Great smart lock!

This is the fifth smart lock I own and the second Ardwolf. I have a couple of branded smart locks that I used a few years ago. Once you get used to using smart locks and the keyless locking system, it will be difficult to switch back to a regular key lock. You really get used to not having to carry your keys around anymore. I've gradually upgraded the locks on my front door, basement doors, and a few other places. I was so impressed with my first Ardwolf castle that I wanted a second one. The functions of keyless locks and smart locks are very different, so take a close look at the features of this lock to determine if it's right for you. This lock does not support Bluetooth or WiFi; it's ok for me as I don't mind programming codes or fingerprints. They sell a version of this as WiFi Skills. Also, the orientation of the handle cannot be changed. So if you need a correct grip, you need to order the correct grip version. I installed this keyless lock on a side door in my garage. It is made of stainless steel and is waterproof to a certain extent, so it can be placed in a place where moisture can sometimes penetrate. but I do not recommend spraying it. Installation and programming are easy. It fits into the existing door lock hole. This Ardwolf Smart Lock has many functions. I mostly use keyless entry because I don't have to worry about my house keys. You can set permanent and temporary passwords (up to 200 in total). The fingerprint scanner is fast and accurate. For people who have to remember too many numbers, you can set up a fingerprint reader. And finally there are the good old physical buttons, if you really want to stay old-fashioned; The key slot is well hidden at the front. It has a "double code" feature that requires two different access codes to be entered within a short period of time. This can be useful in a higher security environment where the integrity of two people is required to open the door. Of course, this means two people are required, each with their own code. When the batteries are getting low, you will be reminded with a red light and an alarm. In the event of a power failure, you can temporarily open the lock using the USB cable. A very good and reliable lock for the price. This type of lock is not only suitable for your home, but also for vacation rentals, AirBNB, etc. In the event of a power failure, you can temporarily open the lock using the USB cable.
