I swapped out a traditional 4 digit combo lock for this and I love it . I can see the keypad and even go by feel and not even look to see to open it. Works very well.

I bought this for a steel cabinet. They are really expecting this to be used in wood. The cam is totally wrong. I spoke with the company but all the cams available are not the correct dimensions.

I screwed on a wood block and hope to replace this with an aluminum block. Not ideal but I wanted an electronic lock and this one works

Update 12/14/16: I contacted customer service about the issue and they responded within 5 minutes. Problem is not solved yet because I'm still waiting for the replacement item, but I'm bumping up the review for. 3 stars to 4 in the meantime because of their good customer service.

12/12/16: I want to give this product 5 stars so badly but there is one critical error on the unit I received, and that is I can't for the life of me get the battery out. It's not that I don't have access to the battery, it's that the battery fits so snugly that it won't come out. There is not any place on the plastic that lets you wedge the battery out.

I've been testing the lock non stop just because I was so excited about how cool it was. I read 10 year battery life in the description and foolishly thought I could get ten years of battery life. While I was using it, I found that the device was malfunctioning, only to realize it was just low batteries.

Years is a terrible way to measure the way an electronic device is measured for its battery life. The product description should really rate the battery longevity based on the number of times you can unlock the device. Based on my use since I've received the product, I would say it lasts around 100 unlocks which is actually pretty good considering the size of the battery, and better than pretty much every other product out there. The batteries are also cheap on amazon, so that is a major plus for this product. (If you can even change the battery)

The two gripes I have with this product is how the information surrounding the batteries set misleading expectations, secondly how the unit I received has a battery that is impossible to replace.

I will gladly take the time to re-rate the product at 5 stars and give the most glowing review if the company can get a lock to me that lets me replace the battery. I'm returning the currently one I have through amazon, and hopefully I'll get a one with an interchangeable battery and I can give this product the 5 stars it deserves.

well made, easy to read and easy to operate and easy to install in a variety of applications.

Used this on our medicine/cleaning product cabinet to keep out kiddos. We put this on one door and then Rok Hardware Extra Heavy Duty Elbow Latch Cabinet Door / Window Catch - Nickel Finish with Screws on the other door (which you open from the inside once the other side is opened). I love that this is compact and looks somewhat elegant (it doesn't look too out of place with the other cabinet hardware). It feels really high quality, I guess time will tell, but it certainly feels like it will last.

It doesn't come with a stop to lock against, I assume because it is designed to have a notch in the cabinet. I used a screw with a couple of washers under it to make a stop.
