A60 Fingerprint Smart Door Lock

The A60 s a very sturdy and nice looking biometric, code and key lock. This is my 3rd biometric lock. I had the Ardwolf A1 in 2017 prior this one and while I liked the A1, the A60 is a nice upgrade. Prior to these two, I had a different brand which failed in less than a year. The customer service at ardwolf is supreme.

Easy to install, quality metal construction, works great every time.

Easy to install but had to go online and download directions. Programming was to vague. After I set it up it works good.

I have had four Ardwolf locks, two failed and two still in use. The biggest gotcha is the need to drill a hole on the door to stabilize it, which it definitely does. If you need to remove it later, a spot of wood filler will be required. The locks look good, and once setup work well. Setup is a bit tricky, but study the manual and it starts to make sense. Unless you plan to have a lot of people using it, you can scan multiple fingers from a few family members for ease of use (i.e. thumb and forfinger on each hand).Unfortunately, one unit failed when the internal mechanism broke, and a second unit failed open and wouldn't lock.As of 2024, the company appears to have disappeared, the website is gone and the support email returns to sender.If you can get one of the locks for a really good deal (i.e. $30 or less), give them a try. THey are well designed and do work, until they don't.**update, another one broke. While the exterior is extremely well made, the interior is very poorly built (think: plastic parts and ballpoint pen springs). Can't recomment these under any circumstances.

Aesthetically, this looks great. It looks and feels very well made.Functionally, it can see some improvements. The touch screen is a little slow in regards to responsiveness. Sometimes it wakes up with a single touch, sometimes it takes a couple tries.The biometric scanner reads very well.The programming is not difficult.Additionally, and this is why I rated it low is because my unit arrived with a scratch on the touch screen and after a few days, the gears seem to have become stripped, and will not open my door. Not even with the key.Thankfully, I was able to pop down in my office through my crawl space and open it from the other side, only after completely taking it off of the door.Maybe I received a returned unit, or just one that fell through QC.

My biggest concern with these kind of locks is what happens if your battery dies. This unit has multiple fail safes to address this issue. First an alarm will light and beep if the battery is going low...and it takes regular batteries not some weird size you have to special order. Next, there is a key entry if you need it and finally it can be hooked up to a power bank to gain entry. I think the quality, ease of installation and additional security measures make it worth the price.

Very easy install process and great post sale support. We were in need of some replacement hardware due to a self inflicted stripped head and the manufacturer quickly shipped us replacement screws..
