Fingerprint Locks?
Using your fingerprint to open a lock? These are all the rage among homebuyers. Would you like to have one of these on your house? I suppose you can always loose your key, but you always have your finger. Just Google and find the best one for you… http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aaxxisbiometrics.com+fingerprint+lock
Sometime back, electronic fingerprint readers have been introduced for security applications such as identification of computer users (log-in authentication). However, early devices have been discovered to be vulnerable to quite simple methods of deception, such as fake fingerprints cast in gels. In 2006, fingerprint sensors gained popularity in the notebook PC market. Built-in sensors in ThinkPads, VAIO laptops, and others also double as motion detectors for document scrolling, like the scroll wheel.
Another recent use of fingerprints in a day-to-day setting has been the increasing reliance on biometrics in schools where fingerprints and, to a lesser extent, iris scans are used to validate electronic registration, cashless catering, and library access. This practice is particularly widespread in the UK, where more than 3500 schools currently use such technology, though it is also starting to be adopted in some states in the US.
Never worry about losing your keys or having to make extra sets for your guests anymore. Fingerprint Lock is the solution for everyone.

It’s nifty, but I doubt I would bother putting it on my house. I imagine most robbers don’t bother to duplicate your key, they just force their way in or get you to open the door for them. That being the case I imagine you would be better off spending the money on a deadbolt that runs top to bottom on your door. Haven’t seen one of those yet though!

Unfortunate they are a little to easy to defeat. Mythbusters was able to defeat them several ways. They were even able to print a finger print onto paper and use it to open the lock.

Nearly 5 years ago I had someone try to break into my apartment. It was in the evening and the I had the lights off, but I wasn’t asleep. I heard someone trying to pry open the back door. I sneaked into the kitchen and flipped on the outside lights. It scared the burgler and I saw him run off. . I then called a couple burgler alarm companies in my area and they all gave installation and monitoring quotes.

That’s really the key of the future, may be present..but I don’t think this method will replace the current used keys for a long time.Because normal people are still used to the traditional key.

I think fingerprint locks are definatly the way forward. Unlike keys you cant get a copy of the print and the only people who have recognition are the people with the correct finger print.

I tried to used this kind of technology its quite effective because you cannot enter the office unless the machine verify your fingerprint. But i think theres a way to cheat this.

Mythbusters, a show on cable/ sat, did a special on these things. I was surprised at how easy the fingerprint locks where defeated. I would have though that they would be better.

I am interested in a portable fingerprint scan that would be able to wi-fi to a fingerprint database - the database would be of variable size.I’ve seen the door-lock fingerprint-scan locks, but they store limited numbers of prints - and they aren’t portable

It would be a good feature but I would not want it to be a stand alone feature for my door locks. It would be very easy to crack. I want it to be paired with a key security type then a voice activated lock. LOL!

Ya its good and hi tech too, but for traditional houses key is also necessary. Finger prints are very sophisticated, and those can be destroyed by intruders easily. So i would protect my home with something tougher
