What Are The Real Life Benefits?

Fingerprint door locks are not only cool in space, on a rockstars house, or a 13 year old kid, they are cool and extremely beneficial wherever you install one! Why? Because they have never experienced anything like this! Imagine coming home with your hands full of packages and don’t want to have to fumble around for the right key, instead, you can wiggle a finger free and put it on your new fingerprint door lock… presto, the door is unlocked! Now imagine not ever having to look around for your keys when you are leaving…. then while your out, never worrying about losing them! We all know someone in our family or friends that is ALWAYS losing their keys. This entire fear is obsolete when using a fingerprint door lock. You will really enjoy not having to worry about your keys. Soon, you will have this feeling and let me tell you, life gets easier, problems about keys don’t occur and eventually, you will feel that your fingerprint door lock is a good purchase, possibly the most convenient one you ever made!

How Do You Operate A Fingerprint Door Lock?

Most fingerprint door locks have 3 ways to open them: mechanical key override, keypad-code, and fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader is good for normal users, the keypad can be used for one time entrance by visitors, and the mechanical key override can also be used in case of emergency or dead battery. You really don’t have to worry about a dead battery because most versions come with a 9 volt battery attachment on the outside for emergency uses, and most also have another battery for fingerprint storage so after changing the batteries, you don’t have to enroll all the fingerprints again.

What Applications Are Used In A Fingerprint Door Lock?

There are 3 basic fingerprint door lock applications: springlatch, deadbolt, and mortise. Springlatch locks are the most common type of inside door lock, they are on most inside doors like bath rooms, closets, offices, etc. To know if your lock is a springlatch, push in the latch and if it is springloaded, that means it is a springlatch. Next is a deadbolt, a deadbolt is most commonly found on the front doors of homes. Is is more secure than a springlatch lock, but only available for certain applications. The last kind of fingerprint door lock is the mortise latch. This is a commercial style latch found on most commercial locations that need higher security and also have higher use, therefore, this highly secure and durable latch is the choice for high-tech, highly secure environments. Most fingerprint  locks come in the springlatch versions, but there are still deadbolt and mortise models made.

What About Reliability?

A few years ago, the technology was just not there yet and even expensive fingerprint door locks were not reliable. Now, 2007, yes they are very reliable. They do not jam up, most open on the first finger scan, the keys overrides work great, the batteries last about a year, and give out chirps when they are getting low, just like a fire detector does. Most also have a 9v battery connection for added reliability.

How About Security?

The security is the same as a normal springlatch, deadbolt, or mortise door lock, however, using biometric technology, another name for fingerprint technology, is added security, also, there is not a normal key slot, is is a specialized key override that most fingerprint door locks have, making it unpickable. Some fingerprint door locks have an auto-lock feature makes the lock behind you, automatically, this feature can be disabled, but is really a great feature!

How Easy Is The Installation?

Honestly, it depends… The springlatch and deadbolt models are pretty easy to install. Most are a clean swip-swap, they might require 1 or 2 holes drilled, but come with easy to use drilling templates. Usually, the mortise fingerprint door locks need to be routed out and professional installation is recommended. If you are completely non-handy person, you can probably call your local locksmith to install it between $75 and $100, but most people can easily install fingerprint door locks.

How Many Fingerprints Can the Door Lock Hold?

Amazingly, most hold at least 75 and other models much more. Installation is easy, most require ‘admin’ fingerprints to be programmed in first, then they can register new fingerprints and delete them if needed. Regular fingerprints cannot add or delete new fingerprints.

All in all, these top 8 questions should help you decide if a fingerprint door lock is right for your application. My conclusion is that they are good for homes, offices, apartment complexes and many other applications where the owner wants increased security, ease of use and convenience of not having keys.
