HOPPE87128205 Arrone AR/D-195MC Digital Push Button Door Key Pad Lock - Silver

We have put this look on our back gate and it works greatMay need to watch a YouTube video to help with the installation process but it's not to difficult to understand. Using the guide was definitely a big help to understand where the wholes needed to go. Very secure and sturdy and loved the sence of security this product gives us. Definitely recommend

I bought this as an additional security measure for my side gate but also because I was fed up having to reach over the top of the gate to remove the bolt!Positive:- Solid, well-made, precision engineering- Spare screw for joining inside and outside plates provided because they know someone is going to cut one of them to the wrong length and regret it!- Two additional 'code pins' provided so that you can extend the combination from the preset 5 digits to seven.- Pincer tool provided for removal and replacement of 'code pins'.- Clear instructions (photocopy and use the templates!).Negative:- Combination cannot use a digit twice, e.g., you could not use 2264 because the 2 can only be used once. Limits choice but the simple answer is to increase the number of digits in your combination.- None others that I can think of. Others have talked about this item being not suitable for external doors. I suspect they may have bought an internal one by mistake.Neutral:- Read the instructions very carefully, especially if you have to change the preset features. For example, the lock supplied came preset for a right-hinged opening. I had to alter the settings internally (instructions were clear) to suit my left-hinged door.- Be very careful when changing the combination lock code. The internal 'code pins' need to be handled carefully and placed very precisely. Relatively easy if you read the instructions.

I've fitted one of these and just ordered another. When fitted the lock is excellent. Easy operation and feels very solid secure. The only reason for not 5 star is the instruction are not always 100 per cent clear, but didn't cause any problems during fitting and operation. Considering a third for another door.The fitting went fine and I'm very pleased with how snug the lock is and how solid the operation is.I note on the new lock I have just ordered, a sticker highlights part of the process for changing the code (you have to press the C button whilst changing the "keys") I understand it is easy to damage the lock if you do not follow this step. If you can't pull the "keys" out with the supplied tweezers, it might be a faulty unit (I had one, but swiftly replaced).

I wanted a lock for my boiler room, which also doubles up as my server room. As the room houses expensive equipment, I thought it wise to add a little protection in the form of a lock. Originally, I was going to put in a key-operated lock, whether it be a mortice or a deadbolt, but the only drawback was that I'd always have to have a key with me to open/close the lock, so after a little searching for alternatives I discovered this little gem!Granted, it may not be the cheapest of locks, or the easiest set of instructions to decipher, but the convenience of securing a room without having a separate key, as well as the build quality, is well worth it in my opinion.What I did not want is for the lock to replace my existing door handle, so after asking a few questions on Amazon, I decided to install the lock above the existing door handle, about half way up.The lock is well built and sturdy, and the instructions include a drilling template, which makes installation a lot easier. There's about six 10mm holes to drill in total - 2 for the fixing bolts, and 4 along the bottom in a row to help clear a slot for the spindles.Never having previously installed a lock before, nor having amazing DIY skills, I took a shot of installing this myself, and it's really not as hard as you might think! Unboxing the item and finding all of the different parts to install this lock was the most daunting task, especially to the unexperienced, but once you've made sense of where everything goes and what certain bits are for, it's all very straight forward. Be aware that there are fixing bolts and spindles that manually need cutting down to size, depending on the thickness of your door, so you may need some extra cutting tools, such as a saw, to help accomplish this.In conclusion, it's a great mechanical lock and I'm very happy as to the protection it offers, the build quality, and how it looks and feels on my door.

Ok I should of taken pics, but imagine modern home with the white thin doors with Batton inside, and decorative recessed panelling. All modern homes have them. Anyway, remove just one handle, the side you want the lock buttons. Your original will have a bar between the two handles. The lock has a thinner flat bar between the two. Options are, grind down the end so it is flat / same as supplied bar, or pack out square hole in existing lock to accept the new flat bar actuator. I fitted the bar diagonally into square lock hole, slid two triangle shaped odds and sods I had, added bicarb and a drop of superglue. The bicarb turns to concrete. Once positive the thin supplied actuator is tightly held where the square bar once was, fit the lock (check code works first). I used 3M double sided, twisted the actuator rod 45 degrees so the handle sat true, then pushed it squarely onto the door. Feels welded on, works perfect, and the other side has original normal handle, so you can't get locked in (and if door lock failed in future, you can peel off as STUCK) BUT ONLY YOU KNOW ITS STUCK. To anyone else it feels and looks bolted tight. Great lock. Wish I took install pics!!
