Before the Spring Festival this year, Lei Feng successfully applied for the smart product "Snail Housekeeper - Smart Door Latch" from Beijing Chuangchuang Future Technology Co., Ltd., just as CEO Wang Jingchu said: through simple installation, you can prevent 100% technical lock prying and protect the safety of family and property.
The red outer package has the function+parameter introduction of this smart door latch: 100% anti technical unlocking, 3 minute installation, 4 batteries for half a year, 3 years of ultra long standby, dual backup hardware and low power protection. Because it is a trial prototype, only the latch and four batteries were received before the Spring Festival. The coin of one yuan and two snail keys in the product composition in the Installation Manual were not sent to the trial users together. During the trial, the use function of the key was not experienced in time, and only the APP was used for testing. The snail keys reissued by the manufacturer later caused a slight delay in the experience report.
After the Spring Festival, the two little snail keys that had been waiting for a long time were reunited with the family members and gave them a family photo. One door latch, four No. 5 batteries, one fixed base, two snail keys, one hanging ring (only one), one installation instruction and one operation instruction.
This time I got a red latch, which is close to the color of the burglar proof door used at home. I feel it is very good. There are also gold, silver and blue for users to choose from in the official introduction. The front of the latch is a large button and a circular light band. Pressing the button can match different working modes: adding or removing the snail key, indoor opening/closing the latch. The light strip will also display green or blue according to the working status.
There is a square red button on both sides of the latch, which can be easily separated from the fixed chassis by pressing it inward during the initial installation and commissioning or when replacing the door lock later.
Corresponding to the red button on the front is the anti lock twist adapter button, which supports a maximum width of<7mm and a length of<26mm. The fitting button of the anti lock button can be taken out of the latch, and can be fitted with the anti lock button in your home before formal use. When the battery is installed for the first time, press the red button, you can see the rotation of the anti lock button. The designed angle before leaving the factory is the largest, not a fixed angle (the door lock at home is generally 90 ° clockwise or counterclockwise). When the opening or closing encounters a large resistance, the snail door latch will automatically open or close in place by default.
The connection between the anti locking button fitting buckle and the door latch is four plastic card slots, which can be put in as long as they are aligned with the direction.
The front side of the fixed base is 3M double-sided paste, which is pasted with the lock on the original anti-theft door, and the snap on the back side is connected with the latch.
The latch is powered by 4 ordinary alkaline batteries of 5 #, which can work continuously for more than 500 days. At the same time, this door latch also has a 2-level low battery reminder. When the power is low, the user will be reminded to replace the battery every time the door is opened. Of course, if you repeatedly ignore its reminder and do not replace the battery, the snail door latch will operate 50 times under low voltage or will open the door latch 5 days later.
When the latch is installed on the anti-theft door lock, there is a height difference, which will affect the stability of the latch. In order to solve this problem, a height adjustable balance base with magnet is designed at the bottom of the snail latch, which can be adjusted to a suitable height by pulling the handwheel to fit with the anti-theft door. This design uses the principle of worm wheel and worm, and the height can be easily adjusted by pulling the hand wheel.
In the manual, there are three ways to open/close the latch: 1. click the round button, 2. snail housekeeper APP, 3. snail key. In this trial, I focused on testing two main ways to open and close the latch. One is to click the round button. In the room, the usual way is to turn the anti lock button when you rest at night. This time, with the snail latch, you can sleep at ease by pressing the button. When going out in the morning, press the button again and press the door handle to go out easily; The second is to use the snail key for operation. You can click the snail key when you open the door to get the key, and then open the anti lock tongue and the normal lock tongue. As for using the mobile phone APP to operate, it can be used as a backup option. If you want to take the key and the mobile phone when entering the door, it is really a bit troublesome. This is just a personal preference and opinion, which does not affect the operation habits of other friends.
When you use the snail key, you need to add it to the latch. Long press the round button of the latch, and add the configuration according to the voice prompt. When the latch prompts you to enter the working mode, you can operate. During use, it is inevitable that keys will be lost or their functions will fail. It is necessary to delete the lost keys. First, clear all keys, and then re match all keys in use.
The installation process is simple, just pay attention to a few key points: before installation, clean the adhesive bottom surface of 3M glue, place the fixed base in the right direction, the slot is in the left and right directions, the center line should be horizontally and vertically aligned with the anti lock button, and then snap the door latch into the slot. Finally, adjust the height. Move the handwheel to keep the door latch and the anti-theft door horizontal, and the installation is successful.
The direction of the anti lock button of each household security door is inconsistent. Clockwise or counterclockwise, the snail latch is equipped with a direction switch inside the battery compartment. When it rotates clockwise, the anti lock tongue pops up, and the switch needs to be turned to the lower position; Otherwise, dial to the upper position.
Reminder: When adjusting the direction, the battery must be taken out once (power off once) before the direction can be changed. In the case of no power supply, the direction switch alone does not work.
In the working state, when the blue light is on, the voice prompt is closed successfully, and when the green light is on, the voice prompt is unlocked successfully. This kind of way of prompting and locking through sound and light is easy to be accepted by family members.
Most of the current security door locks can be unlocked and unlocked outdoors with a key, which can be accomplished through technical unlocking. However, when you lock the door indoors, whether the key is used to unlock or the technology is used to unlock the door outdoors, it is completely invalid, and outsiders cannot enter the room at all. Start up Future Technology Co., Ltd. realized this function easily through this snail butler smart latch, making more families safer.
We got a trial prototype. Through nearly a month's trial experience, the customer service of the snail steward always answered questions in time when they were raised. The overall feeling is still very commendable. In the process of use, due to different personal feelings, I hope that the problems encountered can be improved during the official flight.
The volume of the snail latch is a little large. When it is installed in the door lock, it is not very harmonious. It is recommended that the size can be reduced. The volume of the four No. 5 battery compartments takes up a large space, which can be designed to provide power for lithium batteries, with USB charging interface.
The switch of rotation direction is in the battery compartment. To change the direction, power off is required. It is recommended to design a reset hole on the shell.
The 3M adhesive used to fix the chassis is not convenient for disassembly and assembly. If you want to replace it, it is difficult to remove the traces. It is recommended to use self tapping to borrow the bolts on the door lock.
Attention shall be paid to the details, and the packing list shall correspond to the actual object. The keys, rings and coins mentioned in the instruction manual must be available. The unlocking method of red package is APP+snail key, and there are buttons in the instruction manual for unlocking.
The APP QR code is printed on the latch to facilitate scanning applications.
