I cant help but to comment that you are a rare gem honest seller! I went to so many digital lock stores and they told me all brands are the same, ask about each brand problems, they say they have never face problems with digital locks before (which is untrue). Thank you for this sharing so that I can purchase the right kind of lock, if you were in my country i'll definitely buy from you.
Thank you for your very detailed and honest information on many brands. I feel that the Samsung push door lock is worth a try after viewing this video. I’ll look at the Schlage too.
this guy is the real boss of digital lock. i would buy from him (if i liven singapore? malaysia?), looks like fantastic aftermarket customer service and good personality. thanks!
Thank you Mr. Francis..If ever I will encounter any problem I will consult you. BTW I did not not get the Schlage 6800 becuase they dont have installer. My first choice is schlage. Thank you so much. Stay safe and healthy!
Hi. Hands down ur video has been the most comprehensive and insightful. Thank you so much. 1. May I know what is the model you were referring to ? ( the “full alloy” Samsung model push pull model that has a full revision ? 2. And just want to know ur opinion of Gateman WF-20 ?
Very honest & straightforward video! After watching your video and reading the comments. I chose Philip 9300 over Samsung 708. Mainly is because of the quality, Samsung back cover uses plastic. Hoping for videos on digital door viewer :)
thank you :) really appreciate it. That is a good choice. I really liked the Samsung features. It is cool and nice design too. I am waiting for them to make a full metal digital lock!
Thank you so much for the video. Yale and Samsung brands have been the top choices for most of our customers and most of them have positive experience with them.

Hi informative and compact video. Just hope that you did a more thorough reviews of each model. Question, what about Xiaomi aqara door lock? Any experience with them?
Xiaomi we installed few. Nice feature and body. But wiring and the connector used is different from other lock, feels weaker. Suitable for security door (because hollow inside and plenty space for the wire. For solid wooden door, we want to be careful a bit (cannot repair, no spare part remember) So if security door, yes recommended. Wooden door, we cannot give any suggestion as we do not have it long enough yet. Also, Aqara is not xiaomi. Just that it can use xiaomi app. Aqara is a china brand not related to xiaomi.
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing all the information and your experiences. Sorry you had to help your customers during the wee hours of the night. Cheers 😊👍🏻

Thanks Francis for such good honest video for us... i am from SG living in HDB and was recommended with Yale YDR50GA for my metal gate lock and YDM7116A MB for my wooden main door. Are these good with not much issues/problems?
Hey, very good reviews and honesty! Helped cleared up a lot of things. Can I also please get your opinion on which one you would recommend. I don't think I require wifi since I won't let anyone in without me being at home but biometric is needed. Are these ones ok? The bottom two has wifi, which maybe overkill but just thought I consider it as well. Samsung DR 900 vs Philips Alpha Samsung DR 708 vs Philips 9200 or 9300 (I read from the comments that you recommended the 9300 over 708 but the 708 seems to be cheaper than the 9300 by RM700. Is it worth that additional?) If there is cheaper but good ones at RM2k and below for a push/pull handle type for condo firedoor, can you please recommend also? Thank you!
708 got 2 version, a small locking version and a strong locking version. I think if differ RM700 should be the small locking version. I definitely do not agree spending above RM2000 for a weak locking system, no matter how advance the digital part is. Push pull below 2K, try for Hafele. But you will get more plastic. And there will be no spare part support. For all the price difference, there are certainly differences. Cheap but good ones, certainly there are some compromise somewhere hidden

