Electromechanical biometric lock Samsung SHS-P718 - “Do you forget your keys at home or suffer looking for them in your bag? You always think, did you forget to close the front door? A solution to all these problems has been found in the form of a door electromechanical lock Samsung SHS-.

But not by anyone, of course ... But only by those who are officially registered in the system. However, first things first, as usual.

“Lock your door, let the door be closed,” is probably how Bulat Okudzhava would sing if he wrote not cult poetic lines, but reviews smart gadgets. True, the last lines would have to be redone: The price of a castle, or castles, which will be discussed is far from a penny ...

In principle, the fact that Samsung produces locks is not surprising. The company has such a range of devices for all occasions that you wonder: even the tanks of the official website. Now Samsung products are smartphones, sports goods, wearable electronics, gadgets for children, Appliances and smart home products.

The last niche, probably, should include Samsung digital locks.

Conventionally, the product line is divided into two large categories: for home and office with gradation at a price of 12 to 45 thousand rubles. Of course, the higher the price, the more unique features"included", such as a fingerprint scanner, etc.

For office

In the "office" line, one of the most popular, simple, functional and inexpensive models should be recognized or similar -.

Both models are designed to mount on glass office doors and can be opened using a pre-set code or a special card that comes with the kit. It also assumes an intrusion warning system and protection against hooligan actions.

The control panel of the lock is located with reverse side. The locks can be closed by turning the handle or by pressing the button. True, it is worth saying that the “push-button” control works only when a special sensor is mounted in the sash opposite:

The place at the level of which it should be installed prudently marked:

Here, on the reverse side, there is a compartment for installing batteries that will work for 1 year.

Once you've programmed the lock, all that's left to do is run your hand across the touchpad to call up the numbers. Then - press the combination that you set as the year, and voila ...

Automatic closing of the door by pressing the button. Sensor installed:

Attempt to automatically close the door by pressing the button. Sensor not installed:

Separately, it should be noted that one should not hastily judge the appearance of locks by exhibition samples that have already seen their sights ... All the abrasions that are visible in the pictures naturally do not come in the "basic configuration", but are the result of intensive use in the "field conditions".

Castles look modern and prestigious. And the quality of delivery, Samsung packaging, as always, is on top. Here is an example of how electronic locks are delivered: all elements are neatly and carefully packed, keys, card locks and everything you need, even batteries, so you can start using the device instantly.

As a summary of "office" models, it is worth recognizing that both versions and are simple and functional, convenient and understandable access control systems in modern office. Suitable for glass doors.

For home

For obvious reasons, residential locks are a little more difficult to install and assemble, but the closing part is, of course, more reliable: these are no longer two cylindrical steel retractable strips.

At the same time, the locks work on similar principle: have a programmable code panel, the ability to open the lock using a card, and some models even with a fingerprint.

Among the locks for the home, the most popular are models and SHS-P718. Both of them are equipped with a fingerprint scanner.

Model H705/5230 looks more familiar, as it is equipped with a drop-down handle.

It is easy to program: back side Instructions are located under the battery cover.

In this case, you will first have to enter a couple of random characters. This was done, probably, in order to mislead an outsider, if he suddenly wants to peep how you get into the apartment.

Also, for simplicity, you can set your own finger as a key, and then, applying it, get inside.

It's pretty secure even within one hand, and the lock won't go wrong:

The model looks much more innovative SHS-P718.

At the same time, it works on a similar principle, offering the same levels of protection in the form of a code, a card, and a fingerprint scanner. To program this model, you again need to look under the battery cover. Further - everything is on the knurled ...

The lock opens with a fingerprint:

Emergency door opening

Everything runs on batteries, and these batteries, of course, do not last forever. One day it may happen that you forget to replace the power source in time, but there will still be no difficulties with getting into the apartment - it is enough to have a Krona with you. Each lock has two contacts on the outside:

You will need to attach a crown to them, and this will activate the lock: you will get into the apartment and change the batteries.

As a result

Despite the fact that Samsung locks are digital, they are quite easy to program. The ease of operation is out of proportion to the ease of opening them, and the locks are secure. You can probably open them to an outsider, hack them, like everything else in this world. But it’s rather stupid to talk like that, so we must admit that the locks are reliable, and unlike other non-digital models, they also offer additional degrees of protection, one of which belongs to the “non-forgeable” category - this is biometric protection.

