Pros

-
Palm vein recognition is the standout attribute, repeatedly praised as fast, easy, touchless, and reliable, despite one reviewer seeing wake/register issues.
-

-
Most reviewers found installation quick or easy, often around 10 to 15 minutes, though one reviewer had a very poor experience with bolts and assembly.

Security and privacy features are a major strength in positive reviews, especially local processing, P2P transmission, and no cloud dependency.
-
Auto-lock is consistently praised or reported to work as intended, especially when paired with door-closed sensing.
-
The app is feature-rich and often praised as customizable or easy to use, but one reviewer hit reboots, force-quits, and rough software behavior.

Value is mixed: reviewers appreciate the two-in-one design, discounted pricing, and no monthly fees, but some still consider it expensive.
