The Teeho TE002 and TE001 locks can be opened with either a user code, a master code or even just your good old-fashioned physical key. No need to get caught up in complicated manuals here: it’s straightforward as it comes.
There’s even a mechanical switch that will let you open it up from the inside.
Unlocking from the Inside
If the batteries dies, no problem: There’s also a backup in case of emergencies. Below the keypad is a hole where you can insert your key and turn it to unlock door. It couldn’t be easier, or more electronic-free.
When you misplace the key, you can use the keypad instead. The buttons has a blue back light so they’re easy to see after dark.
For good measure, the master code serve as a back-up “all access” code in case of emergency (or simply forgetting your own).
You press the white buttons to enter the digits, and the lock respond without lag. This code work on both the TE001 and TE002 models.
The numbers are entered via the white buttons. The lock isn’t laggy. It recognize the code instantly. I’m talking about the TE002 model and the TE001 model.
Each day you can enter with a personalized user code. It’s private to you. It worked right away and the lock recognizes the sequence of digits you program.
Having options to get in is smart, you’re never stuck with only one method. Lose the key? No problem, you’ve got the codes. Batteries dead? No problem, you’ve got the key.
The thumbturn is located under the keypad for easy location. The sleek silver finish on the hardware look good on a black door.
The combination of physical and electronic interfaces on the outside work for just about any situation. As long as you remember one of them, you’ll never get locked out.
Unlocking from the inside is a mechanical action. Pressing the switch on the door-knob retract the latch. This movement is very smooth and doesn’t make you fumble around looking for the codes. It’s an efficient way to let people in and out quickly when running late.
For those who prefer manual dialing, there’s that option as well. And man, does it resist. No wobbling or slipping here; this thing is solid. It doesn’t use batteries; it’s just a physical process.
This means you’re never locked in the room. All you need is the knob switch, which has no learning curve whatsoever and is sufficient for interior access.
We didn’t have to mess with settings, and we didn’t need a firmware update. It was all good on the default settings.
Using both code AND a key is an option that will make life easier for people every day. I feel more comfortablely knowing that I can choose between two ways to get in (code/key). It’s a user friendly lock, which holds up well to everyday use.