Castles look stylish, prestigious, and this may cause some concern. However, you should “breathe”, because the times when they burned buttons in elevators, painted in the entrances have already passed in some places, and now it’s not scary to have such a lock. Yes and recent times all more houses and entrances have concierges, are equipped with video surveillance and other means of additional control.

The price is higher than the price of conventional mortise locks. It's true. But depending on the model, the price is variable. For example, locks for an office can be bought from 12 thousand, locks for an apartment - in the range of 30 - 45, etc. At the same time, comparing digital locks with ordinary ones is also not entirely correct, although Samsung can compete here too. Let's say some Abloy products cost more than 50,000 rubles!

Description Samsung SHS-G517Z

Samsung SHS-G517Z - overhead electronic lock for narrow profile doors. Electronic lock from Samsung for plastic doors. Solid appearance with unique design and large functionality will not leave indifferent any user. The lock model SHS-G517 has won many prizes and awards at international exhibitions. The design is made in the form of rounded edges and luxuriously fits all kinds of interiors. The security system of the lock is at the highest level and user functions are designed for literally all types of consumers. Installing a lock on plastic or narrow-profile doors takes several minutes, and the ability to mount it on any type of door, with any opening, attracts potential buyers.

The lock can be opened in three ways:

• by entering a digital password on the touch screen;
• using a convenient plastic RF card key fob;
• using the remote control remote control(optional feature)

Instant installation on any door.

The lock is installed quite simply and quickly and does not require special skills, it is enough to drill 4 holes for the bolts in the profile and one additional hole for the electronic harness to connect the panel and the locking part, and the moment of installation is ready. Simple programming of cards and passwords takes place right on the lock itself and no additional devices are required. Some types of doors may require a striker for the lock (purchased separately). Simple and easy installation, fast function programming is a good choice of Samsung electronic lock.

Various ways to open the lock

High and modern technologies used in the manufacture of the lock, allow you to open this device in several ways:

• opening can be done with a compact plastic RF card, it is enough
• touch the sensor and the mechanism will automatically open;
• the lock can also be opened by entering a digital password on the touch screen
• to achieve maximum results, it is also possible to use the double security protection system and combine the functions of entering a password and a card at the same time.

Easy and safe use of locks with RF cards

Most large quantity combinations are included in ISO14443A standard cards and amount to more than 137 billion combinations. On the this moment there is no more advanced lock protection system in the world. Easy programming, compactness, the impossibility of copying and easy recovery brings this type of card to the forefront and deserves it. The RF card is compact and can be hidden in any place convenient for you, it can also be glued to any surface for ease of use, for example, on the cover of a mobile phone or on the surface of a wallet. Low cost These cards allow, if necessary, to distribute them to a large number of users and also easily remove them from the memory of the electronic lock, which is a maximum of comfort and convenience.

Remote control

Locks for Samsung narrow profile doors have the ability to remotely open / close using the remote control. For this option to work, you must additionally purchase a radio module and a remote control. Up to three remote controls with one lock can be used at the same time. The remote control allows you to control the lock from a distance of up to 30 meters!

Additional features for the impossibility of guessing a password

When using the touch panel, we leave our fingerprints on the plastic on the same numbers, which makes it possible to pick up a code for an attacker by observing and selecting numbers. To mislead an intruder before entering a password, you must enter two random numbers and only then proceed to enter your digital combination, thus we are almost 100% confusing and complicating our code and creating the impossibility of selection, since in this case the number of combinations is simply huge.

Dual security and automatic door locking systems

For various reasons, sometimes we forget to close the door, but in this case, it will help us automatic system closing, which within 3 seconds after you closed the door and did not use the card or code, the door automatically closes. This feature can be disabled if not needed. If you do not want to be disturbed, then being inside the premises, you can block the electronic lock for opening from the outside and any visitor will not be able to open this lock using cards, key fobs or codes. The function can also be programmed for a different period of time.

No need for electrical work

Many older models of electric locks previously had electrical cables to power the lock present stage development due to the development of micromechanics and energy-saving elements, this is not necessary. The lock is powered by 4 AA batteries (AA batteries) and the service life exceeds more than 12 months with intensive use. The built-in sound device in the lock warns the user in advance about the need to replace the batteries, and the light indication on the display will constantly remind you of this in advance.

