Fingerprint door locks are an incredible digital creation. You don’t have to deal with the hassle of keys. You don’t have to remember any codes. You don’t have to do anything. You just have to put your finger on it and the lock’s open. This is one of the best ways to keep unwanted people away from places they are not wanted. Widely used in homes and offices, fingerprint door locks come as an expensive gadget but are worth the use.
The following article lists the best fingerprint door locks you can find in the market today.

“Arrived in 6 days. I bought this for my parents as a gift for house warming party. I didn’t install it yet. Two things I don’t like so far: 1. It looks like you need to drill a small hole in the door for the wire to go through. 2. It’s not waterproof. So if you don’t have a storm door, I wouldn’t recommend it. The things I like: fast fingerprint reading, build quality, design and functionality. Perfect for the office, hotels and some houses/apartments. I’ll update after installation.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

7. Trinity Fingerprint Door Lock ($124.95)
This is Adel Trinity’s reversible handle fingerprint door lock. The unit has three available methods including fingerprint, keypad and key. The construction of the knob is good, and the instructions are pretty straight forward. If you face any difficulty, refer to its tutorial on youtube. A good buy!
“Love this product, working flawlessly for me so far. I like that you have the hidden key backup, which is not all that easy to use for someone who is unfamiliar with it, considering the key is not removable in the unlock position which prevents the handle from being placed back onto the assembly until it’s returned to the locked position. Also, even if someone knows, guesses, or reads the backup code from anywhere in the building, entering the code is not as simple as simply entering the numbers, and can be a bit time consuming. A positive to me since you want the easiest trouble free means of using your fingerprint to be the primary mode of operation and any backup work around to be a bit more tedious. I will say that someone in the building has a difficult time with this lock, but I suspect that anyone doing a lot of woodwork, sanding projects without gloves (in effect sanding down their fingerprints) would have this same problem with any biometric device that uses fingerprints.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

Once I sorted through this, it got easier. All tools needed for the installation were included along with a set of keys for emergency use if needed.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

“Great, best on Amazon!
The back panel has a tiny screw, which I lost almost immediately. Also, the back panel doesn’t have a way to be removed easily since it’s seamless with the rest of the handle. I had to put a piece of tape on it and pull the tape to get it off. I eventually cut a tiny 0.25″ corner of the back panel, so I had a place to pull with my finger. Still the best on Amazon.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

“I am so happy I bought this lock. I’m using it in my garage, and it works so wonderfully. I hardly ever have misreads on my fingerprint, and it was easy to install. It works well in the cold weather too. It locks automatically when closed, and it’s just amazing. I had originally purchased the August Smart Lock and was so unhappy with the way it didn’t respond and took forever to load up, but this is definitely what I needed. I would recommend this. The only downside is that if you are going to use a code it has to be eight digits from 0-3, but the fingerprint option has been working just great for me.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

“I like this product, It took me 7 hours to install it, now it works perfect, the installation manual does work, but you need to guess many things to fix it, easy to operate and pretty fancy!! I like the fact I do not use any key to enter the house; it has a fingerprint mode, password mode, key tag mode, and regular key; I just use the fingerprint mode, the one I like the most.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

“Great product. No longer do I fumble in my pockets to find a key to my door. So far the product survived a boiling summer with full sun exposure in the afternoon and continued to work without any problems on the same battery for half a year now. I must say installation was a bit of a hassle. Luckily I got a lot if help from my family with that. They used power tools and drilled additional holes in my door to install this lock. The jingle sounds are a nice safety feature if the door is left ajar to remind you to shut it properly. The door closes behind you whether you are coming and going. It has made my life easier, and I would recommend it as long as you have power tools and know how to use them to install this Samsung lock.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

1. Ardwolf Fingerprint Door Lock ($129.99)
This is Ardwolf’s keyless, fingerprint reader door lock. There are five ways to unlock the door, i.e., fingerprint, user code, mechanical key and two dual-verification modes (code & fingerprint, fingerprint & fingerprint.) The unit has a capacity of 100 prints and 100 user codes and can easily work for multi-user. There is an integrated built-in touch sensor for one-touch unlock. The handle can be adjusted for both rights as well as left-handers. The passage support mode stays open and can be disabled instantaneously using any user code or fingerprint(recognised.)
“For a fingerprint device, it’s excellent. I feel like this is still a relatively new technology, and the lock does a fair job. I can get it to unlock on the first try, most every time. The only time it doesn’t work right away, is if my hands are really dry. The explain in the instructions that dry or dirty hands can keep it from reading your print correctly, which only makes sense. The fingerprint has a little delay, while it scans your print, but it’s faster than digging for a key or punching in a four-digit code plus the # sign to enter the code. I do like this unit, and it gets used daily. I would give it five stars if fingerprint recognition were a little faster.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.
