      Yep! I got one maybe 4 months ago. Super easy to install and it's been super handy. I've got a Tesla so now I'm completely keyless and I just carry my phone around. The app is kind of crap and the auto-unlock by location doesn't work for me. But pin code works perfectly and my wife continues to use her key because shes old skool

    This doesn't look like its got the same core, but it also doesn't specify anything about what core it DOES have so who knows what you'd get.

      99% this will have schlage core looking at the review pictures. I do not recommend.

      • BargainBogan99 on 14/04/2023 - 15:20

        Its a schlage SC1 core. No security/antitamper pins

        • macrocephalic on 14/04/2023 - 15:59

          Security pins are not really needed on most residential doors. Anyone who wants to get in will get in easily with a brute force attack. Most houses have external wafer locks (on security doors, windows, etc).

          • BargainBogan99 on 14/04/2023 - 16:28

          • PlaunsJanus on 15/04/2023 - 03:52

            @macrocephalic: What's a brute force attack? Is that a term used to gain access or digitally or physically?
            Is the a weak point like the window, the lock barrels/hardware or an electronic attack?

              @PlaunsJanus: Both. In the physical sense, can be as unsophisticated as a crowbar, or as recently seen on the news, vicegrips clamped onto the door handle and shearing through the pins.

              For those of you concerned about the public knowing these exploits, that particular one has been open knowledge for the last 40 years or so, and is just one of the many reasons why the hotel industry moved to swipe cards.

            • BargainBogan99 on 15/04/2023 - 09:40

              @PlaunsJanus: In this context, a brute force attack is literally the application of physics brute force. To force the door, to force the lock, to force the window etc tothe poi t of a mechanical failure.

      For those who don’t want to watch the YouTube video, it’s basically saying the core lock is easy to pick, and therefore not recommended.

      Also, this is the non fingerprint model so you unlock with your smart phone, pin, or key backup.

      • BargainBogan99 on 14/04/2023 - 15:24
        +3

        Yeah. But if you can be bothered you can swap the core with a compatible kik core, or swap in some security pins.

        If youre replacing a schlage sc1 with this you may be able to do a direct swap.

            +3

            @MuddyClear: I've never seen a front door lock "picked" in my community. I've seen these entry methods in real life: window broken, glass door broken, kids lifted through tiny louvered window above door, window aircon removed for access, door kicked open, door jimmy barred open, door latch bypassed with shim, stolen keys, and doors just left unlocked.

            I'm sure that some household front door locks have been picked, but I've never seen it. I'm not involved in security or policing, but I live in a high-crime community. Lock-picking? That's a skillset and attack method that just isn't efficient for most residential break-ins.

            I love watching Lock Picking Lawyer, but the pick-resistance of the front door lock has never played a role in any household break-in that I've seen. Maybe there are certain building types or zonings or living densities where lock picking becomes a preferred entry method. I haven't looked into it.

              @yak: Thanks for your input.

              It depends on the socioeconomic area you live in. Like I said, professional criminals target high value areas where lock picking is the preferred choice. Sure, out in whoop whoop you will find the numnuts preferred choice is to smash their way in leaving fingerprints and blood all over the place

              • yak on 14/04/2023 - 22:29
                +2

                @MuddyClear: I wrote about the methods being used in this comment, but deleted it because it was off focus. The short version is, the break-ins are pretty darn professional and organised. Just because they're low tech, or not skilled in a way that you find admirable, doesn't mean that they aren't perfectly adapted to the environment where they're happening.

                According to art-of-lockpicking's analysis of FBI data (2003-2007), only 1.36% of home break-ins involved lockpicking. 98.64% of break-ins used other methods of entry. Lockpicking appears to be an edge case, rather than the usual entry method.

                I know that data is nigh 20 years old, and for a different western country with different ideas about home protection, but I can't see any Aussie data at all on lockpicking burglary rates - so that'll have to do for now.

        Seems like home smart locks all review like shit. But there’s a pane of glass next to my front door and my yard is full of rocks. I’m not sure that a malicious third party is gonna bother busting out the lockpick set.

        I‘m also pretty sure my existing genetic deadbolts is wildly Vulnerable to bump attacks. My dog is so friendly that he’ll show you where I keep the valuables and help you find a box to carry shit out. And I sleep with prescription sleep meds. But for some reason I always flinch away from smart locks because they’re not secure enough.

    • wildmx on 14/04/2023 - 17:45

        Yes its the same core. You can replace the core though if you want, just measure the length to get something compatible. (5 pin kik core)..

        How does the door closed sensor work/fit. Is it a switch on each side (door+frame) like a window sensor?

        • wildmx on 06/05/2023 - 23:04

            @wildmx: One thing that bugs me about the Pro model with the fingerprint sensor is the wires that are easily accessible for tamper when you lower the keypad for gaining access to the key hole.

