This Top-Rated Smart Lock Is 50% Off During October’s Prime Day.
The jury is still out on whether smart locks are more secure than your standard deadlock , but if you’ve been waiting to figure it out yourself, today is a good day to get one.
The ULTRALOQ U-Bolt Pro smart lock has received rave reviews online for its sleek, small size and, above all, quietness. What fascinates me, however, is how many ways the door can be opened (which may seem odd considering it’s designed to keep people out). The versatility is fantastic: you can unlock it with your fingerprint, keypad, smartphone access, automation or the good old key.
This lock can also be part of an automation system that knows you are approaching your home because there is a sensor on you or in your car. When it detects you, it will unlock. The numbers on the keypad are especially large and easy to see—a common complaint among smart lock users.
Testers did have some concerns about battery drain, which they didn’t think was a dealbreaker, and thought setup could be easier, but still gave the lock high marks.
These locks are traditionally expensive, so 50% off is a bargain any day. At a new price of $149, there’s no point in trying it out since most smart locks take up the same space on your door as a traditional deadbolt and don’t require new holes. If you find that you don’t like it, you can always switch back and return this lock to Amazon within 30 days, no questions asked.
