There’s a special brand of fear that comes with receiving an email stating that there was a mysterious log-in attempt on one of your social media accounts. As the paranoia inspires you to frantically change all of your passwords, consider that it may be time to upgrade the security surrounding your front door.
The ULTRALOQ U-Bolt smart lock replaces your existing deadbolt to extend locking options to remote app access, a keypad code, and more for a good chunk of change less than other brands offering a keypad. A current sale and extra coupon at Amazon get it to you for just under $95.
Even with the smart lock guarding your front door, locking and unlocking can be as easy as using the manual key that you’re used to using or via codes picked by you. Barring a fingerprint sensor, which only the U-Bolt Pro offers, a code is one of the most secure ways to arm your front door. Each member of your household (plus anyone who visits often) can be registered and choose a code that works just for them. The anti-peeping feature allows you to punch in random digits while entering your code as long as your actual code was in there somewhere.
Paying $25 more can upgrade you to the bundle that adds a WiFi bridge (the bundle is also on sale with a coupon). The bridge is required to make the most use out of the U-tec app when you’re not home: Remote access or temporary codes can be sent to the door for pet sitters or to kids when they get home from school. The app can also be used to turn on auto-unlock, which unlocks or locks the door when it feels your phone’s location approaching or leaving your property — a godsend for hands full of groceries. A simple lock status check on the app means you’ll never be breaking out in a sweat halfway to work while wondering if you remembered to lock the door.