Emergency opening system in case of battery failure

If for some reason the batteries have lost their energy capacity, then in this case the lock is provided with an emergency door opening system by connecting a backup power supply using a Krona battery. It is enough to attach the battery contacts to the lock contacts and dial the code or attach the RF card and the lock will open.

Safety alert system and quality standardization

In the event of a fire and emergency situations, the castle has a built-in smoke alarm system, a sharp rise in temperature, and in case of physical impact on the castle from the outside. In such cases, the sound device is triggered and the alarm is turned on, which notifies the user of an emergency situation. In the process of developing this lock, a number of special tests were used to ensure high-quality and trouble-free operation. Such a lock is resistant to temperature changes, water-resistant, able to withstand high voltage electrical discharges and is made of high-strength and quality materials, which is confirmed by various international certificates.

Once samples of Samsung digital locks came to our office. We will briefly talk about some of them today.

In general, the presence of Samsung in the range is not surprising: the company does almost everything. At one time, as you must be aware, even tanks are in the catalog!

The company divided its locks into two groups: for the office and for the home. The latter, in turn, received an additional “biometric access method”. Indeed: a finger is a key that you will never forget or lose!

But besides the finger, other means of opening / closing are attached: keys, electronic cards. In general, it should be noted that the complete set of models is rich.

Of the "home" models, the supplier especially notes two models: and. They are considered the most advanced, as they are equipped with a fingerprint scanner.

The first version looks more familiar - it is equipped with a classic handle. The second is a little more intricate.

For all the seeming complexity, both models are programmed quite simply: from the living quarters, under the lock cover, there is an instruction with which you can set all the necessary settings.

To activate the panel, you need to hold your hand, after which the "protection" from prying eyes as random numbers.

The lock can be opened with the code:

Or fingerprint:

Moreover, this method reliable within one hand of one person: so if you suddenly accidentally forget which finger you activated as a key, then - sorry:

The rear side of the lock, which is located on the side of the apartment, provides access, firstly, to the batteries: the lock is powered by batteries, and, secondly, to the settings panel.

Among other things here:

• audio level control
• switch from manual to automatic locking mode
• fingerprint registration key
• a large mechanical oval button for closing the lock, under which is a rotary lever for manually opening (closing) the lock

In total, for the safety of the premises, several modes are provided.

for example

• "Protection of a digital password from selection" mode, which excludes the possibility of selecting characters by fingerprints on the touch panel
• one-touch security mode, activates the protection mode, in which an attempt to open the door from the inside will temporarily block the lock and turn on the sound siren
• the "Auto lock lock" mode will latch the lock every time the door is in the closed position
• the "Double protection" (Night blocking) mode, when activated, blocks the lock when you try to unlock it from the outside. A similar result, but only in the mechanical version, the user will receive by pressing the lock button on the lock handle
• "Hackproof" mode will turn on the alarm siren if you try to use an unregistered password or fingerprint five times in a row
• the “Fire detection” mode will work when the air temperature inside the room exceeds a critical value (set in the factory settings). In this case, an emergency siren will be activated, the lock will automatically open, which will allow people to freely and quickly leave the smoky room.

The second model that we mentioned, SHS-P718, has another key - a card, the place for applying which is allocated under the fingerprint scanner.

This lock is programmed in a similar way and also runs on batteries. The service life declared by the manufacturer is 1 year with 10 “openings” per day. However, closer to the expected date of changing the batteries, it would be nice to have a Krona with you just in case.

Each lock has contacts for emergency access to the apartment.

Contacts are located on the outside:

Locks for office doors seem much simpler. They are designed for modern glass doors. Here, among the models, attention should be paid to (with mounting plates).

Such a lock requires fewer batteries, fewer security modes, and it is proposed to use cards and a code panel for indoor access. To close the door, you need to either turn the handle or press a special button.

However, the second method is effective only when a special sensor is placed on the opposite leaf.

Moreover, at a certain level: this place is marked.