              @DoctorCalculon: I just checked and saw that. Didn't know. Has anyone been able to tamper with the wires easily? The fingerprint is so convenient though

          Yeah, but it's LPL. If he takes longer than 30 seconds, it'd be a gold standard. Note that it took an unusual tool to access it. It wasn't a typical lockpick and turner.

          That's a long way better than the wave rake attack that was successful on the lower end model.

            @BargainBogan99:

            Support got to the point where they were saying my older unit is faulty for not detecting all mamual unlocks and id need to replace it

            Do you have the U-Bolt Pro Wi-Fi units like me?

            Can you explain what you mean by not detecting manual unlocks?

            If I manually unlock the door, and move the door away from the door sensor with a bit of force and I hear the single beep noise, then it is all good.
            However, if I absentmindedly open the door slowly (and there was no beep noise) after about 30s (my configured timeout period), auto locking will engage even though the door is wide open.

            The door sensor is a just a simple magnet. The issue most likely likes within the lock firmware.

            • BargainBogan99 on 18/04/2023 - 12:31

              @DoctorCalculon: Manual unlocks = using the key or when opening from the inside using the knob on the back.
              If I do either of those its 50% chace it doesnt get detected by the lock or app and then auto lock doesnt work and neither does logging (obviously)

    I'm happy with it. This is the best price I've seen for Ultraloq in Australia, by a significant margin. The model I bought at Christmas for $229 (on promo), is $194.65 today.

      Probably not cleanly. Depends on the thickness of the door where the deadbolt would be stored. The dims for the locks are on the Ultraloq site.

      I was able to fit one to my 7ft high steel garden gate, but that's because the gate is homemade and I didn't care how ugly it looked from the inside. The lock is prettier than the gate. :D

    Beware the version without inbuilt wifi.

    Im not sure if its only these early generstion models (non wifi ones) but theyre flaky AF with regards to auto locking and detecting lock events.

    Even with the optional wifi bridge they still dont function correctly maybe 2-5% of the time.
    Support are pretty much useless as well, its just a forum basically, couple of users there reporting the same issues.

    Other than that they are really convenient.

          Yeh its not the greatest tbh, and as i mentioned in another comment the auto unlock feature doesnt work every time, and sometimes when you want to adjust the settings or add another user it doesnt work. But the physical lock itself, especially when using rhe keypad, works very good.

          For me the app works most of the time both via bluetooth and wifi. I'm using a wifi bridge.

          But sometimes the wifi part stops without giving notice and you have to turn the bridge off and back on.

          Also, the app used to have trouble with retrieving logs.

          And also because the lock doesnt always register manual unlocks, the status of the locked state can be incorrect.

          And also because the lock doesnt always register manual unlocks, the auto lock feature doesn't trigger

        You do get a notification. I've not seen it because I change them out earlier.

        BUT, you have two back up options: a physical key, or you can plug a power bank into a hidden port (covered by a weather seal rubber cover) to give it power and let you in.

        Having said that you get constant notification when the battery is low every time you use the lock. And I tested it out to see how long after the notification the batteries would last before it died and it actually lasted at least for 2 months.

        I got the model with the wifi bridge, which works OK but it has to be quite close to the door. The built in wifi is the newer model so definitely get that if it’s not that much more expensive

    I have bluetooth + finger print model too. Highly recommend
    1. easy to install
    2. finger print is fast
    3. physical key for battery dead
    4. battery lasts a half year. I guess it depends on usage
    5. Mobile app to set finger print, users, password

    Anyone have any good recommendations for home access control? I got a quote for a Schlage Omnia but wonder if it is vulnerable to a strong magnet like the LPL shows in his other videos.

    I am actually keen to get an HID strike/pad setup (which I believe can use the iOS wallet); but apparently getting HID is complicated and requires a re-seller to manage your accounts (what a joke). But the locksmith said they can do Rosslare keypad + Inception controller but it won't do an iOS wallet (properly).

    Any suggestions? Just get the Schlage?

    I’ve had one for a couple of years now, with wifi and fingerprint. I’m seeking to replace mine as we had a recent serious security breach with ours. I sent an email to U Tec and never received a response so I assume they don’t care.

    We had given code access to a friend who was staying at our place. They no longer needed access to our home, so I went to delete their code, but was told I need to upgrade the firmware on the lock. So I did. It erased everything and we needed to start from scratch - which wasn’t a big deal. So I set the lock up again and set codes for my wife and I. There weren’t and still aren’t any other listed authorised users within the app. Yet, when this friend came over again three months later (luckily we were home) they typed in their code and were granted access. The app logged them as an “-“ in the app, not even pretending that they had authorisation as a known user.
    Now I don’t know how to erased all previously granted codes - a big deal.

      Try factory reset again?

        Again? Cause it worked so well the first time…
