ETEKJOY RFID Electronic Cabinet Lock Hidden DIY for Wooden Cabinet Locker Drawer Cupboard (Gray)

Love it!

I bought this to keep my girlfriend's dang kids away from my beloved oreos. Now as I'm struggling to contain my evil stepdad excitement for the moment when they discover the pantry no longer opens freely, I've decided to focus my thoughts on the device that made this dream come true.With the materials used in this device there's no doubt that a sufficiently firm yank on the cabinet door would destroy this lock, but the lock in my opinion is far more useful for the psychological hopelessness induced by being restricted by an unknown force, rather than the actual magnitude of physical restriction. Could my 9 year old stepdaughter liberate my oreos through a show of brute force? I absolutely believe so, but she doesn't know that and that is key.Installation was a little tricky. I could see where anyone who doesn't generally work with their hands might get frustrated. If you take your time and measure things out carefully you shouldn't have any problem getting things to line up. Keep in mind that the screws are driven about a centimeter deep into your cabinetry, be careful not to poke through your cabinet doors. I had to leave one of the screws out of the latching mechanism for this reason.As far as the function of the lock; I'm pretty impressed. So far it has unlocked on the first try every time for me. I do worry about the manufacturer's low power failsafe though. I understand that the lock should unlatch before the batteries die, but should and will are two different things. To give myself peace of mind, my solution was to solder a couple loose wires to the motor pins on the control board. I routed them through a hole that I drilled in the side of the housing and tucked them away with some less than permanent adhesive strips. This way in the event of any sort of malfunction, I can retrieve these leads with a paperclip or something and supply power to the motor directly by connecting these wires to an external power source.All in all, I'm pretty happy with this lock given what I paid for it.

I installed the hidden lock on my cabinet. It was fairly easy to install with a couple of minor adjustments. I would have been a 5 start if a screw template was available to help with the install. Getting the latch to line up with the other attaching part was tricky. You can do it!

Very neat lock for cabinets and keeping things tucked away. Also it was very simple to setup with the given instructions. I'd say with the available strength, the cabinet wood probably be knocked over first by force before this little lock.. or the wood would give way. There is a little availability of leeway in making measurements, but do it right the first time and you won't make too many holes in the wood causing weak spots haha. If only the wood was thicker I would have put longer screws for sure. But they hold up well with at least ⅜" to ½" to stick into. My only part I didn't like was the tiny screws that go into the latch piece. Way too small, so I searched for some that were at least the same size in diameter as the lock screws just shorter. I recommend this little lock for all those project ideas of locking something up in drawers and doors. Definitely will buy more. Thanks for keeping a stock ready to sell here.

I found the video for the installation and setup tutorial (add a QR code next time for ease for customers) and then proceeded to follow it exactly as it shows as well as on the page they send. When installing the batteries I heard a beep and (as their instructions say) I pressed the reset button until it made the long beep. I passed the card and nothing. I tried it again several times and nothing. After a while I even tried with the key fobs and nothing. I sent the seller a message and I'm still waiting for an answer on this, so far 0/5.UPDATE: I was able to contact the seller and arranged a refund. Changed my review to 3/5 due to fast responde and ease of communication with the seller.

Good value. Instructions could use a little bit of work. No visible lock!!!! Stronger than I thought it would be.

The product listing statesSuitable for Wooden Cabinets & Drawers - The lock fits wooden doors less than 1-inch (2.5cm) thick. It is ideal for locking cabinets, drawers, lockers, cupboards, medical carts, data racks, gun boxes, etc. Not suitable for metal doors!!Only problem is, they're liars. I have this lock installed on a 3/4" piece of plywood and the key fobs will only ready once every 10-20 swipes. The Master card works "better" but still not consistently. I contacted support and was told that the key fobs are weak and that I need to search Amazon and buy extra key cards. Your product doesn't work as described so now it's my responsibility to buy extra parts? I think not. Will be returning.. Stay away.

I use this product on a metal filing cabinet and changed out the door for a wooden ones. It works perfectly. It was a bit tricky to install it but I think that was because the type of cabinet I was using however, the function is perfect.