Operating temperature range:

20°С...+60°С

Dimensions:

Outer dimensions 69 x 175 x 22 mm, Inner dimensions 181 x 92 x 48 mm

Electronic lock from Samsung SHS-1321 - the lock is perfect for any doors in apartments, office buildings and country houses, besides, it can become great solution security issue for access to private territory. Opening the lock is possible with a password, RF card or a combination of both. This lock can be used as an "invisible patch lock". To do this, the outer part of the lock is not installed on the door itself, in a place hidden from the eyes.

The lock is easy to install and use, only a drill and a screwdriver are needed for installation. The lock can be installed on both left-handed and right-handed doors; on a door that opens both outside and inside the room.

The lock has a wide range of functions:

Opening method

You can open the lock by entering a password on the touch screen or using a contactless plastic mifare card. It is possible to strengthen the dual authorization mode - opening with a password and a card.

Samsung locks support ISO14443A cards. Currently, this standard provides highest level secrecy and allows you to program one of the 137 billion combinations.

Removing cards from the memory is as easy as adding them. RF cards cannot be copied, which makes them even more attractive. In case of loss, the cards can be deleted from the lock's memory.

RF card has small size and weight and can be easily fixed, for example, on mobile phone, in your bag pocket or wallet. You can open door lock by simply touching it with your phone!

Samsung locks are equipped with a highly sensitive touch screen. The lock display is protected by high-strength ABS plastic and is able to withstand both strong blows and the effects of fire and water.

Password protection from guessing

Before entering the master password, you need to press two arbitrary numeric keys that appear on the screen. Thus, the possibility of guessing a password using fingerprints on the display is completely excluded.

Security alarm

You can select the mode in which cases the alarm will be activated:

They try to break the door;

An attempt to open with a hostile card or password guessing;

Attempting to unlock the door from the inside when no one is in the room.

Automatic locking

With this function, the samsung electronic lock will automatically close within 3 seconds (the function can be disabled).

High level of security in emergency situations.

If a fire is detected, the fire alarm will be activated and the device will be unlocked automatically, which will allow you to safely and freely leave the room in case of smoke. The built-in sensor will react to an increase in the temperature in the room, but if the lock is heated from the outside, nothing will happen.

During a mechanical impact on the lock, for example, a blow to the lock or other opening attempts, the built-in siren is activated, accompanied by a light indication and blocking the operation of the lock. The lock will turn on the 80 dB siren for 5 minutes.

Ease of installation.

The lock does not require wires to operate. The lock is powered by 4 AA batteries. The service life of which is more than 12 months.

The lock starts to warn the owner about a low charge level a week before it is completely discharged. Notification of battery replacement occurs by means of an indicator on the lock displays, as well as a sound signal at each opening.

Emergency opening of the lock when the batteries are discharged.

In case you did not replace the batteries in time and found yourself in a situation where, due to a lack of power, the lock does not open. Samsung electronic locks provide the ability to connect backup or emergency power.

PACKAGING AND APPEARANCE

The Samsung SDS lock SHS-3320 comes with cardboard box from recycled paper, with this the company supports the ecology on earth.

The lock comes with two user manuals, in English and Russian. The user manual is quite detailed and clear, everything is painted and shown. Before installing the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock, be sure to read the entire manual carefully and slowly. After reading, during installation and configuration, you will not have any questions at all.

The Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock is delivered partially disassembled in a plastic container.

The entire package of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock, as you can see, everything is provided up to self-tapping screws. For installation, you only need a tool.

Now let's look at the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock in more detail. The inner block of the lock has at the bottom mechanical lock round shape opening/closing. Above it is a button for opening / closing the lock with an electric drive.

The front panel of the indoor unit with a button and the Samsung logo is removable, under it there is a battery compartment and a button for programming.

View from the back of the indoor unit of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock

Having removed the back panel together with the sealing rubber gasket, in front of us is the main board, the so-called brain of the lock and the drive electric motor.

Let's take a closer look at the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock board, all open contacts on the board, solders, chip pins, etc. filled with a protective, transparent coating.

Now before us outdoor unit lock Samsung SDS SHS-3320 with a touch panel and a turnkey cylinder.

On the side of the outdoor block of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock there are two contacts. They are needed in case you suddenly, after a week of warnings about the low batteries, did not replace them. Your lock is de-energized, and there are no keys at hand, then you will need output contacts. They are designed to supply external energy from a 9 V battery, commonly called the CROWN. Bring the battery terminals to the contacts of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock, the lock comes to life and you can enter a password or use an RF card to open the door. And then replace dead batteries. The declared service life of one set of batteries in the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock is one year / 12 months. But if the lock is installed in a walk-through, office location, it is logical that the batteries will run out much faster.

