Score: 88/100
Kwikset Halo
Score: 88/100Rankings
The ULTRALOQ U-Bolt is a versatile smart deadbolt offering high security with ANSI Grade 1 certification and Matter-over-Thread compatibility. It features a large fingerprint capacity and IP65 weatherproofing, making it durable for outdoor use. However, remote access capabilities are limited without purchasing an additional bridge.
The Kwikset Halo is a high-security Wi-Fi smart deadbolt featuring a capacitive touchscreen and hub-free connectivity. Its reliance on strong Wi-Fi signals and lack of ADA compliance are notable trade-offs. It is ideal for tech-savvy homeowners seeking a secure, easy-to-install upgrade without extra hardware.
