RFID Lock Electronic Cabinet Lock, Hidden DIY Lock with USB Cable for Wooden Cabinet Drawer Locker Cupboard (1 Pack)

Overall I give this product a five for function. It is a good lock and well worth the cost. As far as it being easy to install that depends on the application I suppose. In my case I am using it for a shelf which has a hidden compartment that drops down. In this application lining up the latch with the holding mechanism is super tricky because the angle at which the compartment closes has to be accounted for and it’s not just a matter of simple math but rather a lot of trial and error and really small micro adjustments until you get it exactly right. When you finally get it right it works like a charm and is worth the effort. The other issues I had was that only 1 of the 4 cards that came with the pair of locks was able to be programmed. All of the key fobs worked though so it wasn’t an issue. The one recommendation I would give to the manufacturer would be to make the wire lead longer on the lock. It was too short to be of any use in my application. There was simply not enough wire to extend it anywhere that would have made it accessible once the shelf is locked. Had it been 6 inches longer I could have extended it to a place where it would have been accessible and concealed. Not a knock on the product just an idea to make it more usable for more applications. Like I said before I still have to give it five stars based on function and overall value.

I originally saw this product on FB for $140, then it was on "sale" for 50% off. Amazon sells the exact same item for $15, so it was worth trying it. Works as advertised, it can be a little tricky to get it lined up since it is inside the drawer, but it will still work even if it is just a little off. I doubt it would hold up to extreme force, but it is perfect for keeping young children out of cabinets or drawers. It is easy to hide the fob nearby and even if someone fines the fob, it would not be obvious how to use it unless you know where the latch is located.

It works, but the performance is inconsistent. One of the locks I have actuates pretty well, the other one not nearly as well and can't handle any tension force on the mechanism. The mechanism is sensitive to the force imposed on the lock in all directions. If there is too much force on the mechanism inward (OR outward), it will not actuate properly and release the bolt when unlocking. Therefore making the installation tedious to get the right amount of force to oppose the lock, if you want the door to spring open. This doesn't matter much with a typical desk drawer, where it doesn't need to be perfectly flush or be under tension, but it does matter hugely when trying to use this on a flush panel under some tension so it springs open.I think this is a manufacturing issue. The piston and the cylinder bolt which it captures are cheaply machined with sharp edges not sanded off and they bite into each other when locked and force is exerted on them. This causes the mechanism not to release cleanly, because it can't overcome the friction caused by the metal edges with it's tiny motor. Lubrication won't do anything, but with a small metal file and a little time, you might be able to smooth out the contact points so it actuates more cleanly.

I installed this RFID electronic cabinet lock on my wooden cabinet, and it has exceeded my expectations. The setup was straightforward, and the lock operates smoothly with RFID cards, providing a secure and convenient way to access the contents. The hidden design makes it discreet and adds a sleek, modern look to my furniture.The included USB cable is a thoughtful feature for easy reprogramming and power backup, ensuring the lock remains functional even if the batteries are low. The lock feels durable and well-made, offering reliable security for drawers, lockers, or cupboards. Overall, this RFID lock is an excellent DIY solution for enhancing security and convenience in home or office storage. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a modern, easy-to-use locking system.

Works exactly as described. Installation is quite easy. Great value for the price

This is a well priced, nice little lock, which works with fobs and cards, and is "relatively" easy to set up. There is one big issue, however, and that is that you cannot set it to remain in an unlocked position - in other words, it automatically closes after about 5 seconds. This means that if you want to lock this drawer only SOMETIMES, overnight perhaps, or when access is available to strangers, etc., you can't, and it also means that when you use the drawer personally and any time, you must unlock it and close it shortly after opening, or you can't fully close the drawer. In other words, if you close it with the automatic lock functioning, the drawer, or course, can't be closed fully because the lock section is locked, thus not allowing the drawer to close fully. So this would be good for an office, or such, but in a personal function only, it is limited, and doesn't work for those who want to intermittently lock the drawer, cabinet, etc. I asked the manufacturer to confirm this finding, which they did, and they did immediately - so other than this issue, the lock works. Just be aware that you can't leave it in an unlocked position for more than the time it is programmed to automatically lock itself.