The crossbar of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock is telescopic and has two working lengths.
folded/shortened as shown in photo

And in the expanded / elongated state, an example in the photo

The Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock is equipped with two ordinary keys, as well as four RF cards of two different designs.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

The instructions for the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock have a pattern for the lock. Using it, you can easily cut holes in the door leaf without any problems. Or replace the existing lock in the door with Samsung SDS SHS-3320, it perfectly fits into standard locks and handles.

We insert the crossbar of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock and fasten it.

Next, we hang the inner and outer blocks of the lock and attach the magnetic sensor to the slope of the door frame. This sensor is needed so that when you close door frame, the lock automatically worked to close the door. Also, this sensor is needed if the door was broken into or opened without entering the lock code. Then an audible alarm will sound in the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock (it will be shown in the video below).

This is how the outer block of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock looks like.

Checking with a mechanical key correct work lock bolt.

If everything is in order, then we proceed to check the operation and programming the electronic part of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock.
RF cards are not programmed into the lock, they must be pre-registered. This procedure is very detailed and clearly described in the instruction manual for the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock. Up to 70 RF cards can be registered in the castle, which is enough a large number of and enough for a small work team (when installing a Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock in the office).

After we have registered the RF cards, we can begin the visual work of the castle.
This video shows how the lock is opened with inside using the button. And after closing the door, the lock sensor, having equaled on the same plane with the magnetic sensor, gives the lock a signal to automatic closing doors.

A visual demonstration of the operation of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock (in the open position), for better visibility of the operation of the bolt and time delays.
Factory password: 1234
The first way to open the lock with a password.
The password is entered in the following sequence.
First, touch the touch screen, two numbers appear (each time in arbitrary numbering), click on them.
Next, the entire dial of the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock lights up and then enter your password and then press the asterisk (*). That's it, the lock opens.
The second way to open the lock with an RF card
The first part of the input is standard with an arbitrary two digits.
Further, after the appearance of the dial, bring the RF card to the icon at the bottom of the dial and the lock opens.

Someone will ask why you need to enter arbitrary two numbers? This is additional protection, if for example you have a short four-digit code, then by constantly pressing the same numbers on your screen, only the fingerprints of these numbers will be visible. And this will simplify the selection of a combination to the castle.
With each input of arbitrary two digits, you constantly leave fingerprints on different digits and it will simply not be realistic for attackers to pick up the code in this way.
The video shows how the entire panel is in prints, although only the standard factory code 1234 was entered

The next video will demonstrate how the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock reacts audible alarm against burglary or unauthorized entry.
The sound is not very loud, but quite squeaky and annoying.
It will not turn off by closing the door, it will also not work if you press the open / close button. Disabling the alarm is possible only by entering a password or de-energizing the lock.

It is very easy to de-energize the lock by opening the cover on indoor unit lock Samsung SDS SHS-3320. Opening the lid also replaces the batteries if the batteries are exhausted.

Even in the Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock, a fire sensor is built in, as the manufacturer claims, in case of fire and the sensor is triggered, the lock will automatically open. This is done in order not to block the exit routes in case of fire, and everyone knows that in a panic, human behavior is not predictable. Therefore, the manufacturer correctly foresaw this moment.

CONCLUSION

Let's summarize this review.
In our modern world no one is surprised by such a castle. Used in many places combination locks and locks with RF cards, also locks with fingerprints. Many large and not very large companies use similar locks from different manufacturers in office space. But outwardly, not all locks fit the design of the interior or even look vulgar.
The Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock looks great and modern, the designers did a good job. This lock is perfect for offices / firms on the door of departments or cabinets. Clients of firms that will install stylish locks from Samsung will definitely appreciate general style and modern approach to the interior. And leave good impression to the client, the key to the success of the company / firm.
It is also possible to install a Samsung SDS SHS-3320 lock in a house/apartment on interior and balcony doors. Close the office/bar/balcony from children's access. Of course someone can and install on front door, but everyone will decide for himself, I would not risk it.
