How Secure is Your Home, Business or Office?

Fingerprint locks are the ideal solution for any area where you wish to restrict access to authorized personnel. Some areas of application are computer rooms, store rooms, hospitals, schools, laboratories, executive offices, file rooms, check cashing facilities, banks, gun rooms, homes and apartments.

Columbus, Ohio February 16, 2004 -- In an increasingly uncertain world it is more important than ever that we know that only the people we want to have entry to our home, office or business can gain entry and that all other people do not have access.

Traditional key door locks, card locks and combination locks grant access based on what you have, a key or card, or what you know, a combination. All these methods are open to misuse and can allow unauthorized people to gain access, keys and cards can be lost, stolen or duplicated and passwords can be compromised allowing unauthorized people to gain access. Biometric fingerprint locks grant access based on who you are. Only people who are permitted to enter will be given access, all others will be denied entry.

Until now these locks were both expensive and required specialist installation and were not practical for homes or small businesses. 21st Century Locks supplies a range of affordable biometric fingerprint door locks and deadbolts suitable for home, business and office use.

Using a semiconductor type biometric fingerprint door lock makes it impossible to duplicate fingerprints onto any other physical medium and use it as a means of authentication. Currently it is the best and most economical authentication system in the world. Unlike optical fingerprint sensors it is a must that the enrolled users be physically present, and alive, to use it since it requires a small amount of body generated electric current as a basis for authentication. This gives unsurpassed security, as only enrolled users can access the system, said Rob van Gils, Vice President, Marketing, 21st Century Locks Ltd. In addition to offering unsurpassed security and convenience our fingerprint locks eliminate the need to manage keys and to re-key locks when keys are lost or stolen, said Rob van Gils.

The locks are battery powered (4 AA-size) and do not require electrical wiring or connection to a PC making for quick and easy installation.

Fingerprint locks are the ideal solution for any area where you wish to restrict access to authorized personnel. Some areas of application are computer rooms, store rooms, hospitals, schools, laboratories, executive offices, file rooms, check cashing facilities, banks, gun rooms, homes and apartments.
