How Does A Fingerprint Door Lock System Work

Ever wondered how fingerprint door lock works? While it may seem like magic, it uses a specific kind of technology: biometrics. This technology is great because it relies on the distinctive parts of our anatomy, like our fingerprints, to identify individuals. That is done to ensure that no two people would have similar fingerprints. Therefore, using fingerprint door locks is an extremely secure and dependable method for unlocking a door.

Here’s How Fingerprint Scanning Works

Let’s discuss what happens if you use a fingerprint scanner. It snaps a close-up photo of your fingerprint when you touch your finger on the scanner. This image is extremely detailed, and some of the fine columns and bumps on your finger come out as well. The then scanner snaps the photo and converts it into a specific code. It is saved in the system like the way you save your best games or pictures on your computer.

Next time you want to walk through the door, you will again put your finger on the scanner. The scanner will take a fresh picture of your fingerprint and compare it with the code it stored earlier. If this new image matches what code is saved, the door will unlock for you. But if it doesn't match, the door will remain locked, keeping your space safe, protected, secure.

Securing the storage of fingerprint data

Getting to know that the fingerprint information is saved in a different memory location known as a database in the fingerprint door lock system. This database is encrypted. Encryption is a fancy word for scrambling your data into a secret code that is nearly impossible for anyone else to read. This ensures that your fingerprint data is kept secure from hackers or anyone else that does not need access to it.

People who have access to this database are the only ones that can view the information saved there. Usually, they can only enter with a special key or password. That way your fingerprint data is secure and you can rest assured only verified users can gain access.

FINGERPRINT DOOR LOCKS: ADVANTAGES

There are lots of benefits of fingerprint door locks over traditional key locks. Convenience is one of the biggest advantages. You never have to worry about losing your keys or forgetting a password ever again. Fingerprint locks do not require you to carry keys because your fingerprint is always with you. It’s almost like a magic key that you always have!

Fingerprint door locks are also safer than normal door locks. This makes it almost impossible for someone to replicate your unique fingerprint. In other words, even if someone tried to break in, they wouldn’t be able to use a key that resembles yours because your fingerprint is unique. Plus, they also let you decide who can and cannot enter your home — without a spare key. You can always save new fingerprints here or delete the previous ones.

Fingerprint Technology Vs Traditional Key Lock

So, let’s compare fingerprint door locks to traditional key locks. Standard key locks require a physical key to unlock the door. These keys can be lost, stolen, or even duplicated by someone else. So they are more unsafe than fingerprint door locks. There are also key locks where you have to remember to take your key with you every time you step out of the house, which can be cumbersome.

Whereas, fingerprint door locks end the use of keys altogether. That means you won't have to fret about leaving your key at home or losing it somewhere. With a fingerprint lock, you just have to put your finger on the scanner and it will let you in. Overall, these attributes make these locks a more convenient and secure option for safeguarding your home.

This is why fingerprint door locks rely on biometric technology that scans and stores unique fingerprint data. That data is securely encrypted and constantly verified whenever someone hovers their finger over the scanner. Ease of use, security, and quick access are just some of the benefits of a fingerprint door lock vs a key lock. Clearly a smart fingerprint door lock makes a better and safer option for securing your home. So if you are looking to take advantage of biometric technology, get a Kaisstar fingerprint door lock for your home. You will definitely enjoy the convenience and safety it offers!
