In a home setting, when using a fingerprint smart lock, multiple incorrect attempts can lead to the automatic lockout of the system. But how long does the system remain locked before it can be unlocked?

Different brands of fingerprint lock systems have varying lockout durations. To get specific information, we recommend contacting the customer service hotline for your fingerprint front door lock. Generally, the lockout period for fingerprint locks is approximately 1 minute. After this time, the system will automatically unlock. However, if you cannot wait, you can use the emergency key to unlock the door and perform a system reset.

Why does the fingerprint lock system automatically lock?

This security measure is implemented to protect the integrity of the fingerprint lock. When there are five consecutive incorrect attempts with either the password or fingerprint, the fingerprint lock’s mainboard will be locked for 1 minute. This effectively prevents malicious attempts to steal the password.

Features of a fingerprint lock system:

● Unlocking Methods: The fingerprint lock provides multiple ways to open the door, including fingerprint recognition, password entry, magnetic card, remote access through a mobile phone, and emergency key. Some models may even have facial recognition capabilities.

● Sound Prompt: The fingerprint lock system provides audio prompts to assist users during operation.

● Automatic Locking: If the door is not closed properly, the lock will automatically engage once the door is shut.

● Emergency Access: In case of emergencies, you can use an external power source or the emergency key to open the door. This ensures quick and safe access during critical situations such as fires.

● Low Voltage Alarm: The fingerprint smart door lock system will emit a low voltage alarm or send a notification to your mobile phone when the battery voltage is running low. We recommend promptly replacing the batteries. Even during the low voltage alarm period, the fingerprint lock can still be used to unlock the door multiple times.

● Administrator Capacity: Up to 5 administrators can be registered.

● Fingerprint + Password + Card Capacity: The system can store up to 300 sets of fingerprint, password, and card information, with the option for customization to accommodate more.

● Password Length: Passwords consist of 6 digits.

● Password Reset: If a user forgets their password, they can use the management password to unlock the door and reset the user password simultaneously.

● Protection Function: After five consecutive incorrect attempts with either the password or fingerprint, the fingerprint lock’s mainboard will be locked for 60 seconds, effectively preventing unauthorized access.

● Anti-Tamper Alarm: While the door is locked, if someone tries to tamper with or break the lock, the electronic fingerprint lock will emit a strong alarm sound.

● Disturbance Code Function: Prior to entering the correct password, users can enter any disturbance code to prevent others from stealing the password or engaging in burglary.