Hi, tks for Yr analysis. Between Gateman wv43 and Samsung SHS 1321, which will you recommend for SG HDB flat, especially if I want to install myself? Tks!
Hi hi, actually Philips Alpha performs well. It is recommended! As long as you remain on using alkaline battery then it would be long lasting without problems. Please check with your seller which battery is suitable. Using the wrong battery might cause leakage and affect to your lock motherboard.
Hi Francis, thanks for your very honest and informative video. I’m looking for door and gate lock with biometric function. Which model of Schlage and Philips will you recommend?
We do think (from real-use experience) that for the grille, the back part should also have fingerprint. Both Schlage and Philips don't have it. We actually found out that Epic or Keywe will be the most user friendly for grille
Thank you so much for your video! Do you have any opinion/experience for Lenovo Smart Lock for both gate and wooden main door? Singapore HDB. How about Epic and Solity? To choose 1 from Philips, Solity, Lenovo, Epic, which will you recommend?
thank you for the review., it really help. We plan to use smart door lock for our villas. here , we have hard rain during rainy season.. We need the door lock that can remotely from phone, capable to put outdoor with rain. which one do you suggest?
Hi! For an old couple of early 60, what would you recommend to them? ….. All we expect are reliable both on electronic and hardware with user friendly. Accessing the door with card and keys would be our primary needs. Of course, if other features are included would be great, such as Bluetooth or password. Am I make sense?
I will recommend add on. Maintain your existing, just add a digital on top. Usual time, don't have to lock the ordinary. But night time sleeping and for long vacation, u can have double locking. Samsung, yale or schlage will do. For samsung and yale, don't choose fingerprint will be fine
Thank you so much for your honest and professional reviews! I've bought Philips 5100 digital lock for my grill door and Yale 4109 for wooden door. Philips work completely fine so far but the Yale 4109 has been a nightmare for me and my family since the Day 1. Its fingerprint roller latch couldn't read our finger print all the time, probably 8/10 times are not working so we've been using passwords to enter for months. Now that the seller allowed us to change the lock so they recommended us to take Yale 4109A with latest one-touch finger print scan, do you think that's a wise choice? Other than that, they also recommended us to take Philips 7300 and Samsung 609. We are very happy with our Philips lock so far but my concern is can we have the same brand for both grill and wooden door due to security measure? Can you please advice, thank you in advance! May you have a nice day, Mr Francis.
Hihi. 4109A is an improvement due to the vast complaints of fingerprint reader. But it's still new so we can't gather enough feedback yet. Philips 7300 is okay. There is no problem of using same brand so don't worry. Samsung 609 don't.
@@TheFineLockShop Thanks for your prompt response, appreciated a lot! Will get Philips lock instead. I read some of your old comments here on Philips 7300 about its handle with thumbprint wiring, would Philips Alpha make a better choice than 7300?
Hello, @The Fine Lock Shop: I am fr SG, love your down to earth and honest reviews on locksets. If you are in SG, I sure buy fr you. Exactly what I have been looking for. I am looking for a biometric digital lock for my metal grille gate. Looking for quality and sturdiness as I have 4 sons who can be q rough with things. Need to register 100 fingerprints, with card, pin code, (optional key), if possible, preferably a mobile app that I can control gate lock from other locations via WiFi. thank you for helping!
One lock seller told me - Schlage S-510g gate lock has a technical flaw that i should be aware of - the fingerprint memory will be erased automatically every 2 to 3 weeks. Did u encounter the same? I was originally looking for Schlage brand but can't find anything for gate yet.
Hi Sir, Im looking to get sigital lock, I was about to choose the Yale Luna Pro +, but i saw one of your replies to another user and you suggested Philips Alpha, unfortunately am not sure if this is available where I am (philippines), aside from Alpha, what other philips model you can highly recomend? this is for my house's main wood door. with a standard thinkness appreciate your expert advise.
If youre looking for high end quality and security, definitely would be Philips 9300! It usually comes with a getaway which connect to your wifi and enable you to control from far. You can also control your digital lock using the app

@@mb-17 609 is a push pull while 708 is full auto What it means is, if anything happen to electronic parts, 609 cannot be locked. You have to watch your house all the time until a repair guy come. 708, can still be locked by hand when electronic fails
This lock is good. But st guchi is known for no after sales. So if luck is not on your side, it will be a big headache. (Price cheap though). Can consider. Got ups and downs

又一家假“洋品牌”，凯迪仕智能锁收了多少智商税？
牛刀财经
2022年03月04日 14:41
国内有很多企业在过往的发展中，采用了假“洋品牌”的策略。比如慕思床垫，用一个外国老头的照片做代言，以达到误导消费者其为“外国专家”的效果。
不得不说这种策略很有效，在很长的时间里让国人误以为是外国品牌，而外国品牌在一定程度上等于高质量。
这种现象不是个例，除了名字、代言等，还有企业在宣传上就打出来外国制造的名号，智能锁企业凯迪仕就曾经标榜自己是一家德国企业。
之所以把自己打造成“德国”企业，在于国人对于德国机械工艺有较高的评价。
实际上，凯迪仕是纯本土品牌。
据天眼查显示，凯迪仕是一个注册在深圳的本土品牌，公司在股权和品牌上与德资没有任何关系。

