Biometric Door Lock

Biometric door lock

A biometric door lock lets you enter a premises without a key, this is useful for offices as it would require too many keys to be given out, which in itself would be a security risk.

Biometric door locks can scan and store fingerprints of the relevant people for usage later. Some also need you to enter a PIN code once it has scanned your print.

Certain biometric door locks also have an internal battery in case the power is out, this is a useful feature. Otherwise, some have a keyhole as well for such situations. In some cases, there is also a slot for a mini-USB so one could use their power bank in case the battery is also dead.

Comments

Today a lot of locks that have biometric abilities are also smart locks, meaning one could use their WiFi connection to unlock the door even if they are not in the house or office.

Biometric door locks are about as safe as locks with keys, there is no real marked difference at this point in technology.

The price of this kind of lock is generally high, given it is a door lock.
