Being able to manage access codes, check logs, and control the lock remotely makes it ideal for busy households or Airbnb hosts. Battery life held strong during testing, but you’ll need to keep spare AAs handy. All in all, it’s packed with useful features that rival pricier models.

How It Compares
Compared to locks like the Schlage Encode Plus or August Wi-Fi Smart Lock, the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro stands out for its fingerprint access and built-in Wi-Fi without extra hubs. While it lacks Apple HomeKit support, the variety of access methods and sturdy security certification make it a strong competitor—especially for the price.
Final Verdict
The CrimeStats team awards the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro WiFi Smart Lock the top choice badge with a 6/6 rating. It’s user-friendly, secure, and feature-packed—ideal for Irish households looking to combine smart functionality with solid value. The fingerprint feature alone is worth shouting about, but it’s the combination of flexible access and remote control that makes it a standout.
