After using the MENGQI-CONTROL Keypad Reader for over a year in my small gym, I can confidently say it’s one of the best investments I’ve made. The setup was surprisingly straightforward—even for someone with minimal technical experience. The included video guides and wiring diagrams were lifesavers, and the desktop USB reader made registering new users a breeze.

What really stands out is the flexibility. I can control who accesses the gym and when, whether it’s via card, PIN, or both. The auto open/close feature is perfect for our 24/7 operation—no more worrying about manually locking up at night. And with a heavy-duty strike lock that stays secure even during power failures, I never have to stress about unauthorized entry.

The software is intuitive once you get the hang of it, though I’ll admit I had to watch the programming video a couple of times. The ability to check entry logs remotely via the phone app is a huge plus—especially when I forget my fob but still need access. My only gripe? The app could use an update for newer Android versions.

Customer support deserves a special shoutout. Every time I had an issue (usually due to my own oversight), they responded quickly—often with helpful videos or step-by-step solutions. For the price, this system outperforms far more expensive commercial alternatives. If you need reliable access control without breaking the bank, this is it.
