Smart home technology is all about one word: convenience. But all too often, that convenience comes with an exclusive club, locking out anyone who isn’t using a specific brand of smartphone. This creates a headache for families or roommates who use different types of devices, forcing them to find a less-than-perfect solution. Now, the ULTRALOQ Bolt NFC smart lock is finally changing that by bringing one of the most popular features to everyone, regardless of their phone brand.
The ULTRALOQ Bolt NFC is now the smart lock for every phone
The ULTRALOQ Bolt NFC is making a big splash with a new software update that brings the seamless tap-to-unlock experience to Android users. Previously, this feature was a major highlight of the lock’s integration with Apple Home Key. The feature allowed iPhone and Apple Watch owners to simply tap their device to the lock for instant entry. With this latest update, the company has created an equally effortless experience for Android users, leveling the playing field.
So, how does it work? It’s simple. With an NFC-enabled Android phone, you can now get instant, key-free entry by simply tapping your device to the lock. The best part? This is a “true tap-to-unlock” experience. You don’t need to open an app, turn on your screen, or activate any special mode. It just works, right from your pocket, even when the phone’s screen is off or locked.
This update is a major step toward making smart security truly accessible to everyone. The smart lock is now compatible with an estimated 99% of NFC-enabled Android smartphones. This puts it on par with the seamless functionality it offers for Apple Home Key users.
More keyless entry possibilities
The Bolt NFC lock also stands out for its comprehensive approach to keyless entry. In addition to Android NFC and Apple Home Key, the Bolt NFC also works with NFC/RFID cards, tags, and key fobs. This provides a wide array of options for mixed-device households or for granting temporary access to others, such as a dog walker or a visiting family member who may not have a smartphone.
The ULTRALOQ Bolt NFC Key is available for $199.99 MSRP. You can find it online at ultraloq.com and Amazon, as well as at the new brand’s store in New York. The new Android NFC functionality is available as a free software update to the U home app, released on September 5, 2025.
