Keyless Lock
Have you ever seen those houses with keyless lock ie those locks that recognise your fingerprint instead of using keys? I’ve never actually seen one in real life, but quite occassionally I’ve seen it on TV especially in Korean TV series. I always go like…wow, that’s so advanced. Wish I had the same for my house… no need to search all over for keys, right? Just scan your thumbprint and you’re in. Like the ones that you can get online at Axxis Biometrics.
There are a few problems that might arise from this, though. What if in the case of emergency, you need someone else to access your house. Obviously, you can’t pass your fingerprint to your friend and ask him/her to get into your house. LoL! There is a way that you can program fingerprints of someone else other than yourself and grant them temporary access but doesn’t that mean you have to do it in advance? So in the case of unexpected emergency, there is no way you can get your friend to help you especially if you’re living alone.
Also, I believe it might be hard (and costly) to find someone to fix your fingerprint lock if there’s a problem with it. With normal locks, you can simply ask any locksmith to fix it. So unless fingerprint keyless lock goes mainstream, I guess I will stick with the old fashion locks. What’s your say?
