New Biometric Door Lock Installed
Well, last night I finally installed the Adel Biometric Door Lock and got it to work. Skye’s parents came over yesterday during the day to help with installing a door that I couldn’t get straight on the frame. The new door needed to be shaved down on one side to fit properly. After that was done the door was ready for the door lock. Skye’s parents got the door handle in but for some reason it was not functioning right when I programed it. I took it off and reassembled the unit; I reinstalled it and got it to work. Yea!
It’s a pretty cool unit. In addition to the fingerprints, you can also get in via PIN number or mechanical key, which I guess is a fail-safe if you get amnesia and have your fingers chopped off. There is no worry of power outage either, there’s a secret battery point where you touch a 9V battery to juice it up temporarily since the 4 double ‘A’ batteries are inside on the backside of the unit.
To program it, I had to set up a master print code. This print is different from the entrance print. It is only used to program the other 99 entrance codes. To program the master print I had to remove some hardware and push a couple of buttons in the back at the same time with special tools to activate the unit to accept a master print. Once that was done I set up the PIN for back up entrance. I had to prep the unit and then enter my own 8 digit number to create the new PIN. Once that was completed I put the unit back together and started to program the unit for fingerprint recognition. There are 99 open slots for fingerprints. I put my master print down to activate the unit to accept an entrance print, inputted a two digit number, and placed a different finger on the sensor to read it and then read it again. It beeped telling me it was saved. I tried and sure enough, I heard the motor turn and activate the handle. I pushed down on the handle and the door opened. Pretty cool.
What now, Mr. Spock?! That’s what I thought…
