Installed the exact same handle on my bedroom door. Been using this for close to 16 months now and my number 7 on the keypad has become unresponsive. I don’t really use the number pad, but noticed this when needing to enter my room one day.
@DIYReid it works, batteries last a long time, just after a year of use (and not using the number pad) I noticed the 7 does not respond to being touched.
Also make sure your door is something like a Brosco slab door or at least a solid core door. If it's a hollow core door they'll be able to smash through it with very little effort.
Thank you so much I got one important question how do i lock the door from inside ? Is there any way i can keep the children not to go out easily , i couldn’t find the way to lock it from inside
Is there a doorbell function on this, I got one branded Xspecial from Amazon and every so often when I put my hand on it to open or close a doorbell goes of
Hai i just bought this..ive installed the handle but the door still slides open when i push it…do i have to change the hinges/plate that comes with it as well?Cause i didnt changed to the one it came with…is that why??
@kylegoode3838 press the button on the back it changes it from unlocked to locked. When it’s locked it and you unlock it it’ll auto lock if it’s turned on.
@@DIYReidI bought off mywhome. It doesn’t have the Bluetooth device and I don’t know how to turn the door handle on. It has the Tuya smart app instead- same model as the one in video

Are the batteries dead?
@@DIYReid no, just replaced them.
@twocornell are they in the right way?

@twocornell oh ok. So the thumb print works?
Thankyou for this very short and useful video. My 7 year old used this to install the door knob 😊
Glad it could help.
Can he come install mine? 😂
your handle is opening on the left side can i install it to open on the right side? (basically doing 180 turn)
would this be a good lock for house share? is it easily reprogrammable?
شكرا لقد استفدة كثيراً
I have locks for office suites how do you turn off auto lock?

These are for interior doors. If you have an issue big enough for someone that may bust the door I think you have bigger problems.

There is a button on the back.
Great video. Can this be used as front door lock? Thank you
I wouldn’t unless you also have a dead bolt.
An amazing video.
Thank you for the kind words.
@@DIYReid Please check your inbox, ,this is Jane. i am waiting for you to test our projector.
Can you replace the battery or is it charging?
Is there a doorbell function on this, I got one branded Xspecial from Amazon and every so often when I put my hand on it to open or close a doorbell goes of
No
I got one but I didn’t come with the Bluetooth gateway? Can I still use? If so how? Do I still just use the batteries with no gateway
^^there is the gateway^^
Does the front knob turn after the complete install? My back knob turns immediately
I’m not sure what you mean? Does the handle turn? Yes.
hello, is it possible to designate a certain member of the household that he can only open daytime and night-time he cant access the doorknob ..thanks
Yes, you can schedule access but only between dates. I don't see where at night time you can revoke access.
Is there voice activation?
Hi, what its the name of the app for iphone? Thanks
Hai i just bought this..ive installed the handle but the door still slides open when i push it…do i have to change the hinges/plate that comes with it as well?Cause i didnt changed to the one it came with…is that why??
It might help. It’s not going into the plate is why it opens.
Didn't see in video but how do you lock it on the outside?
U can’t do it outside
What to load ?
how long does the battery last with daily use?
I use it daily since I did the video. Still on same batteries.
Links not working, why?
cool
Love to buy this lock, however, I can't find it with your links on this page. If you would like to send me a link so you get the credit.
It looks like it’s gone from their website. Maybe they discontinued it
Can I still use the door handle without a password/fingerprint , I just want to use it as a door handle
Yes
Why does it mean when the handle isn't moving when you up the door handle one
Like not moving at all?
What do you do if the battery dies?
There is a key and you can also plug in a USB power bank to power it temporarily.
Did you add the app name to look up?
I can’t remember off the top of my head but there is a AR code in the instructions for the app.
Is there a no password feature?
Yes.
What should I do if the battery is dead, it won’t charge and I’m locked out?? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Batteries are not chargeable. Plug in a battery pack to the usb port to get in and change the batteries.
It isn’t even opening with power bank or emergency key , I am locked out
What's better? This or the Geek one?
This one because it has a passcode on the outside and phone app
@@DIYReid oh I thought the other one had an app as well? Does this one with the passcode have the secret key hole?
It does have a key.
@vc6218 Don't buy the Geek one I'm returning mine for a refund because the app won't communicate with the doorknob.
Domes it make a beeping noise every 10 seconds I go one and make a beep every 10 to 15 minutes
Is it locked but door is open?
Like the the door will be closed and it just keep beeping the app barely works that y I wanting to buy a new one
Does it have batteries?
Yes
can i have one
Can you plz send me the manual for this lock or tell me how to factory reset it
It will not let me set up my finger print
Nahh. You got scammed. But forreal, does everything else work?
My door must be too thin the knob is just poking out that metal piece is too long..
How thick is it
What’s the name of the app
Smart Life
I can’t even find the app
Smart life
Can you turn off auto lock?
Yes.
Mine sometimes don't auto lock any ideas
@kylegoode3838 press the button on the back it changes it from unlocked to locked. When it’s locked it and you unlock it it’ll auto lock if it’s turned on.

@@DIYReidI bought off mywhome. It doesn’t have the Bluetooth device and I don’t know how to turn the door handle on. It has the Tuya smart app instead- same model as the one in video
No go for me. I don’t want to give access to my wifi network to some Chinese (or any) company.
