Biometric Door Locks

Biometric Door Locks - The Future Of Home Door Locks

Have you ever had issues with your door lock lately ? Loosing the key and having your family members wait outside until you climb a backdoor window to open the door from the inside ? And later replace the door lock with another expensive lock ? Here's where the biometric door locks come into play, solving a major and frustrating problem. Now, all your family members will use only their fingerprint to open the lock. This is the miracle of Biometric Technology today.  Its very accurate system of fingerprint recognition will store only certain information about your finger, not the entire image. Biometric Door Locks have a high level of security, speed and convenience and have gained considerable benefits over conventional door locks, keypad door locks, or card reader locks.

Compared with the hand reading method, fingerprint scanning technology has been proven more accurate and cost effective. The duplication of biometric fingerpint is almost impossible with the chance of 1 in one billionth. Biometric door locks guarantee security with something that cannot be lost, stolen or duplicated.

How does the biometric door lock system work ? The physical fingerprint is scanned and only certain features are stored in a database. Then later the authorized person has to use his fingerprint for identification.

How does a biometric door lock work ? The uniqness of a fingerprint is determined by the pattern of ridges and furrows. The scanner captures an image of the fingerprint and uses an algorithms to map the minutiae points.( Minutiae points are local ridge characteristics that occur at either a ridge bifurcation (split) or a ridge ending.)  This data is then stored in a database inside the lock, but not the image itself to prevent fraud. To reconstruct the fingerpint image from the mapping is  impossible.
