Secure Your Door With BioAXXIS BD1- XL Fingerprint Deadbolt

BioAXXIS BD1- XL Fingerprint Deadbolt, which is a combination key/fingerprint reader door lock allows you to store up to 30 different fingerprints, and has a class 3 deadbolt. This lock is great for most homes and businesses.

If required, you can plug up the key slot and make it only accessible with a fingerprint it recognizes and it does not attach to the outside of the door, it pokes through your door, and can handle down to -30F in the winter, and 150F in the winter. Maybe the only impractical thing is the fact that it operates on 4x AA batteries (if it consumes a lot of power).
