I can confidently say the Utec Bolt smart lock is one of the best I’ve had the pleasure to use, bar none. Usually, I hesitate to say things like that. Especially if I haven’t used a lot of different devices. But I have gone through a few smart locks on my front door, including Schlage models like the Camelot.

All right, so this deadbolt might be good for you if you're looking for all various ways of opening and unlocking your door. So, you have the keypad, the fingerprint, even have physical keys that you can use as well as the app. But this is especially good if you are a Apple Home user cuz this is one of the few deadbolts I've seen on the market that actually integrates with Apple Home.

My only nitpick, it's a little chunky on slimmer doors, but once installed, it looks sleek and modern.

Honestly, if a lock can’t reliably lock and unlock, then it sounds like it’s a complete nonstarter? It’s like, “You had ONE JOB, Ultraloq.
