With a smart lock, you’ll never have to wonder if you remembered to lock the door on your way out of the house. And with the Black Friday deals in full swing right now, you can grab one of the best models on the market at a serious discount. Wellbots has knocked $80 off the Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro, so you can get your hands on it for just $99 right now. There’s no telling when this deal will expire, so we’d recommend getting your order in sooner rather than later if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.
The Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro with Wi-Fi scored a spot in our roundup of the best smart locks of 2024 thanks to its affordable price stage and advanced features that make it a great choice for folks out there who have rentals or Airbnbs. You don’t need to use keys to get into the house, meaning you (or guests) can use a coded entry — and there’s no app needed to access this feature. Plus, if it’s a temporary guest, you can set access to expire after a certain period of time.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
Homeowners can use the built-in fingerprint sensor for even easier entry. (There’s also a hidden keyhole in case you do ever need to access the house the old-fashioned way.) And you can also use the app on your smartphone, which lets you control your smart lock from anywhere, and see a log of who’s entered the home, complete with a timestamp, any time you want.
This lock uses two-layer protection, secure 128-bit AES and a dynamic key to protect your data. If you have a large family, it’s worth noting that this device can identify up to 120 fingerprints, and it takes less than 0.4 second. Plus, because it has Wi-Fi built in, its range is pretty good, meaning you shouldn’t have to worry about your router not being in the same room.
