If you’re looking for an easy way to enhance your home or offices security and lose that heavy key chain, look no further than a fingerprint door lock. Fingerprint door locks function similar to traditional key locks and deadbolts, only instead of using a key to unlock the lock, you can open and lock the door with just a press of your fingerprint.
Fingerprint door locks utilize biometric technology by capturing a unique record (through your fingerprint or thumb print) and allow access to anyone whose identity has been recorded as an authorized individual. Most fingerprint door locks use a spring type latch, have a handle and can be opened with either the fingerprint or a mechanical key.
How do you Install a Fingerprint Door Lock?
Easier then you think. Most biometric door locks only require one or two holes to be drilled into the door to mount and secure the lock or deadbolt. If you’re not up for the task, a local locksmith will usually install a lock for fifty to one hundred dollars depending on the specific door lock you buy.
Once you install a finger print door lock, you might wonder how you lived without one. No more fumbling through keys in the dark or locking yourself out of the house. Additionally, biometric door locks are generally more secure than traditional key units. They’re more resistant to breakins, as people can not simply pick the lock.
Also, some of the best fingerprint door locks have self locking mechanisms that lock themselves after the door has been closed for a specific amount of time (5, 10, 15 minutes, etc). This takes the worry out of wondering if you locked the door before you left.
Although the technology was off to a slow start, biometric door locks are now dependable, durable, and most of all affordable.
