Yale Assure Lock 2 Matte Black
Score: 88/100
Ultraloq Bolt
Score: 92/100Rankings
The ULTRALOQ Bolt Fingerprint WiFi Smart Deadbolt offers robust ANSI Grade 1 security with seamless native Apple Home integration. It features built-in WiFi and Thread support, eliminating the need for a separate hub for remote access. The main trade-off is the lack of a Micro-USB backup port and reliance on 2.4GHz WiFi.
The Yale Matte Black Keyed Deadbolt Smart Lock with Google Matter features Matter over Thread technology for cross-platform smart home integration and long battery life. It requires a separate Matter-enabled hub for remote access and lacks biometric scanning, which may be a drawback for some users. Ideal for Google Home and Nest users seeking Matter-compatible keyless entry.
