hi all,

considering to buy a digital door lock as so troublesome with many keys and carrying barang and managing baby etc. at least 1 door less to cari kunci and open.

any recommendations? i saw got quite a few brands out there with the most common being Samsung. hoping to get one around RM600-800 only though. a bit lower budget, but as long as it works. no need the super canggih high end super tough etc one. if pencuri wanna masuk, i dont think this normal lock can stop them anyhow .. thanks.

*park*

What happens when the power supply to the door is lost ? i.e. during a blackout

door lock to my knowledge is battery operated. so no link to the power supply. and apparently battery can last like 1-2 years depending on usage and got like low battery alarm thing.

I think they are not expensive really. I think in the US the price is about 100~200. Maybe got people sell in Lelong imported from China. It is about your price and even use thumb print, perhaps. The Samsung I remember was about RM2000.

I would recommend not using number combination because the code button will wear off and can be easily guessed.

Another option is to use door knob follow standard. You can buy key which is registered type. This key cannot be duplicated because it is not sold. Then the knob you can change and use the same key for door. This way you carry only one key. How ever, each key hole is around RM300 also

you want convenience have to go all the way and install one for your grill, one for your main door.

dont tell me, you want to fish out your keys to open your grills etc then use electronic lock for main door

They normally use battery. If the battery drained out, you can temporarily hold a 9V battery to a contact point externally usually beneath the knob

Anyway, do not leave any spare key in your house. Once a thief enter the house, they can steal everything one they have the key to the main door and grill. It will be harder for the thief to tkae your dinner table through the roof

my doors all can be lock and unlock from the inside. that means no need keys also can open from the inside

i think the number or key card both ok. i thought the number ones mostly using touchpad and not physical number? the worry abotu the lelong ones are warranty. would prefer to shop at proper store, but will consider it if can get from US so cheap maybe will daigou it from amazon.

well for the grill wont lock all the time, i live in apartment so wont be too obvious i go in and out of the place. just close the gate. sometimes go to the pool, or throw rubbish or just go out sekejap then dont need to lock. but main thing im interested is the autolock that most of them have. then just masuk and dont need to put down everyhting then go back and lock the door. forgot to lock the door several times already barang + crazy son running around hahaha.

The thief can easily enter the house through roof which is not even nailed mostly. People normally put grill on the ceiling access door but the ceiling itself be easily break.

So your house is not secure in that sense..... and my house too .... Yes, the main door need no key from inside and I don't even have grill on main door.

i also wanna get a digital lock in case my keys kena curi, then at least they cannot simply just walk into my place and unlock the door. cant find the news article but like the lady got her bag snatched and then the robber just went to her house and robbed them. just walk in and used the keys. so easy. i guess address is from IC or letters or something.

i dont have grills myself. my roof is concrete slab, dont think anyone can get thru that

all out of your budget TS

am considering this one.

Samsung SHS-2920 only RM438 on Lazada. Will see if normal shop got stock or not. these ones from overseas all dont got warranty

getting is 1 issue...how about the installation of the lock...is it DIY?

Make sure you check the requirement 1st before u buy. For example minimum thickness of your door . Most models require thickness of 40mm above And also your hole of the current door if u r using old one .

I plan to get Schlage Connect Camelot Touchscreen Deadbolt w/ Built-In Alarm, it is z-wave digital lock, if you have home automatio, it can automatically unlock when a person reach home. Schlage is a well known lock in USA, the lock meets ANSI Grade 1 Highest Residential Security.

Another one that also pretty good is Gateman F10, it has fingerprint unlock which is pretty useful too

I have a deadbolt installed on the inside for when I am in because my house has no grills. This tech is for convenience not security.
