I put this in today and it was easy to install and setup. Replaced my existing deadbolt so I didn’t need to do any additional drilling aside from make the hole behind the strike plate (I reused the existing one) slightly deeper to accomodate the bolt. Was surprised how smoothly it went and how quick the install was.

Very cool!

Be aware of the Auto-lock feature. If you set the Auto-lock function on, the door will lock in a preset chosen time (default is 30 seconds). When I arrive home and open the door, I usually leave the door open so we can see out the glass storm door. So then in 30 seconds, the door Auto-locks (the bolt extends out). Then whenever I go back to close the door, I have to manually unlock the door (so the bolt is drawn back inwards) so it can be closed . Overall, I am very pleased with this Ultraloq deadbolt !

Yeah that could be a pain. I must’ve not set mine up that way.

I’m totally installing something like this on our next house. I installed them for our condo front and rear entry. Love them. I would have done our unit but we knew we were selling. Can’t believe we didn’t do it years sooner. No more getting locked out taking the garbage out. Keys are for suckas!

It has done really well so far yes. This is my first experience with a smart WiFi deadbolt so I can speak for all of them but this seemed to do well. It works with assistants like Alexa and google home too but I don’t have any to try it out with.

What keyway is this lick in please? You needed to tell folks that those 3 inch screws need to go into the studding around the door. A guide hole for the screws helps insure no splitting of the studding. The finish you have is referred to as durodinic. Nowadays the locks are powder coated. Oil rubbed brass is called a living finish and will rub off. I have been a locksmith since 1981 in October. I sold lock & door security products for a major lock supply company for 10 years. I appreciate your review. The locks grading needed to be stated. Grade 1,2,or 3.

Hi thanks for the comment. How do I tell what grade it is, is that something to ask the manufacturer? The key itself is designed a lot like a Schlage key.

@michaelmueller8976

The manufacturer should state that. For home exterior use at the least grade 2. I use grade 1. The strikeplate is key to the protection needed. A 4 digit code yields 4 to the 10th in possible codes. It looks like a decent deadbolt lock. The throw of the DB should be at least 1 inch. Modern doors are prepped with RCS (round corner strike). If I can help you in any way, just ask. ❤️

Do you know if you can Rekey this lock? And if you have two of them, do you need 2 wifi bridges?

I’m actually not sure on either of those. That’d be a good thing to ask them directly I think. 👍

They recommend one bridge per lock .

Does this lock have a safety lockout feature in the event you don’t have the key and battery dies, like a 9v battery port under the lock to power up and type in code?

I don’t know. I never hooked up the smart home system. I stay away from that too. I’ve used the WiFi feature and it works well but I don’t know about emf with that. You could contact the manufacturer.

Alexa can only lock the door, she can not unlock the door for that reason. Need the Ultraloq BRIDGE for Aleex. If you want to let someone in without going to the door, it can be done by phone app.
