Review on πŸ”’ Ardwolf A50 Left-Handle Fingerprint Door Lock – Keyless Entry Biometric Door-Locks with Digital Keypad & Key for Homes, Hotels, and Interiors, Exterior Front Door – Auto-Lock Feature by Chris Moody

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Convenient, durable and improved design

I used Ardwolf (old model A20) for 5 years and chose it again because fingerprint unlocking is convenient and A50 is the only lock. can be found that can close both holes on the door. So far I'm impressed with the build quality and the improvement over the old model. Highlight: * Very easy installation: No drilling required if only the latch and deadbolt were previously installed on the door. It is important, having a padlock with a plate large enough to cover both openings. No need to search for another lock in the same color.* Rugged design: Only two wires need to be connected at the back (battery operated) since all the controller chips are on the front (the old model had more than 10 wires ).* Very easy to use A: With the text menu on the OLED screen, I don't even need to read the manual to perform common tasks like adding/removing users. Big upgrade over the old model which only had two digit LEDs on the back. * Waterproof: Very thoughtful to add a rubber gasket between the faceplate and the door. * No WiFi, no Bluetooth: Yes, that's a highlight for me. Lock isn't a phone Fewer wireless connections mean a smaller attack surface and longer battery life. I've never needed a remote lock/unlock as I can easily add a temporary passcode in advance to share with guests. With convenient fingerprint unlocking,
