I have this for my apartment. I had low expectations because the Amazon rating was a bit low but it has been solid without any issues. The only things I can think of:

1. A bit loud when it's locking / unlocking. But it's not *that* loud (not enough to bother anyone) and also how often are you unlocking / locking the door???

2. There is like a 3-5 second lag between placing your finger onto the sensor and the door recognizing it / opening the door. It's slow enough to make you wait, but given it's wireless I guess that's the price you have to pay.

3. No HomeKit which was a big deal until I forgot about it.

I did way too much research months back when I was looking for a lock, for the price (I got it for $112.40 with tax for the lock itself) it's basically the only option if you want a fingerprint sensor, allowing you to keep the OG key, and not having to mount a massive obvious device on the outside of the door.

Avoid ALL Yale or any locks with a Bridge.
It'll crap out eventually.
Ask me how I know....

my uloq fingerprint sensor crapped out after about 3 or 4 years. otherwise it's been fairly reliable.

I assume it's because it fits over existing deadbolts.

To be an apartment lock, maintenance must be able to use their master key to enter the apartment. So this lock only changes the inside on the lock leaving the outside the exact same. There are other locks that change the outside portion also but have a "pinhole" that will allow maintenance to set the lock tumbler to the existing key.
I installed this lock (without the keypad) at my daughter's apartment 3 weeks ago. She and her roommates say it works well and no issues. I suggested that they leave a key in their car or backpack just in case. And yes, it is a loud lock.
