The Laser Smart Internal Door Lock with Fingerprint uses an interior thumb latch to control locking behaviour.

HORIZONTAL POSITION - LOCKED MODE

- The door automatically relocks five seconds after unlocking.

- Only registered administrator fingerprints can unlock it.

- Regular user fingerprints cannot unlock the door in this position.

VERTICAL POSITION - OPEN MODE

- The door stays unlocked after opening, so anyone outside can open it without scanning a fingerprint.

- To lock it from outside while in this mode, scan your registered fingerprint twice within three seconds.

- When locked this way, both administrator and regular user fingerprints can unlock it.

When leaving, the manual gives two ways to secure the door: move the thumb latch back to locked before closing the door, or close the door in open mode and scan your registered fingerprint twice within three seconds.

If a regular user's fingerprint does not work, first check whether the thumb latch is horizontal. This may be expected behaviour rather than a failed registration.

IMPORTANT: Choose the locking mode carefully for the people who need access. The manual also documents a temporary lockout after repeated failed fingerprint attempts; see the fingerprint troubleshooting article.
