Review on πŸ”’ Signstek Digital Touchscreen Keypad Security Entry Door Lock with Hidden Mechanical Key, Matte Black - Ideal for Left or Right Door Handle by Donotello Figueroa

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Inexpensive Regular Electronic Lock

I had to replace a few exterior locks. However, I needed something weatherproof. According to the description it was so I bought two. The touchpad requires the user to touch the pad, enter a code, and then press the pound key. If you are in a hurry, it is inconvenient. However, this removes the burden of having to use multiple keys on a keychain. Installation was easy but the fit was very tight making it difficult to twist parts. A small cotter pin secures the square bar. It uses 4 AA batteries which are included with the lock. The handle must be removed to use the key. Not exactly ideal or practical. It doesn't lock from the inside with a handle. It will be locked automatically. The programming was confusing and I wasn't happy with the process. Luckily, you can perform a factory reset using the reset button. It has no indicator lights or an audible signal to let the user know if the programming has been accepted. The sensitivity of the touchscreen is average. The outer case is made of beautifully polished metal. Where the budget cuts is on the flimsy plastic cover and mounting plate/screws. For a door I only use 4-5 times a year it will be fine. But I expected more.

Pros
  • Tamper Resistant Password: Users can create any random numbers before or after the correct password (Random Numbers + Correct Numbers + Random Numbers), so you don't have to worry about being watched around when you enter the password.
Cons
  • No instructions
