When we looked at the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro + Wi-Fi Bridge in 2020, we liked that it let you lock and unlock your door with a keypad, a fingerprint scanner, Alexa and Google voice commands, a mobile app, and a hardware key.
The new Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro Wi-Fi has the same flexibility and adds a few new features, like a door sensor that tells you if your door is open or closed, a Smart Auto Lock feature, and built-in Wi-Fi that eliminates the need for a bridge component.
The Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro Wi-Fi is a full lock assembly that replaces your deadbolt, latch, and strike, as well as your interior and exterior lock parts. It looks the same as the old one, and the black-and-silver Zinc Alloy exterior escutcheon is 2.9 inches by 2.9 inches by 1.2 inches (HWD).
Specifications
- Connectivity Bluetooth, Wi-Fi
- Integrations Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, IFTTT

Where to get ULTRALOQ U-Bolt Pro smart lock?
It has a circular, backlit 0–9 number pad with a 360-degree capacitive fingerprint scanner in the middle and an Ultraloq button at the bottom that you can use to lock the door or light up the keypad. When the door is locked or unlocked, an LED ring around the scanner glows green. When you enter the wrong PIN or someone who isn’t supposed to use the scanner tries to use it, the ring glows red.
The exterior escutcheon’s face is attached to the base by a hinge, so the whole thing can be folded down to reveal the hidden keyway. To open it, lift the face and pull it outward. To close it, fold the face up and snap it back into place. Behind a rubber cover on the bottom edge of the escutcheon is a 5V micro USB port that can be used to power the lock if the battery dies.
The black and silver finish on the outside is also on the inside escutcheon, which is 4.9 by 2.9 by 0.9 inches. Manual control is possible with a thumb turn knob, and the compartment for the four AA batteries is hidden by a cover that can be taken off. There are radios for both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, and a reset button is on the bottom edge of the case.
