### 5/5 — Drawer lock

*2026-08-20*

Exactly what I needed. I wanted a drawer lock that I could open with my iPhone, this does exactly what I need and I'm very happy with the lock and the app works fine for me. The lock is hidden inside the drawer and I just have to hold my phone near it to connect then unlock it. Works as I hoped it would!

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-08-02*

I don’t know what all these other reviews are about, either these people are insanely stupid or don’t know technology. The set up took like 3 min of my time and the lock works perfectly. Easy on and off with the touch of my thumb. Nice lock for the gym. And you can add a bunch of finger prints just in case you need the lock for a multi person use. Yea the lock itself isn’t anything I’d put on a cash safe or what not. But it’s definitely good for a gym locker or school locker or anything that you just want people to know not to go into……I would buy again and the app works fine. Yall just need to know what you’re doing even though it comes with instructions 😂

### 4/5 — Working Well

*2026-07-09*

The smart lock worked out of the box and everything went well after installing the app. The language barrier is evident but not difficult to overcome.

### 1/5 — Run!

*2026-07-08, version 4.7.8*

Waste of your time you can’t get past setting up account I wasted enough time trying to you’re welcome. Don’t waste yours

### 5/5 — Drawer lock with finger prints access

*2026-06-23*

I have had the drawer lock for more than a year and it has been working perfectly. I just bought the padlock with digital access hopefully it be like the drawer lock.

### 1/5 — Lock has died LOCKED

*2026-06-02, version 4.7.8*

I can’t access my bin store as the lock has died, even plugging it into a mobile power bank it won’t respond.

### 1/5 — What a joke

*2026-05-21, version 4.7.7*

Can’t register. Their strong passwords didn’t work. My passwords didn’t work. Reached out to tech support - all Chinese characters on the website so zero communication.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app & lock

*2026-05-18, version 4.7.7*

App and lock work perfectly. Really easy to set up and share permissions.

### 2/5 — 鍵かからない

*2026-05-08, version 4.7.7*

閉まらない！
アプリにはあけるボタンしかないけど一生鍵かからない！

### 1/5 — Security BREACH!

*2026-04-17, version 4.7.5*

First off, the products are shady! That's right, total JUNK! The site is a serious security red flag with a Security Certificate that expired SIX YEARS AGO (in internet time, that is a million years!)! Scam: You are giving your BIOMETRICS TO THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY!
