- Which is better for an outdoor gate?
- The Vevor suits a gate that needs entry from one side, since it is mechanical and needs no batteries. The IU32 fits gates that need keypads on both sides, but it depends on batteries and its weather sealing is not spelled out.
- Which lasts longer?
- The Vevor has no electronics or batteries to fail, so its zinc alloy body and mechanism set its life. The IU32 runs about a year on 4 AAA batteries and adds electronic parts that can wear or fail.
- Is the IU32 worth the extra money?
- Yes if you need two-sided keypad entry, up to 50 codes per side, or adjustable auto-lock timing. If you only need one shared code on one side, the Vevor does that for $45.90.
- Can I give each person their own code on the Vevor?
- No. The Vevor uses one combination of 4-7 characters, shared by everyone. The IU32 supports up to 50 codes per keypad.
- What happens if the IU32 batteries die?
- It beeps when the battery is low, and a USB-C port provides emergency power. The Vevor has no batteries, so this does not apply to it.
- Will either fit my door?
- The Vevor fits doors 1.4"-2.5" thick and includes 2.3" and 2.7" latches. The IU32 listing does not state door thickness or latch sizes, so check with the seller before buying.
