A fingerprint door lock for the 'burbs

With another Bond movie fast approaching, the timing for this item seems propitious. A biometrics company called Sequiam is marketing a battery-powered deadbolt lock that can is activated only with the swipe of an authorized fingerprint.

Perhaps most remarkable is not the technology but its price: $249, a fraction of what one would expect to pay for a product of Ian Fleming's imagination. Homeowners may also appreciate the nondescript appearance of the system, which uses a Black and Decker lock that would be inconspicuous on any front door. Now if only we could get our hands on a Cone of Silence to go with it, we'd be all set. (Thanks to Robert D. for the tip.)

I bought one of these

It's a really cool product. It doesn't turn your house into fort knox but what it does do is prevent you from having to fumble to find your keys. Also works great in the dark or when you are carrying some grocery bags. Highly recommended.

Great if you have kids

I saw this lock demoed at the Analog Devices booth at CES back last February. I've purchased 2 and the biggest advantage I've had with teenagers is I no longer worry about my kids giving the key to other teenagers to get in the house when we aren't home. Big help with teenagers and the ease of not fumbling with keys is remarkable.

These really are great locks. I review them in more detail on my site http://www.bestkeylesslocks.com/ I also talk about reseting the lock, and have instructions on how to program, how to use, faqs and more.

Finally. These locks look great and make the technology very discreet. Everything before had that tacky futuristic look to it. These biometric door looks are a great solution. You can find them online at shops like http://www.avidbiometrics.com
