When you’re not home, you can use the Teeho TE001 lock for added security by turning on Vacation Mode. The lock will be unlocked only with your master code and all user codes won’t work while it’s active. That means even if someone does get hold of one of those codes, they still can’t open the door. It’s easy to turn on and off.
How to Enable Vacation Mode
“Tap it two times on the Teeho button,” you begin. The lock receives that input and responds instanty. Then you type in your master code, which confirms who you are. And you tap it one more time.” It’s just a simple handshake protocol.
You then enter your master code to verify your identity, and you press the button again. This act as a simple handshake protocol.
Pressing number 2 bring up Vacation Mode, and pressing that final time on the Teeho button confirms your selection. There’s no audible or visible response from the lock, which you take to mean it’s now in Vacation Mode (though there is silence).
You press number 2 to select Vacation Mode, and you confirm the choice by pressing the Teeho button one last time.
When in this mode, regular user codes is ignored. If you attempt another code, the lock won’t accept it. To open the door, you need the master code, which prevents anyone else from using it. There’s no danger of some random code being used.
To disable the mode, simply re-enter your master code. It verifies your identity again, then you hit the Teeho button one time. The lock returns to its usual function and your user codes will be enabled again.
The whole process takes less than a minute, so you can enable it before leaving and disable it upon return.
It’s all done in under one minute, and you can turn it on when you leave home and off when you come back. There is no need to look at the instructions once you get familiar with how it works. It takes a few seconds for the system to respond. Your muscle memory will keep you repeating the sequence over time. And when tested out it delivers consistantly.
That Master Code is important. This is the only one that will open the door.
The Teeho TE001 lock features a Vacation Mode that adds security by disabling user codes and only allowing the master code to unlock the door.
That’s a pretty solid lock down there, which is more secure then stashing your keys away somewhere. It’s sturdy hardware. The keypad responds well, and you won’t have any issues with false entries. Buttons provide clear feedback, it looks good, and it doesn’t get in the way of your door handle at all. It fits right into the entryway.
But more importantly, you should of give it a shot because it’s fast. Even if you don’t use it every day, it’s there like a safety net.
It’s intuitive and does what you’d expect it to do. The instructions are clearly laid out in the included instruction card, but once you’ve used it once or twice, just remember the rhythm. Two taps, then your master code, then the button, then two, then the button. It is easy to remember.
Who comes through the door? That’s up to you with Vacation Mode. No, it doesn’t need an internet connection. No, it doesn’t require an app. No, it isn’t complicated: It’s a local feature without firmware updates or worries of Wi-Fi outages. Press some buttons, and the system responds.
