What is a fingerprint lock? A fingerprint lock explained!

A fingerprint lock is a modern locking system in which the authorization to open the lock is determined by scanning a person’s biometric fingerprint. A microprocessor processes this information, and the locking mechanism subsequently unlocks the device only for pre-registered, authenticated individuals. Fingerprint locks are used not only for front doors but also for windows, cabinets, and lockers.

Proper use of a fingerprint lock

An advantage of security locks is the difficulty for burglars to forge a matching fingerprint. For the user, it is also convenient that no key has to be carried, which could be forgotten, and no (numeric) combination has to be memorized. In terms of security and convenience, the fingerprint lock therefore outperforms many other locking systems.

However, the fact that a door can be opened via fingerprint does not mean that only one person can access it. Many different fingerprints can be stored, in some fingerprint locks even up to 999. However, caution is required here: lending someone access is no longer just handing over a key so they can, for example, water plants or feed the cat while you are away. Instead, by storing their fingerprint, you grant them unrestricted access to your home until their fingerprint is deleted. And this is much easier to forget than retrieving a physical key.

It is also important to pay attention to low-battery warnings on fingerprint locks. If the battery is gradually weakening and only allows a limited number of door openings, it is essential to replace it in time. Do not get used to thinking after a warning signal that there is still enough time—take care of the battery replacement promptly.

In such cases, when the lock can no longer be opened via fingerprint, it is important to have an RFID medium available, because this technology allows the lock to be opened even if there are issues with fingerprint access. However, the required RFID media are not a standard component of fingerprint locks and must be purchased separately.

Since this is electronic equipment, it is highly recommended to install the lock in a location protected from large amounts of water, such as under a roof. A little splash water usually does not matter, but if heavy rain repeatedly hits the lock, its lifespan may be significantly reduced.
