Do you have to turn the knob to make it open? Or is it truly only one fingerprint?

It reads your fingerprint, then unlocks, then you turn the knob and it opens.

fingerprint pad is small so you have to have exact placement everytime. so far no issues

The Biometric reader scans one finger for the fingerprint. I found it very unreliable and inconsistent so I just use the keypad on this unit. When it unlocks, the knob does have to be turned to retract the lugs back into the door.

It scans your finger print, beeps when it's the correct print, than you have to turn it to open it (but it's a very short turn)

It beeps once and you turn the knob . Not consistent with the finger print I use the numbers it's faster. Or the key

You have to be able to open the safe in order to press a button allowing programming of another print. Mine works great for everyone in my family that have their prints entered, I have just one fingerprint that it doesn't always recognize. If your storing a weapon I would suggest you choose another finger. John J.

unlocking mine i only press the four key numbers and works well. I only use that button for locking and turning. I guess you touched the button by mistake and it open - that i have not seen. I will try. If it's a new lock it could be a defect. I would try clsoing and opening and repeating what you did to see if you duplicate the failure and if happens again ...return it.

First, make sure when you enroll your fingerprints, you just place your finger on the window ...don't swipe it over it..it should be held still...also, I enrolled three fingers from my right hand so if one wouldn't work, one of the others might...last..make sure your finger and the device window are clear. I am assuming you used the software that came with it to enroll your fingerprints first?!

The unlock button is one side only. It is not difficult to use the index finger to slide it if holding with left hand. See... your momma should have trained you to use your right hand like us correct people do! (Kidding of course). It is the nicest tongs I have ever owned.

No I haven't seen any finger prints on my lock and I got it like a year ago.

It will only open in one direction. The knob is on the left and it opens to the right.

The fingerprint scanner in and of itself is kind of awkward to use. You have to use two hands to do it anyway, so the Commuter Series isn't bad. It doesn't make it any more awkward than it already is. Hope this helps!

I just hit the enter button then swipe my finger over the fingerprint pad and it comes right up. But then I am not very computer literate but I hope this helps.

It comes with a Key. If you have any problem with fingerprint you can use the key

Yes we have tried to fool it.and also my biometric safe..It does not open for photocopied fingerprints using even the best types of paper..The only thing it may open for is if you have a 3D printing machine that can mimic an exact silicone replica of your finger..It might open for that since it will have all the indentations and grooves of your finger..But then again why go through all that trouble when you can just go in someones backyard and kick through there window..or just take a sledge hammer and knock off the most toughest deadbolts........The Nextbolt to me is a better alternative to the standard dead bolt not only because of the little bit of increased security it gives ..but for the convenience it gives by not using keys..If you are looking for the ultimate security this should not be your top choice..You may want to consider getting a very good wireless Alarm system with motion sensor in every room using the best monitoring system tied directly to the police..Also you may want to setup internet survelance cameras with night vision around your premises so you can monitor your property on a daily basis.And probably half inch steel bars on every window with Ram resistant doors on every entry..This is how we use to live in South America......If you live in a bad area ..Do not buy the next bolt..Consider one of the other few options above that i listed..

You will need to open it with the key. Hopefully you didn't store the key inside the safe. Then after it is opened, start over again with the fingerprint recognition based on instructions. Just in case someone else happens to see this problem, I have had the unit for several years on the same battery ( I suppose I should change it soon) , and still reading my original fingerprint. I think your scenario is probably very unusual. It has been a very good and reliable unit for me.

no it doesn't. The instructions strongly recommend practicing often, using the key-pad & finger print. I've found this save to be very beneficial, since I actually did need to quickly access it a few weeks ago.

Yes, there is a back up key. The whole idea with the biometric to be able to use it in an emergency and to keep the kids out, and hide the key. This one wouldn't open with my finger prints at all and i tried to do the exact thing every time and it still wouldn't work for me, that is why we sent it back and ordered another one.

You just pry open with either finger nail, key or similar object - it pops open.

It's a tiny latch that slides to the right. You could do it one handed but it might be difficult to get ahold of if you have big fingers.

No, and this is not childproof or anything... the metal plate on the door sticks to the magnet on the cabinet, and you just pull the cabinet door hard enough to open it. One finger is probably all that is required.
