  2. Upgraded from SHS-5120 to a fingerprint SHS-5230 (kids more happy though I like RFID card more). Moved the old SHS-5120 to a rental unit (tenant very happy). All happy.
  3. I would say it is primarily for convenience but there are security benefits... Convenience example: I go cycling, jogging nowadays without key(s) jiggling in my pockets - and my RFID card allows access faster and fits into my wallet Security example: how many times have I (or my kids) left the key stucked to the door after entering the home; this does not happen anymore! ... and of course, the fact that the key is electronic pin - you can change it as often as needed (and not change the lock when you loose a physical key. To keep your existing physical lock, use the RIM type lock instead of the mortise lock (eg. Gateman F10 instead of F100) or the equivalent Samsung ones. As for Samsung versus Gateman, I use both and my conclusion is it is all about the looks.
  4. Interesting thread here: discussion on crank case heater Two things I picked up: - cch (crank case heaters) prevents migration of coolant into oil - this heating required only if temp < 70deg F (21 deg C) It does leave the question of whether we can ask the aircon installers to disable the CCH (during installation) - and still keep the warranty.
  5. ... and she uses these to lock her condo unit. The locks from Interlock are just locks .....I have no issues with them and their prices (too)!
  6. My mother uses this to turn a spare room at her home in Malaysia into a super large (and walk in) "digital safe".
  7. My SHS-5120 is 1.5 years old - and there is NO issue. I guess the competition has an issue (but that's good for prices eh? ). I would love to have an issue as an excuse ... to upgrade .. to Gateman F100 - or the relatively newer model SHS 5230 model. this or ... or both?
  8. My Samsung SHS-5120 (which should be the same as yours as I don't think there is a 5200) is working perfectly for the last 1+ year - and still does. I suggest contacting the vendor again - I don't think forumers here fix digital door locks - but the only time I hear interesting sound is when the door is ajar (as a reminder to close) - or when the battery is low (as a reminder to replace the batteries). So yours does not sound right if it beeps whole day. Call the vendor.
  9. Please send me Aaron's contact. Thanks.
  10. Read for fun - but this is all too complicated; what matters is what matters (what a wise statement on my Saturday weekend!) Price and utility matters (for an 'appliance'). We are all working adults with better things to do than to pay more than necessary (maybe iPhone may be an exception! but that's besides the point, and on 2nd thought, savings here may help fund the iPhone!). Digital door locks are fun and practical. Just get it. You only think and worry when the prices are astronomical - but it shouldn't be for an 'appliance'.
  11. There is no leakage since. However, I am not sure if this is all due to Xypex, as I also also asked a self employed plumber to apply some white cement around the floor-tile-meets-gulley area (original cement diagnosed to be porous). This was before the xypex application (long story I won't go into it). So, I can only say 100% no problem now (but could be a combination of the above two).
  12. Try this link to contact the vendor who supplied me: http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=280510862975
  13. Samsung 5120 for the price (I'm using one) and one should not pay sky high for a digital lock - unless you think it is more than a lock
  14. What a beauty again - Gateman V100 - to tempt those staying on the sideline ... and it is just two Nike shoes's ($).
  15. No point installing on the metal gate. As for rain showering on the lock -- don't really know - best check with the vendor. It did cross my mind that given the V20 is a rim lock .. you can install higher it that helps, ... and since it is RFID (contactless), you can 'laminate it' (just a crazy idea).
  16. Someone asked some time ago on installing on the gate (metal gate?)... and I always wondered why. Why - if I may ask? If you use the gate for security purpose, I had this crazy idea (no one did it yet) --- install two digital locks on the door! Be the first Singaporean to do it.......
  17. Imagine the groceries and a pressing need to go to the ........ ... it happens all the time! So the question is which is faster: fingerprint, pin or RFID ?
  18. Most of us got this from the vendor. I am a repeat buyer because got uncle, aunties ... and now Malaysia uncle aunties. http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=280506578611 [ including installation and 1 year warranty ] Not much if you consider how much you spend on your Nike shoes.
  19. A small V20 picture; took some photos when I bought for my relatives in M'sia but still in my digicam if you really want to SEE what you can't see in the small one -- lol.
  20. Local vendor I used: www.jmpl.com.sg. You can read more there. I suggest you call them in to do a survey and also to address your questions - which I did to also get a sense of the company's professionalism. Pricing: as a gauge for my (below) neighbour's HDB masterbedroom toilet ceiling area size, about $700. Price may have change - so contact them. As mentioned above, I used this because I cannot afford (both $, effort, time) to hack down my renovated bathroom. It took them 1 day to grind off the ceiling surface (so yes, can be dusty and dirty there), wash and paint xypex, then clean up. They came back to paint the ceiling on another day. What was HDB's assessment? Why just around the toilet bowl area?
  21. Guys, just do it! If you need it! Otherwise, can wait forever I am ordering two Gateman V20 for my cousin in KL. No hassle RIM lock (just install on top). Gateman V20 Just cut down one big dinner outside every month for the convenience of a digital door lock. Will take pictures before I drive up to KL. Woot!
  22. I have the SHS-5120 installed at my home . Got it from the vendor (Interlock/Desmond); you should be able to find his lock+installation+package on eBAY. Got the lobang here many months ago .... made it so affordable. Tip -- consider the Gateman V20 (which is a RIM lock) if your are still deciding - I thought that should be the best-value 'lifestyle upgrade' to your life ... eh-hem -- I mean your door.
