CODACE Electronic DIY Cabinet Lock, Smart NFC RFID Lock with Slide Latch for Double Hidden Door Cabinet Drawer Wooden Cupboard

We like this for locking a cabinet from the inside without anyone having to see locks and holes and stuff. Install was a little more challenging than I had anticipated because it was tough to line up both parts and the instructions were kind of terrible. But once installed it is very very cool.

I bought these cabinet locks because I had friends that said they were friends help themselves to a couple of my things so what I need to do is start locking things up and kicking in keeping a better eye on them so I bought these cabinet locks from Amazon install them and I keep my most important tools in these cabinets where I don’t have to watch is good because they’re locked. I looked up the key fob think they give you to easily unlock the locks very good product. I was very happy with it.

I recently had to look up the directions for this unit so I could set up another card to unlock it. The blue keys have given out after 2 and a half years. There were cards provided with it so I had to set a new one up. I went to my old orders to find them. Thanks Amazon. The lock has been great and still work perfectly. This is not a vault lock but is strong enough that no one is opening it without enough significant damage to reveal a breach. Keeps honest people honest.

So, I have bought these before, these are my 3rd and 4th. The instruction manual is poorly written, half-baked English. No instruction for how to use the RF from a cell phone to transmit the open code, non-existent instructions. Blah! so that feature is right out of the box useless. The kit comes with extra stuff, not mentioned in the instructions what to do or use them for, so...go figure not sure after 4 installs what they are used for. On the basic stationary pin lock and the battery housing box, you need to give yourself a few hours to setup the unit master and slave cards, find the correct placement and adjustment on the cabinet door and align, I used perm-double-sided tape to help with that. Also you will likely need to add shims, or washers to get the alignment perfect such that it locks and seals and stays locked, then when opened the door may, may slightly pop the door out. Don't fret too much if your door doesn't pop out much or at all, only 1/2 of mine do. But the system works good to secure medicines, booze, and the like from unwanted access from kids or elderly. Be sure to remove the door handles and put one-way screws on any visible hinge screws too. And don't lock it unless you have access to it with the card, fobs, or from behind, once locked it is locked and you will need to remove hinges or bust out the door. My 3rd and 4th ones of these, so they do work.

Works ok with RFID, but does not support NFC as advertising claims which is the whole reason why I purchased. Lock itself is pretty bulky, would be ok inside a big cabinet, but probably too big for a drawer or hidden shelf. Kind of cheaply made out of plastic.

I have been trying to use with my Apple phone but transit cards do not work without having to ad money on a card. So I still can’t use that feature. It locks pretty well and I like the distance the cards can be away before it activated. I would like it to have a feature that I could switch of the beeping when it is unlocked. But next time I may go with the Bluetooth version

So i had a hard time getting this installed, instructions are not clear and there is no way to premount to line up. So that just made this a nightmare and a half to get. Also the reader to open it works id say 75% of the time. Sometimes im forced to hold it there for a good 5 seconds for it to read. And this is on a standard drawer

I little hard to find out to set up at Frist but once there on they work good.
