The ULTRALOQ Bolt SE WiFi Smart Lock with Handle is a fully integrated deadbolt system that combines a keyless entry mechanism with a built-in handle for streamlined access. Its construction features a durable zinc alloy exterior paired with a reinforced latch, providing a sturdy feel that withstands daily use. The lock supports Matter over Thread, ensuring compatibility with major smart home platforms including Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. A capacitive fingerprint reader is embedded in the handle, allowing quick and accurate biometric entry. The lock also accommodates multiple access methods: an app-based interface, a programmable keypad for code entry, and remote control via Wi-Fi.

Power is supplied by four AA batteries, which the manufacturer rates for approximately 18 months of typical operation. The device is designed for standard US door thicknesses ranging from 1.375 to 2 inches, and installation requires only a screwdriver, following the included template. The finish is a clean matte black that resists smudging. The lock’s Wi-Fi module is integrated internally, eliminating the need for an additional bridge. The motor works quietly and consistently during locking and unlocking cycles.

The companion app provides real-time status updates, activity logs, and the ability to share virtual keys with trusted users. The keypad uses backlit numbers for visibility in low light. The fingerprint sensor uses a high-resolution optical scanner that captures detailed ridges, and it can store multiple fingerprints for household members. The deadbolt itself operates with a metal mechanism that meets ANSI Grade 2 standards, balancing safety with smooth operation.

The lock can be set to automatically relock after a user-defined delay, adding convenience. In terms of connectivity, Matter certification ensures interoperability with a growing ecosystem of devices. For homes without a Thread border router, the built‑in Wi‑Fi maintains direct cloud access. The installation kit includes a strike plate and screws suited for both wood and metal door frames.

The device does not require a subscription for basic functions, and firmware updates are delivered over‑the‑air. The overall design prioritizes simplicity—no visible screws on the exterior, and the handle is ergonomically shaped for comfortable turning. The lock is suitable for homeowners seeking a versatile smart lock that supports both modern automation and traditional code/fingerprint methods. Its price point offers substantial value given the integrated Wi‑Fi and Matter support, making it a competitive option in the smart lock market.
