In our digital day and age, why are house keys still a thing? They’re easy to lose, easy to copy, and with a little skill and a paperclip someone can get through anyway.

The Ultraloq UL3 smart lever lock brings keyless convenience and the security of fingerprint ID to your doorstep. The lock is programmable so that your fingerprint, personal code, or smartphone unlocks the door. One cool option is to simply knock on your phone four times while it’s in your pocket, an ‘open sesame’ for the IoT era. The lock itself is made of zinc and is tough and resistant. It features an anti-peep touchscreen where you enter your 4 to 8 digit codes, a recessed thumbprint scanner, and yes, a keyhole if you want to keep an analog backup. Additionally, it installs quick and easily syncs across multiple locks, devices and users. So this is a great tool for anyone running an Airbnb.
