Have been very pleased with this lock. Looks good and has been very reliable for 6 months. I love the convenience of no longer needing to carry a house key. ... The fingerprint recognition was not perfect in the beginning. I had read that in other reviews before buying and was prepared for it. Also, I've used fingerprint readers at work for a long time and am familiar with their typical operation. But, after the first few weeks of use, the fingerprint reading has been near perfect. I have not had to use my key code for months. Not sure how it just got better -- I suppose we all improved at placing our fingers in the center of the reader.Recently, though, it started sticking. That is, the read was successful and the door said open, but the latch/bolt didn't pull in enough to cleanly open the door. And, it was a strange, progressive issue. First it was just sticky and you could jiggle and still get in, but then it got worse and you couldn't get the door open at all. ... So, long story made short: I went to the Ultraloq website and submitted the problem report with my device serial # and after a few emails and questions, they 1) said turn the handle up instead of down (part of the trouble-shooting and that allowed the door to open fine) and then 2) shipped me a brand new unit because this was an indication of a failing component. I am very impressed with their support!!Bottom-line is still that fingerprint readers are great. Now that I've been freed from the house key, I could never go back.
