The ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint WiFi Smart Deadbolt offers robust ANSI Grade 1 security with seamless native Apple Home integration.

The Level Lock+ (Matter) is the world's smallest Matter-over-Thread smart deadbolt, designed to retrofit existing deadbolts with minimal visible bulk. It supports Apple Home Keys and door status detection while maintaining high security standards. It is ideal for Apple HomeKit users prioritizing aesthetics and reliability in modern homes.
