WiFi Smart Locks for Front Door: Hornbill Keyless Entry Door Lock with Handle, Fingerprint Keypad Deadbolt Front Door Lock Set, Electronic Biometric Digital Lock, App Remote Control, Oil Rubbed Bronze

Awesome lock.
This is an awesome door lock I am able to control the lock and the codes from my phone. I am able to set a schedule for my cleaning lady for the days she comes and clean the house, I am able to schedule the code for her, I get notification who unlocked the door when I am not home.

Good Product
The lock was very easy to install and everything worked as expected. I especially like the fact that it has multiple channels for unlocking including fingerprints and a FOB. For the gateway, I would have preferred if it plugged directly into an electrical outlet instead of charger connected via a wire. Has a polished look from the outside also. Very good overall product, and I highly recommend it.

Solidly built with a ton of features
We were installing this to replace the existing handle and lock on our door. Because of this, we luckily did not have to drill any extra holes or make extensive modifications. I did have to expand the recess in our door jam a little bit, but more on that later. The kit includes templates for new installation which, even though we did not need them, I really appreciate.The hardware installation went more or less as planned since the design is pretty much identical to every other handle and deadbolt set out there. What I mean by that is the latch and deadbolt configuration utilizes a rotating shaft in the center with two threaded cylinders on either side for cinching the interior and exterior halves together tightly against the door. A power cord is then fed through the door under the mechanism for connection to the interior unit which houses the batteries.In regards to the hole in the door jam that receives the dead bolt, I made one necessary and two voluntary modifications. The plastic insert for the bolt hole was a bit larger than our old one so I had to chisel it out a bit. I also swapped out the included screws with longer 3.5” as well as a larger 4-screw plate. All of these upgrades help to make brute force intrusion much less likely.The app can be found on the App Store and controls every aspect of the lock except for the old school manual key operation. One note here is that you are required to setup an account to use the app, and you need the app to use the lock. This always bothers me when I have to give out my email just to use something. Also, somehow it knows if you use a temporary email.The first impressive thing about this lock is the sheer number of different options for unlocking. This list includes the app itself, fingerprints, passcode, key fob/card, regular door key, and something called an E key, which is used by sending permission to another person with the app. Each method is very intuitive for programming though. The app has an excellent menu system that guides you through the process for each set up.Combined with the voice guidance from the lock itself. It was simple to get everyone’s fingerprints programmed in. One thing to note for the fingerprint scanner is that, once registered, the fingerprint is recognized at virtually all angles as long as you use the same part of the pad on your fingertip that you registered. We decided to add the thumb and index finger of everyone who lives in the household for versatility. Something worth mentioning about the fingerprint scanner is that you have to wait several seconds before attempts. Otherwise, the lock will say “unlocked“ but won’t be. That is actually pretty annoying. In my opinion, if it is not successful, it should give the “operation failed“ message like when it doesn’t work. That would only make sense.We mostly used a numeric code on our previous lock, so I assumed that would probably be our preferred method on this one, but it probably won’t. One thing to note with the passcode option that takes some getting used to, is that you have to “wake up“ the lock pad before you start typing the code. In other words, you have to touch the pad until it lights up then start entering the code which beeps after each key. Then you have to hit the # key, which acts as an “Enter“ button. Incidentally, this same # key is used to lock the door manually with a long press.Speaking of locking, there are a couple of automatic options. First, you can use “auto-lock“ mode in which you set a specific time delay for the lock to re-engage after you have unlocked it. For this feature, you can choose one of their presets from 5-60 seconds or enter a custom time (in seconds). Then, the other option is the “passage mode“ which allows you to set the locking for time of day.The four AA batteries, theoretically last about six months. Something that I discovered, however, is that sometimes, the batteries can reach a point where they do not have enough power to operate the lock, but apparently aren’t low enough to register as “low battery“. This is very frustrating since the only option at that point is to use the manual key or throw the bolt from the inside.The lock did include a “gateway“ device that allows for smart home integration. We decided not to use this function because we don’t like having our lock connected to the Internet. We may decide to use this option later on a closed network, smart home system, which is not Internet connected.Even considering all of these features and options, I still did not cover them all. In conclusion, this is a great lock with an absolute ton of functionality.
