Meets requirements With slight modifications

Purchased to protect a hidden compartment in my gun/ammo box. I don't want to change the batteries every six months because to get to the compartment you have to drain the cabinet. I want to run it on USB power. When I first plugged in the USB port, the lock wouldn't turn on. After experimenting with this, I found that the pin/plug goes in just a little further to make proper contact. Solved with thin cardboard (the lid is from another Revain box). This little spacer creates the perfectโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Not an assault rifle

Works Great - Locks

I was skeptical about finding an RFID lock for such a low price but it works great. I liked the fact that it has two locking positions, both vertical and horizontal. This allows you to install it in different ways. I used this set of sliding doors that hide a secret compartment. Installed not long ago, so I can't comment on durability. The instructions were a bit confusing, but not that bad. If you can't access the back after installation, you should install the control key first, as you'llโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Free for Educational Purposes
Cons
  • Band

Works great, quick and easy installation

The lock works very well, beeps when trying to break into the cabinet with an unauthorized device and opens immediately when using an authorized device. Installation is pretty easy once you have the instructions. The installation was a bit strange at first, but I figured it out pretty quickly. So I installed 1 key card and the device in my closet in less than 30 minutes. There is a downfall, if you lose your key you will be locked out forever and therefore have no way of logging in. I adviseโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • There are problems

Think twice about the cabinet hardware

I just had to give up and return this lock for my own sake. This was after I put in new batteries, carefully following the instructions to create the keys, the moment I closed it to lock it never opened again until I pried open my 10 year old dresser. Needless to say, I'm not a happy backpacker. What I didn't mention was that it took me over 5 hours to take the box apart, search endlessly for videos on YouTube, and try every configuration to power this thing up. It is NOT easy to install. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Update available

A near perfect budget lock that will suit most needs.

First of all I love this product. I was looking for a closet with a key and lock so the kids wouldn't play with my stuff. After some research I came across this product and ordered it. I have to say that it really works as advertised and then some. I installed this in a box and it worked beautifully. It is strong enough to withstand sudden and violent burglary attempts by children. While I mentioned durability, the included screws will eventually fail over time as they are really small andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Will be added later

Hidden within sight of my gun

Hidden within sight of my gun. Great design but installation is a headache for the novice handyman and homeowner. The templates are useless as I could have just used the hole drilling equipment but still used the cardboard templates. I struggled to align both the locking mechanism and the latch so that it would close without wearing down the metal parts between the spring-loaded pins. Used old wood from some of the cabinets I kept, which eventually came in handy as my cabinet isn't flush withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • unreliable
