Its front is all black, with a virtual keyboard that lights up with one touch for entering the access , it has opening and closing confirmation lights, a fingerprint reader and also a area for external batteries, a emergency in case you forget to change your batteries.

Instalação 2q356t

Its installation is simple and practical, but it is recommended to hire a professional to perform this service, as it will be necessary to drill the door frame.

It is important to emphasize that this lock follows the ABNT standard, which stipulates the standard for locks here in the country. This means that if in the future you decide to change to another model, you will not need to change the entire door, as digital lock models are not universal, as is the case with some imported international models. Just use an ABNT lock.

On closing, it s automatic closing, where, after closing the door, it automatically locks after a period between 1 and 8 seconds, to be defined by the .

Unfortunately, this model is not compatible with smart home protocols, so it will not be possible to use it together with your virtual assistant or with apps for Android and iOS. It also does not approach keyrings, the so-called RFID technology.

However, the paddock has a complete line of electronic locks and there are models that accept commands from personal assistants such as Alexa, such as the FD-500 Pro, which can even be controlled via the app.

Safety 4e193o

Even with all its structure, which is already very solid, the lock is not only attached to the door, but also to the jamb. Even so, in case someone tries to break into it or insists on typing incorrect s, it has an audible alarm, increasing the safety of residents.

In addition, it also has the so-called Do Not Disturb Mode, which can be activated by pressing the open/close button for 05 seconds. When active, this mode disables all external access options, preventing it from being opened from the outside.

According to Pado, the batteries can last between 6 and 12 months, but the greater the use, the shorter the duration. Anyway, it's a very long period. And here's an observation: on the manufacturer's website it is advised to use batteries that are not rechargeable, so here's the warning.

Conclusion 60664y

It is an excellent digital electronic lock. It goes beyond the basics of the category by offering the option of opening by fingerprint as well. The fact that it is a domestically manufactured lock, with local and assistance, also counts. 

The price is a little higher than expected, as there are cheaper options for sale in the international market, but the mix between design, functions and security is excellent in the FDE-101RM.

    1. Hold the open and close button, keep it pressed and then press the button to open the settings next to the batteries.

  1. Is this lock recessed or overlapping? The text says it's superimposed but the photos are of a built-in model. Of course, the body of the electronics is superimposed on the door, but the lock itself is recessed.

    1. The sensor that determines whether the door is closed may have reason during shipping or installation. Just move it further down and it will detect automatic closing again. at 3004-5757 … they helped me resolve this issue easily.

  2. Hi, could you tell me the width of the outside part? The area of ​​the door I intend to install is 8 cm between the frame and the bar.
    Thank you.
