Veise RZ07 Smart Lock, Fingerprint Door Lock, 7-in-1 Keyless Entry with App Control, Electronic Touchscreen Keypad Deadbolt, Biometric Smart Locks for Front Door, Satin Nickel

I purchased this to change the locks on our new home after closing, and installed it on June 30th.The installation was super simple - the instructions were clear, the included template was very helpful, and there were also video guides available as well if needed (although I didn't need to use them).While the container/shell is made from a hard plastic, all of the moving parts and mechanisms are made of metal and are solid and durable. The lock feels extremely secure and reliable.The companion app that comes along with the lock is very well made, and while there are some weird translation issues (which is normal for products like these), everything works exactly as expected with no hiccups or bugs. There are TONS of features available - the lock is super customizable and everything can be managed from the app easily. New admins can be added very easily as well.In particular, I like that I can generate a new code on the door and set it to expire whenever, thus eliminating the need for hidden keys or anything like that. Whenever a handyman or friend/family member need to come by and we aren't here, I can just make them a new code and set it to expire the next day and never have to worry about them getting back into the front door again.I also really like that there's an auto-lock option - it's a great way to have peace of mind that the front door is always locked. You can set it to 5/10/15/30 seconds, or choose "custom" and set it to whatever timeframe you want (in seconds). For us, we have a 10 minute auto-lock set, which means that even if we forget after going in and out over and over again (moving and whatnot), we know that the door will always be locked after ten minutes.The fingerprint setup is a breeze, the RFID reader works reliably, everything is great - if I had to point out any one con, it would be with the keypad screen - it's kind of a pain to reliably wake up sometimes, and lags a bit when coming on. But that's the only real downside we have been able to find with it. Other than that, this lock is awesome, feature rich, reliable and well built. Worth the money.PS: Also, Veise's customer service is awesome. When I first got the lock, I realized that I only got 1 RFID scanner instead of 2, and after reaching out to them, they explained that other RFID cards can be used with the lock, and then refunded me back 30% of the total cost to cover the cost of purchasing new ones separately. All of this happened within 12 hours of me reaching out the first time. Nice job, Veise! :)

The prior lock was name-brand and expensive, which started having random issues 6 months after purchase, and after a year it failed completely. Plus, it ate a lot of 9v batteries.This lock looked like the best replacement and had a large sale discount of 40% plus a $30 coupon, so we bought two on the same order. We did pay for the locks; we did not get it as a free item to review.It was exactly as it said, and the replacement was reasonably easy. But it did take me 3 hours due to the prior lock having been installed very poorly (a lot of damage to the door and frame), so I repaired that as best possible. Also, the inside and outside locks have a rubber insulator that comes off easily (and back on), which can be used as a guide to predrilling the holes. That's what I did, and it made it easy to be accurate.This lock works butter smooth and it has so many options for opening it.If you have multiple locks then you can set up the first one and there is an option to transfer the settings (the people with access) to the second lock through the app.The app uses Bluetooth, but they push the wifi option fairly heavily. We thought we had to buy the wifi to get phone connectivity, but decided to see if we needed the wifi box. if you are within about 6 feet of the door the Bluetooth option works fine.The app itself is ok, lots of setup options. But when there is an error (I tried to change the temporary code of a new person) and it fails with a simple "Failed" message. I tried again and then it failed with a more helpful message saying that I had to use the code once before changing it. Why can't it say that on the app at the time? There is little help nor description on the app itself about what an option does, and that is mostly fine but could be more helpful.What we liked most in the app was that the battery state is displayed, so no more guessing (the previous locks would work, until they didn't).The worst part of the lock is that the pictures on Amazon show a clear keypad, but it is covered in a darkly tinted glass. It looks nice, but we live in Texas and it is bright and sunny. We have a hard time seeing if the keypad is on, let alone the digits. Two of the people who posted videos showed that, but it is worse for us in the sun. The app issues are fairly minor since we mostly use the key-tags to open the doors.Overall, we are delighted and feel like we have great value compared to the name-brand locks we had.
