Buoan Fingerprint Door Knob, Smart Fingerprint Door Knob with Lock, Black

Works fine if you follow the instructions. If you set it up, how do you think it should work and it works for anyone and you think it’s just a pressure plate then you haven’t set it up correctly and you did not follow the instructions. I thought the same thing until I read the instructions. Make sure that you do it from a few different angles like it says in the directions and that the beeps and flashes happen like it says in the directions and you’ll see that your other hand does not work unless you set your other hand up as an additional user.

It’s easy to install and set up

If I could leave zero stars, I would. The only positive thing I have to say is that the installation process was quite simple, but everything else? Terrible. The "fingerprint scanner" is actually just a hypersensitive pressure plate, so anyone can use it to open the door. I realized this when I accidentally went to open the door with my other hand that I hadn't "registered" any fingerprints on & it unlocked. I gave it the benefit of the doubt & thought maybe I did & just forgot? So I had my roommate, who hadn't touched the doorknob at all yet, try it & once again ... DING! It unlocks. We did at least get to make a fun little game out of it & tried coming up with the weirdest way to open it. The ones that got the most laughs were a vase, journal, remote, her thigh, my foot, a laptop, another doorknob & my dog's paw. Since I discovered how useless the knob's "fingerprint scan" was, I decided to just take the batteries out & use the keys it comes with instead so I could actually, y'know, lock it? NOPE! Turns out that without the batteries it's even more useless & doesn't lock AT ALL. Basically, unless you're looking for black metal door knob with a fun gimmick but is utterly ineffective at keeping people out, it's just a complete waste of time & money.

I really like this door handle. Bought it so I could keep the kids out of my office area. My wife and I both have our finger prints on it and it works every time. Also wasn’t too hard to figure out how to install. I have since bought another one.

recomendando 100% buen producto y se siente de muy buena calidad

Setting up the fingerprint is not working properly other than that love the item

Changing my Review dropping from 5 stars to 3. Just about everything I stated below is correct, the exception is that while I did state that this has a standard Kwikset Key-way and I wanted to re-key it to my other locks, this is not possible. The actual Core is smaller then a Kwikset. I am old and have been playing with locks and key for some 50 plus years. I can open many with picks and have re-keyed hundreds. While the key-way is designed to fit a kwikset blank, the pins are not standard. Kwikset has 7 standard different pins, due to the smaller diameter core only #1 through #4 will fit leaving the top (locking) pins very short. The springs adding tension to the top pins are about a two-thirds smaller and lighter. The core for this is very sloppy and would be pick-able with very, very little effort. The cover for the top pins is a Pressure Fit and not mean to be removed. I discovered this after the second knob was ordered and arrive. Since I had not installed it yet, I tried to re-key this one first. I will be leaving the first one I ordered as is. Thought I would fix this by going to a local Locksmith and getting a new Honest Kwikset Core. Unable to match the pattern or 'tale end'. As the Locksmith explained this just looks like some Cheap China crap. After digging into the enthralls deeper, I kind of agree. I do like the design of the knob and so far the Electronics and print reader on the first one seems to be working. Needed to take away some Stars due to the sloppy core and the non-standard and limited pins. CAN'T REKEY THIS CRAP! -------- Order this lock and received it on 21 Jan this year. I have placed it on one of a storage room door (one of the unused bedrooms), It primary purpose is to bar walk-in. I have some caregivers who clean the whole house and it is not necessary to work in a storage room - not much of real value but they love to stack and sort stuff - and I can never find it again :) The lock works well. Setup allows for the first two registered fingerprints to act as admin. The admin can then add new prints as users. The standard users can be lock out if you turn the inside lever - admin can still access. The system will do auto-locking and this can be turned off by the admin print by placing it on the reader and waiting till the lock 'chirps' to the count of ten. The lock is then disabled and anyone can turn the outer knob to open. To enable auto-lock the admin print repeats the press till 10 'chirps' are confirmed. The reader does have ring with some color coding on it: green for unlocked, pink for not a valid print and purple for admin functions. As stated by others, it runs on 4 AAA cells. Don't know the expected life but batteries can be accessed, loaded or changed by releasing one screw that holds the battery cover (part of the inside knob). One user stated it is hard to determine polarity but if you look at the slots the long springs are bottom and short are top. It does fit well for standard install replacing existing knobs. I have been 'playing with locks' for some 40 plus years. All my internal doors are keyed to one print and my external locks are keyed to and entry key. I am sure that the manufacturer would not approve but the core of this lock is a standard Kwikset K1 Keyway. I have dismantled this lock and found that the core can be re-keyed (warning: do not attempt with some mechanical knowledge - small parts and springs). One review warned of a weakness in this, the section holding the print reader is plastic and while it is encased somewhat securely into the metal of the knob, it could be punched out without to much effort - don't suggest this for entry doors. Not that much of and issue for me as it is only to halt housekeepers and visiting children - now all over 50! I have a more secure dead-bolt push-button on my chemical closet. Oils, glues, cleaners etc to keep the Grand/Great Grand-kids safe. I am considering ordering a second knob for the Office Door. Again this will stop general traffic but not for full security. All inside doorways are simple lite hollow-core. As the the print reader, it is very quick to respond and seems to read well. I think the description stated and average of one year on batteries - unknown! there is a small port under the key-way to allow a USB battery pack to open should the batteries die. there is also the key-way as a backup method. I hope this review helps as I have tried to place as much information as I could into it. I chose this for the cost, the reviews, the physical key back-up and the NO APP. I run a smart home but will not be adding home security, lock release to it functions. Note: you cannot delete a registered fingerprint unless you do a full reset and start new.

These are sturdy, and fit well with any modern home design. The locking mechanism is consistent and easy to use, and it’s a great price relative to comparable models. The knob is heavier than a standard knob, and seems well constructed. Had it for a year now, and it’s held up perfectly.

No tenemos idea de cómo funciona, ya se instaló se siguieron todos los pasos y no prende

J'ai acheté cette poignée une première fois pour mettre sur notre porte de chambre. Puis on a tellement aimé qu'on en a acheter un seconde pour la porte d'entrée de notre appartement. Elle est facile a installer. Il est également simple de créer un administrateur ainsi que d'autre utilisateur (peu créer jusqu'à 50 utilisateur ) . Elle se verrouille automatiquement quand la porte est fermée. Bien qu'elle s'ouvre avec l'empreinte,il y a également une serrure régulière pour ouvrir la porte au besoin . Fonctionne a batterie. Je garde quand même un double de la clé dans mon sac à main histoire de ne pas me faire prendre a arriver a la maison alors que les batterie de la poignée sont morte. Elle a un mode passage qui fait en sorte qu'elle ne se verrouille plus si la porte est fermé ce qui permet de faire des aller retour sans avoir a rescanner son empreinte a chaque fois. Faut tout simplement pas oublier de la remettre en mode normal pour qu'elle se verrouille a nouveau. Un belle ajout à notre petit appartement intelligent ☺️
