Fingerprint Locks

Are you tired of searching for your door key when you come home with arms full of groceries. Want to go for a walk or for a jog and not have to carry a key with you. If the answer is yes, then a fingerprint lock just might be for you.

How Does a Fingerprint Lock Work?

A fingerprint lock combines a regular lock cylinder with a digital keypad and fingerprint reading hardware and software. With most of these locks, you can either punch in a code for access or use your fingerprint. This is great if you have maid services or other contractors to let in.

To use the lock, the user must first program the lock with their fingerprints. The lock will store a record of the fingerprint and will only open if it recognizes the pattern. Most locks will store in the neighborhood of 50 different prints. More than enough for the average family.

How Secure Are Fingerprint Locks?

They are very secure locks. Because of the uniqueness of the human fingerprint, it is nearly impossible to fool. No two fingerprints are alike.

Fingerprint locks can also be safer than conventional locks. Instead of fumbling for keys in the dark, you can simply place your thumb on the lock and enter your home. It will make it much quicker to get into your house.
