ULTRALOQ Bolt Pro: Aliro + Matter Smart Lock Sep 2026

Smart locks are picking up two standards at once. On September 25, 2026, HomeKit News and ULTRALOQ’s PR Newswire release detailed commercial availability of the Bolt Pro, Latch 5 Pro, and Bolt Mission collection.

Aliro vs Matter vs UWB

All three locks are Matter certified for Apple Home and other major platforms. Bolt Pro ($269.99) and Latch 5 Pro ($249.99) are ULTRALOQ’s first Aliro-certified locks—Aliro (CSA) standardizes digital access credentials so a phone can act as a house key in Apple Wallet or Samsung Wallet. That is separate from Matter: Matter ties the lock into Home automations; Aliro handles the credential used at the door. Bolt Mission ($299.99) keeps UWB approach-to-unlock (BLE discovery + UWB ranging + radar presence) and Matter over Thread, but is not listed as Aliro / Apple Wallet in the HomeKit News write-up.

• Bolt Pro: deadbolt; Aliro wallet key, fingerprint, PIN, app, physical key; SmartThings
• Latch 5 Pro: lever form; same Aliro/Matter access set; side doors / offices / rentals
• Bolt Mission: hands-free UWB; Thread Border Router needed for Matter remote
• Retail: ULTRALOQ store and Amazon now; Home Depot online beginning October

Caveats

Vendor battery, biometric, and ranging claims are PR-sourced. Independent security audits are not in these articles. Bolt Mission’s UWB path needs a compatible UWB phone; Matter remote needs a Thread Border Router.

CES preview vs September shelf

Several next-gen ULTRALOQ locks appeared at CES 2026; the September announcement is the commercial cut with Aliro emphasized for Apple users. Bolt Pro and Latch 5 Pro combine Matter Home integration with wallet tap-to-unlock, fingerprint, PIN, and app control. SmartThings hooks on Pro models can drive lighting or climate when a door unlocks. Households wanting automatic unlock without tapping should evaluate Bolt Mission’s UWB stack instead—and confirm their phone actually has UWB radios.

For Apple Home users the practical decision is credential style: wallet tap on Bolt Pro / Latch 5 Pro versus automatic UWB approach on Bolt Mission. Mixed households on Samsung Wallet + SmartThings get explicit callouts on the Pro models for per-person digital keys and unlock-triggered automations. October Home Depot online availability matters for US shoppers who prefer big-box checkout over brand.com.

FAQ

Does Bolt Pro need a hub? Matter remote typically needs a compatible controller / Thread Border Router; local wallet unlock is a separate path.

Is Bolt Mission Aliro? Not listed—UWB is its differentiator.
