Tools and Hardware Reviews of Morning Industry PAKK-01SN Keypad Knob Entry, Satin Nickel
Customer Review: Good product, easy to install and easy to operate.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. Very easy to install. Because this is a replacement of an existiong lock, it took me about a hour to get everything setup. Setting up the code, locking and unlocking are all very easy to do.
If you lock or unlock the door manually, you do have to hit the "lock" and/or "unlock" key to reset it. Otherwise, the operation is simple and easy.
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product, it is easy to install and it works well. I think it is priced a little high, but it is a great prodcut.Customer Review: Had 2 and both stopped working within 6 months.
Summary: 1 Stars
Five years ago, purchased two Morning Industry locks (that still work to this day). Later, when we wanted to add keyless locks to the other outside doors, Morning Industry had re-designed the locks. We bought two and the unlock function on both doors began working sporatically, requiring more and more attempts to get the doors to unlock. Then, they simply wouldn't unlock the doors - all within 6 months. Keyless Entry Locks are not cheap and, if I had it to do over again, I would not invest the time and money for this keypad lock.Customer Review: Hard to turn
Summary: 1 Stars
I am an old man and have lost the strength in my hands. I find this lock is almost impossible for me to open from either side. My wife cannot open. I have contacted the company and they say it can be fixed - waiting for instructions. If I can not get it to work easier I will have to return it. Hopefullly the company will come through or perhaps be able to install handles instead of a knob. Otherwise the hardest part of the installation was connecting the wires. I would like to have a combination that would have to be used before programming. Anyone can remove the little screw and then program their own numbers - and you would never know. They also could push one button to delete all the codes. Not as secure as it could be because of this. It is one little screw secure.
UPDATE
I talked to the company and they said to use some oil. Did give me a choice to return the knobs and when they received them they would send handles. I had to pay freight both ways and they had to receive the knobs before they would send the handles - in the meantime a door without hardware. They say they have had the complaint before. I will return to Amazon and not buy another one like this. They seemed to not really care about helping a customer to any degree.
Customer Review: Hard to turn due to the latch design problem
Summary: 2 Stars
This otherwise great lock has a huge design flaw with its simplest part - the latch, which makes the knob hard to turn. If you compare the latch design to a latch by any other manufacturer, you'll notice that the flaps that move the latch when the knob is rotated are moved very far from the center of the cam compared to other latches. The resulting angles of the contact between the cam and the flaps cause the moving part of the latch to stick and make it very difficult to start rotating the knob at the very beginning of the latch movement.
After experiencing the problem and finding out occasional complains by other people in web reviews, I contacted the company and received the replacement latch. It is a bit better, but is still much harder than a Weiser latch I had before. After comparing the latches, I found this problem mentioned above. It must be obvious to any mechanically inclined person that such a design will cause problems, as it does. I wonder why the company did not fix this easy-to-fix design problem with such a simple part, whose design must have been time-proven by the centuries of use...
I though of using the Weiser latch (which moves easily) with this lock, but unfortunately the square hole that engages the latch with the knob in this lock is bigger, making the swap impossible...
