Review: Adel 3398 Biometric Fingerprint Keyless Door Lock

adel-3398Summary: The Adel 3398 biometric fingerprint keyless door lock is well built and recognizes fingerprints fast, but is not very accurate. I recommend the Samsung SHS-P718 LBK/LMK lock instead. It’s more reliable and it comes with many extra security features.

Cons

  • The fingerprint recognition is not very accurate
  • The secret code is too long (11 digits)
  • The beeping sound of the lock is too loud
  • Installation and operating instructions are poorly written

Features

  • TL Listed Latch – durable and made to last long

Bottom Line
