Biometric Locks

Biometric locks utilize the uniqueness of human body features to offer convenience and enhanced security in residences, businesses and government installations. These keyless locks predominantly make use of fingerprint scanning technology, and sometimes retinal scanning, iris scanning and voiceprint identification.

The advantage of biometric locks is a high degree of safety. Users must be pre-registered so that their unique fingerprint is stored in the system. It is difficult for potential intruders to copy a fingerprint, compared to the relative ease of copying a stolen key or picking a traditional lock.

Multiple fingerprints or other authenticating features can be registered in a biometric lock, so frequent house guests and regular employees may be placed in the system. In addition, biometric locks offer a smart solution for children who are apt to lose keys.
