In-Wall Biometric Safes

Biometric Wall Safes, also referred to as Fingerprint Wall Safes, are wall safes that are fitted with a biometric fingerprint lock. A fingerprint wall safe has a built-in fingerprint reader. To open a biometric wall safe, you simply swipe your finger on the fingerprint reader. The fingerprint reader compares its scan of your fingerprint with its record of authorized fingerprint scans. If there is a match, the safe will open. If not, the user will be denied entry. Modern in-wall biometric safes are fitted with quality fingerprint locks and are highly reliable....[Read More]

Biometric wall safes have a number of advantages over wall safes with other available locking mechanisms, such as key-locks, dial combination locks, and electronic locks with digital keypads. One advantage is that you don�t have to worry about being locked out of your safe because you have lost the key to the safe or you have forgotten or misplaced the combination to the safe. With biometric locks, your finger is your key, which you always have with you. Another advantage of wall safes with biometric fingerprint locks is that they can be programmed to accept several fingerprint scans from several authorized users, such as all the members in your household or some subset, such as only the adults in the household. You can even program a biometric fingerprint lock to accept several of your own fingers.

There are a couple of disadvantages of fingerprint wall safes. The first, and primary disadvantage of safes with this lock type, is that there are very few of them currently available. As a result, size and construction options are very limited. Another disadvantage of wall safes with biometric fingerprint locks is their cost. All else equal, a wall safe with a biometric fingerprint lock will retail for approximately $150-$300 more than a model with a traditional electronic lock with a digital keypad.

Wall safes with biometric fingerprint locks often have one or more backup entry options, such as a mechanical key override or a secondary digital keypad. Although modern fingerprint readers are quite reliable, backup key locks and secondary digital keypads are still potentially very useful because they provide a means of access in case something goes wrong, such battery failure or water damage.
