Fingerprint and biometric door locks are everywhere. It seems like every second home security system advertises retina/thumbscan/iris scanning or fingerprint reading as its main selling point, claiming they're the “safest” mechanism there is to protect your home.
The idea of an impregnable barrier right there in your very own home is a comforting thought and surely gets you thinking: “How safe are fingerprint door locks?”
The use of these digital devices has grown so much over the last decade that it is now considered as one of the most reliable ways to protect your home or business from theft or break-ins.
The only way to go through the fingerprint door access system is with your fingerprint or palm print which makes them very secure. If someone else tries to enter without permission, they will not be able to open the door because it will not recognize their print as yours.
How safe is the fingerprint door access system?
The big advantage is security. A fingerprint scanner is much more secure than a traditional keypad lock, since it can't be cracked with a master key or copied by someone who has access to your keys. It also helps reduce the chances of people being able to break into a home if they have spare copies of the house keys (or if they know someone who does).
Benefits of the system
- Full control
Control who has access to your home or business with the fingerprint door access system. It's easy to add or remove people from your access list at any time through an app on a phone. You don't have to worry about keys being lost or stolen— just change the settings on your phone and anyone who doesn't have access anymore won't be able to get in with their fingerprint anymore either. If someone does manage to get into the house without permission (like if they break down a window), they won't be able to get back in without you knowing because you’ll be notified immediately if anyone tries opening an unlocked door with their fingerprint.
- Time saving option
These locks can save time by allowing you to bypass keypad entry altogether. If you have children who are old enough to enter their own code into a keypad lock but not old enough to remember it, this feature may be useful. You can also bypass keypad entry if someone else needs access to the home but doesn't know how to open the lock yet— such as a service technician or repairman.
- Easy setup
Most fingerprint door locks come with installation instructions that are easy to follow, so even novice DIYers can install them without calling in a professional. The most difficult part is drilling holes through the door frame, but this isn't difficult if you have an electric drill or screwdriver attachment on your power drill (and it may not be necessary if your door frame already has holes drilled in it).
