There are tons of gadgets that have been crafted with the goal of making our everyday lives easier, and one smart device that's become popular in recent years is the smart lock. Designed to eradicate the need for a physical key, smart locks come in various forms and have been created as a newer, more efficient way to enter your home and to keep it safe. And the U-Bolt Smart Lock ($170, originally $240) might just be the coolest one yet.
The U-Bolt Smart Lock lets people access their homes in four unique ways — by fingerprint, numeric code, smartphone app, or physical key. It also comes with an auto lock and unlock feature, lets you share a code or an eKey for specific periods of time (think holiday rentals) and also keeps a log of who has entered your home and when, all viewable directly on your smartphone.
You can purchase the U-Bolt Smart Lock on Amazon with or without expert setup (which comes in at an extra $109).
U-Bolt Smart Lock - Fingerprint Unlock
Easily the coolest and most innovative part of the U-Bolt Smart Lock ($170, originally $240) is the fingerprint unlock feature. Use your smartphone to log your fingerprints, and then simply touch the centre of the plate to gain access to your home.
U-Bolt Smart Lock - Smartphone Unlock
Already have your smartphone out and ready to use? Or just can't use your fingerprint because you just grabbed a snack? No worries! You can use your smart phone to unlock your U-Bolt Smart Lock ($170, originally $240) by simply going to the app that goes hand in hand with the smart device and unlocking it that way.
U-Bolt Smart Lock - Numeric Code Unlock
Have you ever wanted to pretend to be a spy and enter a supersecret password to gain entry into your destination? No, just me? Well if you did, or if you don't have access to your smartphone or fingerprint, you could use a numeric code to unlock your U-Bolt Smart Lock ($170, originally $240). Described as an "anti-peep keypad," users can type in any number of random digits and still gain access as long as the correct password is embedded in the longer set of numbers.
U-Bolt Smart Lock - Physical Key Unlock
And last but not least is the old fashioned way to unlock your U-Bolt Smart Lock ($170, originally $240) — with a physical key. Simply pull down the black plate and insert your key if all else fails.
