WOOCH RFID Lock Electronic Cabinet Lock, Hidden DIY Lock with USB…

Great function and value, not always an easy install though.
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.

Works well once installed
Installing this lock was not straightforward or necessarily easy. Being mechanical minded and having some construction experience helped. I installed it on a swing outward cabinet door. As such, I could not see the location of the mating pieces. The template dimensions are shown in just some numbers. (I presume they were metric in millimeters but I’m not sure and did not confirm.) I ended up allowing for the door thickness, folding the template on the provided lines, and holding the template up and marking the approximate location of the inside latch assembly. Then, using internal measurements of the cabinet I located the electronic lock housing and mounted it to the door. The screws provided were very good, sharp self-tapping wood screws that I screwed into the solid red oak cabinet door and wall with just a hand-held screwdriver. In the end, I have to put a slight upward pressure to open the door or to ensure it latches. But, I consider this a little added security. The RFID reader and cards/fobs work well with no issues and programming them was straightforward as described in the installation instructions. I can recommend this lock, but be forewarned about the installation difficulty.

Nice item, but has one big issue
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.

Worked 3 times then would not unlock. Had to disassemble my cabinet to get the lock off.
Difficult to install. Took several tries to get things lined up as instructions were not helpful. But then it was installed and working and wonderful for a total of 3 times and then it stopped working all together. I had to take my cabinet apart to get the lock off of it. I tried removing the batteries once had taken the back off my cabinet and could reach the battery compartment. I thought it would unlock then since it is supposed to unlock if the batteries die and i wouldnt have to take my cabinet apart any further. But it didn’t unlock then so I had to take my whole cabinet apart to get the lock out and the drawer open again. Once I removed the lock from the cabinet I tried to reset it to get the 2 lock pieces apart so I could fit it back in the product box to return it…and the reset button did nothing. So the lock is still locked. It worked for about 40 minutes from when I programmed the first rfid card to when I couldn’t even get it to reset. I do not recommend this product.

Performance good thanks for good information

Great little lock, stronger then I expected. Initial set up and mounting is a pain. Wish it came with better instructions and/or a mounting template.Would buy again.
