There’s a great review of KwikSet’s SmartScan biometric door lock at the Chicago Tribune this week.  Here are some of the cool points:

• Self-burglary is really tough these days, so make sure you never get locked out of your house again!
• The SmartScan device looks deep into the innards of your finger
• Prevents fraud
• Allows the technology to work when your finger is dirty, wet, or cut
• Won’t work on a dismembered finger
• Set up as many as 50 fingerprint profiles
• Create an access schedule for each fingerprint profile
• If your children aren’t home by curfew, they will be automatically locked out
• Along the same lines, prevent your kids from getting into the house during school hours - stop them skipping classes!
• Ensure your cleaner, maid, carer etc. gets access to your home only at specified times