Thanks for sharing your unbiased opinion. I’ve listed the brands you’ve mentioned. What digital lock do you recommend for aluminum doors? Any brand will do, I will be using it for storage room one that is reasonably priced. I prefer a rim lock because my aluminum door already have handles.
Aluminum door, rim type you have to choose yale or philips. Inside have to be vertically
Nice video, which is better Yale YDM7116A or YMF40+?
Thanks!
7116A for sure
Hi. Do you recommend bosch door lock. Bosch ID30 in particular
ID30 we hv ever encountered once fingerprint reader defect. But only once. Quality wise we open it and install it, i think it's well built.
Thanks for your video! I'll be getting a Philips 9300 for my front door but was wondering if you can recommend a weather proof digital lock for my back door? It gets wet from rain sometimes when it's extra windy..
Just 9300. But if say for back door you don't want such high budget get same brand but 5100 small lock.
Hi...i would like u to give feedback on abrain A15s door lock in term of reliability and maintenance wise
Abrain 15s is Semi-auto. Is a bit different from other brand. But build quality is there. Feels heavy and long lasting. I heard got one seller AHD (dono where located) really really good and fast servicing.
I will give it a GO
Hi im thinking of getting samsung SHP-DS705 for my gate. and SHP-DP727 for door. Me and wife dont like the idea of thumbprint for now. Is both of them ok? Or you will recommend to get something better?
705 is fine. 727 will need some servicing maybe every 2-3years
thanks for the reply. do you have a recommended samsung mortise push and pull lock other than the DR708 then? Maybe one with no thumbprint reader. Maybe SHP-DH525? better than the DP727?
@@prozac018yes, 525 is even better than 727
ok thanks!
Between Yale vs Philips...which u choose
Thanks for your video. Can I ask for your opinion on lockin s30 pro?
It is good. Period.
Bro, any idea about Alpha digital lock WS200?
Thank you for the amazing review, i lived in Indonesia. What do you think about schlage s7800. It look good, but they dont sell it in Indonesia, i have to buy from other country. Is it will be functioning properly if i use it in my country? Do you sell overseas through online store? Thanks for the reply
Better if can get models that your country selling.
What is your final decision bro? I lived in Indonesia too
Hi. Thanks for the sharing. I am currently looking at a brand called SKISET. Can you help advice me if this brand okay and for this particular model SK-13 Digital Lock is it good? Or can you recommend other better one for a security door?
Any specific model from Philip is recommended?
For Push pull=philips 9300, 702e, 702(3D), Alpha
Handle= 7300
Rim lock= 5100
for metal door= 7100
Hi, thanks with your professional review.
I need your opinion to help recommend which lock is better . Philips alpha, kaadas k9 or bosch fu550, very appreciate your help.
Philips Alpha and kaadas k9 okay. but this one Bosch design not so nice liao. Bosch EL600 more nice.
Thanks for the sharing!! It’s fantastic to have an industry person’s professional comments! We are considering 2 models from Samsung 708 or 609. Which one would you recommend please?
Definitely 708. There is no match from 609
@@TheFineLockShop hello! Can I ask why you recommend 708 more? What is the cons of 609? Thank you
@@mb-17 609 is a push pull while 708 is full auto
What it means is, if anything happen to electronic parts, 609 cannot be locked. You have to watch your house all the time until a repair guy come. 708, can still be locked by hand when electronic fails
Hi! Very informative, what is your opinion with Gateman brand? I understand they are the same company with Yale.
Samsung Models 609 and 708 which model u recommended?
708
Hello, is Schlage s818g gate lock reliable
Thanks for sharing. How about St Guchi 809L? Would you recommend the lock?
This lock is good. But st guchi is known for no after sales. So if luck is not on your side, it will be a big headache. (Price cheap though). Can consider. Got ups and downs
@@TheFineLockShop Thank you for the info Mr Francis. I'd go for Philips then.
Is philips alpha good? Philips alpha or 702e? Between samsung and philips which better for security?
Hi! What would u recommend for a push pull lock with full metal body? Don’t need wifi just need fingerprint and number
Philips Alpha
Samsung SHP50
Kaadas k9
Bosch Push Pull also can
Which yale lock to get now on a budget??
Hi, Thanks for your video. Can you please advice between 'Schlage S-6000, Samsung SHP-DH537 or Yale SYDM 4109+ ? Which on should I consider. It's for my apartment and fiberglass door
S6000
What do you think about Tenon locks?
You mentioned kaadas germany has alot of problems. Are you referring to that only expensive model or all models?
What are your thoughts on the Yale YDD724A deadbolt? Would really appreciate your honest thoughts on this 🙏🏼
First, from our experience, any deadbolt type digital lock tends to sucks and have problems. If you liked small digital lock, we highly recommend Rim instead
@@TheFineLockShop Thanks for replying!! Really appreciate it :)
hi francis,how about the reliability for hafele model?
