Hutools Keyless Entry Door Lock – Fingerprint & 20 User Code Biometric Auto Lock with Emergency Charging Supply, Satin Nickel Finish

Todd J.: I live in an apartment . Need i say more? You really need to take security in your oun hands and this lockset gives me the peace of mind that ordinary keyed locks cant. As keyed locks and keys age the wear down to the point that any keyshaped object can potentially open a lock . I also hot tired of switching out locksets everytime my keys went missing . A keyless lock seemed perfect and for my needs the fingerprint entry it was the perfect solution to lost keys , stolen keys , lock picks, forgettingg gh passcodes . I also liked this particulatr lock because it is a stand alone product meaning it doesnt use wifi or bluetooth. So no hacking or jamming of it .. other features i like are : one time acess code, silent mode, time adjusting auto lock , and its simple to install and it looks nice. And when i move out , i take it with me and put back in the crappy one that was there when i moved in .. Hutools rocks.

Amazon Customer: This is one of the greatest products I bought on Amazon.com. I have tried expensive biometric dead locks but non give me.the satisfaction this lock gave. Getting everything you need at this price is extremely great. Very easy to install, Very easy to configure and and very easy to operate. The only down side is that it cant recognize my 4 years old finger print but I saw this problem in expensive ones too. I really recommend this if you want bio mertic. It doesn't come.with mechanical key though. Adding this would make it perfect. No Wifi or bluetooth but I dont need it. I installed on my Garage and back doors and my kids and family can operate with out physical keys.

Terrie N.: I liked everything about this door lock except the fact that it’s a battery hog. I’m changing the battery every three weeks. It uses 4 double A at a time and batteries are not cheap. My previous lock held the same 2 batteries for over a year. It appears that most of the reviews are written shortly after installation. I’m curious to know if anyone else has this issue after using it for a couple months.

Edited. I contacted the company and they sent me a new lock. This one has been running on the same set of batteries for several months now. The company said that it was probably a bad chip.

Roadrunner: This is well-made and works very well for me. IN maybe 7 or 8 uses thus far it has always been able to recognize my fingerprint and open the door. My wife scanned her thumb and first finger, but for some reason it won't recognize her fingerprint. Her MacBook Air, however, has no trouble scanning and recognizing the same first finger. We need to scan her again. Her fingerprint has been worn down by a lifetime of typing. In the meantime, she uses the keypad to access that door. One issue that came up right way was that we couldn't figure out how to lock the lock when we exited. Careful reading of the instructions told us that you just need to hold down ANY BUTTON for 2 seconds and it locks. I plan to buy another one for my second home, where my daughter leaves the door from the garage to the house unlocked and depends on the overhead garage doors for security. She can't be bothered to get a key out because she usually has an armload of packages. This fingerprint scanner is the obvious solution. I will change my rating to a five if we can get it to recognize my wife's fingerprint.

BRIAN D DIEHM: The only reason for the 4-star rating is because it is advertised as brushed nickel finish, but that's only on the outside. Inside it's black plastic, which is misrepresentation in my opinion. It was a surprise to me — though going back I can see one picture does show this.

The black inside does not affect security, but it makes it hard to glance across the room to see if the deadbolt is locked or not. The turn knob handle itself has an indicator groove, which I have now filled with very pale nail polish (wife's suggestion) and that helps the "at a glance" check in the evenings. But they should have done that, instead of using white ink only for their logo.

My previous traditional deadbolt had a stronger security plate in the door jamb, so I left that in place. Just a tip to look to see if you really need to change the door jamb hardware — not a statement that this is in any way insecure.

I like that this has no connection to spy-ware such as Alexa or Google. And I think that the rapid entry at a fingerprint touch could be a safety feature; no fumbling for keys in an iffy situation. I wound up buying one for each of my outside doors.
