ULTRALOQ has released a new collection of smart locks including the Bolt Mission, Bolt Pro, and Latch 5 Pro. These models are now available online and represent the first deployment of ultra-wideband technology for hands-free residential access.
Why it matters
This release expands the use of standardized smart home protocols like Matter while introducing granular proximity sensing to the consumer market. It addresses the growing demand for frictionless entry by integrating digital wallet credentials and motion-based detection.
The Bolt Mission retails for $299.99 and differentiates itself by utilizing ultra-wideband ranging—a short-range wireless protocol that enables precise spatial awareness—combined with radar-based presence detection. The Bolt Pro and Latch 5 Pro, priced at $269.99 and $249.99 respectively, feature Aliro-Certified mobile wallet support.
The players
ULTRALOQ
A developer of home security hardware specializing in biometric and connected entry systems.
The details
The Bolt Mission employs a combination of Bluetooth Low Energy, ultra-wideband ranging, and radar to identify when a user is approaching the door for hands-free unlocking. The Bolt Pro and Latch 5 Pro models use Aliro-Certified credentials—a standard for secure mobile device-based access—to communicate with mobile wallets on Apple and Samsung devices. All three models utilize the Matter protocol, an interoperability standard that allows smart home devices from different manufacturers to communicate over a common IP-based network.
Timeline
September 26, 2026: ULTRALOQ announced the launch of the collection.
October 2026: The collection will be available via The Home Depot.
The Tech Race
This release follows a pattern set by the Matter smart home interoperability standard by ensuring all new models support cross-platform compatibility. The integration of ultra-wideband sensing positions ULTRALOQ to compete directly against premium smart lock providers aiming to move beyond traditional Bluetooth-only connectivity.
Users can currently purchase these locks online via ULTRALOQ and Amazon for home installation. The primary workflow change for owners involves replacing physical keys or keypad codes with hands-free proximity-based unlocking or digital wallet credentials.
The takeaway
The move signals a industry-wide pivot toward localized spatial awareness as a standard feature for smart home entry. Interested users should monitor the October 2026 retail rollout at The Home Depot for potential bundle pricing or installation support availability.
What happens next
The smart lock collection is scheduled for retail availability at The Home Depot in October 2026.
