Every business has assets, information, technologies and so on that have to be protected from competitors and thieves that want to make some money off of the sale of confidential information.  Your company is going to want to layer security features like security cameras, encrypted computers, and locked doors on top of one another to deter and even prevent any theft or attempt at corporate espionage.

The bad thing about typical doors that use a bolt and key is that that key is a very weak link in the chain of security.  As is the locking mechanism itself.  The key can be lost and found by parties who would use it to unlawfully enter a building and steal what is inside.  That key can also be copied by someone with bad intentions on their mind.  But if you were to replace that old door’s key and locking mechanism with a fingerprint door lock, you can effectively remove those two weaknesses.

Fingerprint door locks rely on a person’s fingerprints to unlock.  Fingerprints are unique to each person and cannot be duplicated.  Also, fingerprints cannot be lost so you do not have to worry about someone picking it up off the side of the road.

When you think about the advantages of using a fingerprint lock to keep things secure, it makes sense to switch over.

When I say fingerprint door locks are “clutch” I mean they are a very important point of security for many businesses.  This is especially true with businesses who own proprietary products, prototypes, and confidential information.  A grand majority of people only have experience with a regular old door that is both locked and unlocked using a regular old metal key.  So what is so bad about that?  These keys can be lost.  If you are “lucky” they are simply lost forever, nowhere to be found.  But if you are not lucky, some unscrupulous individual might have already picked it up and will try to see what it unlocks.  With time and desperation enough they will eventually succeed.

But replace that old-fashioned door and lock with a fingerprint door lock and you will not have that problem.  The key to such a door is attached to you at all times so you run no risk of simply losing it.  And unlike keys, fingerprints cannot be duplicated.  You have so much security and control over who has access to that entrance that you will soon realize that having a regular door that uses a key is all but useless.  It is also less reliable.

“So we are going to be installing a new security system and door lock mechanisms soon.  After the recent attempt by thieves to pick the lock and break in I think it is the best time to upgrade our security.”

“Makes sense.  Will it be effective enough to stop or at least significantly slow down any future attempts?”

“Oh yes.  As part of our new security upgrades every door in the building is going to be installed with fingerprint door locks.”

“Really?  That is pretty cool.  How do those things even work?”

“In a nutshell, fingerprint door locks scan your thumb or any other finger for that matter and then matches it up with authorized prints in the database.  If it matches, you are in.  If not, you are out of luck.”

“Cool tech.”

“I agree.  With our old series of doors that needed locks we were unable to really keep track how many keys we made and who had what keys.  It was too hard to track who lost their keys so this will definitely get rid of that worry.  The lock also has a built-in tracking system that allows us to see who entered and exited each door; there was definitely no way we could have done that with keys.”

“True enough.”
