Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is investigating reports that Ultraloq U-Bolt Pro Wi-Fi smart locks experience recurring connectivity failures, battery issues, random unlocking behavior, and biometric-functionality concerns.
Consumers report situations in which the lock allegedly authenticates users but fails to physically unlock, disconnects unexpectedly from Wi-Fi, inaccurately reports battery status, or otherwise becomes unreliable during normal use. Additional concerns have been raised regarding the handling and storage of biometric fingerprint information utilized by the lock’s fingerprint-access features.
The investigation is examining whether U-Tec adequately disclosed these alleged defects and whether consumers were properly informed regarding smart-lock reliability and biometric-data practices.
