eLinkSmart Fingerprint Padlock with Key Backup, Heavy Duty Weatherproof Bluetooth Biometric Keyless Electronic Digital Smart Pad Lock for Gate Outdoor Fence Gym Locker Pool Shed Storage

In a layered security plan, I've found this lock to be an excellent initial phase. It is rather big and bulky, enough to slow down an attempt. I was able to set up several fingerprints in the app easily, and it's reassuring to have the back up metal keys. I haven't needed to recharge it yet and hope I won't have to do so very often thanks to the eco-sleep feature it has. The heft inspires confidence, though a big bolt cutter will get through almost any of these locks, so this should be an initial layer only and not the entire plan. Because it is black and has a lithium battery, I wouldn't use this anywhere that gets direct sun, I'm sure that will degrade the battery quickly. But for things like quick gym lock or smaller spaces, I think this is so convenient to use every day. It does seem like people were expecting remote unlock, without realizing that that those kinds of features need wifi or cellular. I bought this knowing its bluetooth limitations, and am totally satisfied with how it performs.

Heavy duty lock, looks solid and sleek. Set up was simple and includes back up key if battery goes out. Will be buying more.

This is a very neat padlock and is easy to access with the finger print scanner. The process of setting up the device was simple. It involves installing a simple app to set up the biometrics. I believe it allows for 100 fingerprints. I entered several digits because we needed something to secure an emergency kit that I recently put together after being hit by a hurricane and losing power for a long time. We had everything scattered and disorganized. This lock was exactly what I needed to quickly get to the kit without everyone in my home raiding the supplies. The backup keys are nice to have and the lock seems fully trustworthy, It works on Bluetooth and not wifi. Furthermore, the lock location and history can be found on the app. The idea of using fingerprint recognition was a little intimidating until I started to see how it can enhance my life and make things easier.

My first suggestion would be for the developer to get a professional writer that speaks proper English and rewrite the instructions clearly. Right now the instructions are total garbage and incomprehensible.The fingerprints, key and App unlock functions works well. HOWEVER my biggest issue is that after you unlock the lock with the App, you have to touch the lock in order to connect it again to Bluetooth. That means you cannot unlock the lock remotely again unless you touch the sensor first to connect the lock back to the Bluetooth. This makes the lock useless to use the remote functionality the next time as you have to touch the lock each time to “wake it up” to connect it again to Bluetooth so you can unlock it remotely again.In other words you have to physically touch the lock to reconnect it to the app and Bluetooth each time you use it remotely else you can’t use the remote function again until you touch it so it can reconnect to the Bluetooth. This makes no sense to me to be able to use the lock remotely the next time. Why is this called remote if you have to touch the lock to connect it? Why would you need to unlock it remotely if you have to touch it.I tried the FAST CONNECT button as well but I still need to get close to the lock for it to work. I now see that the lock needs a Bluetooth device close by to work as opposed to using WIFI which would make it work no matter what.(If you read the product descriptions it’s actually listed in the description that this is how it works. Mr. Seller/Developer please respond if I am wrong or explain how I could use the App remotely a second time if I’m not close by to touch the lock).I also thought I could remotely lock it but that’s not possible. Oh well not a big deal because the App shows the status of the lock as open or closed. Thats fine!So the lock did not serve my purpose. I wanted a lock that I could unlock at a distance but unfortunately this is not it. However, I can see how this would work for others, its just not for me.I am returning this lock and I CAN’T RECOMMEND buying this.

This fingerprint lock is awesome! No more fumbling with keys or combos. Just press your finger and boom, it opens. Setup was quick, and the backup key is a nice bonus just in case.It’s heavy duty and handles rain and weather no problem — been using it outside on my gate for weeks with zero issues. Feels really tough, not like some cheap lock.

This item works great. All the unlock methods work perfectly: fingerprint, app, and key. Unfortunately I had to return it because it has an unusually thick shackle that would not fit through the loops on my locker. The shackle is 0.32" which is more than 8mm. Way bigger than the standard locker loop.

This fingerprint lock is absolutely a game changer! I use this lock every single day to access my shed and it saves me so much time. Unlike, a time consuming combination lock or the hassle of carrying a key, this fingerprint lock allows me to walk up and within two seconds be accessing my stuff. It obviously costs more than a basic lock, but you are paying for a luxury that makes your life easier and to me it’s worth paying for the convenience. Product is made from quality materials and the fingerprint function easy detects an authorized fingerprint.

Nice lock
