Helpful Hint: I purchased this exact system based on seeing it on your videos. I had a horrible time getting it to recognize my fingerprint. It took about 3 to 4 times often to get it to recognize my fingerprint. To get around this, I registered my fingerprint 3 times (it can hold up to 20). Now, it is almost perfect at detecting my fingerprint and opening. It may not be necessary for you, but if you find yourself having a fit, try that and hopefully you will enjoy this handle as much as I do now.

A doorlock for your bathroom too prevent your kids seeing anything.... sound like the middle ages to me. We (here in NL) don't scare them, we just do normal over the human body. Still love your video's. But there is a use different in rasing kids across the ocean i think. In my childhood my sister locked herself in the bathroom one time; couldn't open the door. Ever since none of my family then, and now 40 years later my own family...nobody locks the door. Perhaps there is a market for a doorhandle to be opened from the outside - in case of emergencies.
@huckster86
2 жыл бұрын
Regarding the bathroom, the only caution I'd raise is because it's a space that has more hazards (here, I mostly am thinking of slips, but electrocution and heart attacks on the toilet are things to be mindful of as well), if you lock yourself inside it will be more difficult to get help to you in an emergency if the backup fingerprints (family members) aren't around to open the door. It pretty much guarantees you'll always need to break down the door.

Reed, I'm glad you're loving this lock, but after living with it for a year, we're looking forward to getting rid of it. At first, it worked as it was supposed to. Then the fingerprint sensor quit working. (Ours does not have the indented groove to help position your fingerprint - perhaps that was a more recent addition in response to problems like ours.) But the most annoying problem we've had is that it is too easy to hit the lock/unlock button accidentally, just by grabbing the handle to turn it. You can't just grab the handle and push - you have to learn to avoid touching the center of the handle to avoid the little button. I don't know why it wasn't put in a place where you'd have to deliberately reach for it. For the past few months, we've had contractors working in the house, so each crew member has to be taught how to put the door in unlocked mode, and what to do when the button is accidentally pressed. Overall, this lock has been a failure. The door is scheduled to be replaced, and we won't be using this lock again. I think the door handle is as discouraged as we are, because now it won't even snap back to horizontal, but droops down in the four or five o'clock position.

How is the lock holding up for those that's had it for a year or longer? Im a couple weeks in and some how my family members as well as my self are experiencing finger print issues already. Worked great at first but maybe the scanner is all smudged up so hard to read. My administrator print however works pretty well with a light touch. Print that does not have administrator privileges not so much. Was also told that batteries after first change degrades significantly. Any first hand experiences with battey longevity and reliability? If this doesn't improve soon then it's going back.
