Fingerprint Cabinet Lock, Smart Biometric Password Lock With USB Key, Keyless Hidden File Drawer Wardrobe, Child Safety, DIY Wooden Furniture Privacy for Home Office

I think there's a lot of engineering that went into this little gadget that most folks might not appreciate; i built the cabinet i planned to install this on and found it very conducive to my project. There are some gaps in its design for sure, but for the price im really impressed so far.The fingerprint works better than most other locks I've had experience with. The fact that any currently authorized user can add another is great for my application. If the batteries die it automatically unlocks, and the mechanism is on a sort of oscillating spring, meaning if the latch catches when it dies, you just have to put a little pressure on the drawer to ease the tension and let the spring pull back the latch, mitigating any fears of not being able to get into the drawer without destroying the cabinet.The gaps are where you have to factory reset it to remove a fingerprint but that's trivial when only a handful of people would need access anyways. The keypad and fingerprint reader are solid built but the interior latch is where it starts to fail. The metal jamb plate needs sanded or grinded down about 1/32 of an inch to properly receive the latch if it's installed flush to the face of the drawer. That plate also prevents a perfectly flush fit from the whole interior latch box against it as the screws stick out about 1/8 inch, id be less worried about someone being able to force the drawer open it if was a perfect fit, all that would take is redesigning the metal jamb plate or fabricating a new one. The latch itself is plastic shrouded by aluminum, and it feels very lightweight and flimsy. The curve of the latch also prevents a smooth drawer closing. The programming instructions can be difficult to follow until you get the hang of it.Would still buy again.

The media could not be loaded. Installation is pretty simple if you have basic tools (Drill, proper sized drill bits, and a screwdriver). I installed on the top drawer for an oak desk and had to do some drilling, but was simple enough. Used a paint marker on the prongs (lipstick or crayon works too) to press into place and mark where to drill but would have been nice if it came with a template sticker or something but no big deal. Fingerprint reader seams accurate, opens reliably at different finger angles and doesn't open for wrong fingers. Setup was simple using the videos on the item page but the paper instructions weren't great for the fingerprint part on mine. I guess there's different versions? Oh well. All in all, it does what it's supposed to, seems secure, and a good value for the price. Wished it was 100% rechargeable vs batteries and plug in for backup power but that's a minor detail. Improvement could be made, but I'm sure that would up the price a fair bit as well so definitely for what I paid, I'm happy with it!

Fingerprint reader will not exit programming mode. Instructions to program are unclear. Unlocks with either any warm touch or nothing at all despite following the programming instructions to the letter. Factory Reset doesn't work, either maintains fingerprints or goes back to the open with any warm touch.

Works as expected. Not too bad; it's pretty decent for the price.

These things are cool but I'm not sure what you do if it stops working or if the batteries die. It comes with a digital key not a regular key so if it don't have power you are gonna have to break in. I guess we shall see

To set up fingerprints, the batteries must be completely new, otherwise it will not work.

We bought this to lock up knives in the kitchen. Didn’t work for any of our pull out drawers.

We have had this installed for about 6 months now. The installation wasn't the easiest and I created a hole in the cabinet that wasn't aligned correctly (while using the guide). Once it was done correct, it worked great. As of now, the fingerprint pad no longer recognizes any fingerprints, but the numbers still work good. Easily secures the cabinet door
