Fingerprint Recognition Technology Makes Door Lock Keys a Thing of the Past
This release announces the new M28 Fingerprint Door Lock. An innovative security device that combines a conventional door lock with high precision biometric fingerprint recognition technology.
(PRWEB) January 25, 2005 -- Doors have locks to keep unauthorized people out
of course. Unfortunately, the reality is that door keys get lost, duplicated, or
even worse… stolen. MATA BioTech has developed a biometric door lock designed to
recognize the authorized user’s fingerprint in order to open a door, making
conventional keys unnecessary.
In these troubling times when security is
of critical concern, the M28 Fingerprint Door Lock delivers an improved solution
to an age old dilemma. The M28 is easily installed on just about any standard
door and provides businesses and homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that
only the fingerprints of authorized users can access the lock.
Forget
about fumbling for your keys. Simply place your finger on the door lock and in
less than 3 seconds, it recognizes you and you’re in. Never worry about losing
keys or unauthorized duplication…ever! More importantly, secure any room with
the most unique key on earth… your fingerprint.
How does it work? The
user gently presses their finger against the sensor surface. This sensor is
connected to a microprocessor inside the lock. The information from the scan is
analyzed. If verification of the fingerprint is successful, the lock mechanism
opens allowing you to turn the handle and open the door. Initially, a
fingerprint is scanned and enrolled right on the lock, and it is instantly
converted into a mathematical template. This template is a data representation
of the fingerprint. It is stored in the memory of the lock, and later used
during verification.
“Its a common problem that happens to all of us; we
misplace, lose, or have even had our keys stolen,” said Dr. Olman Mata president
of MATA BioTech. “It’s a simple fact, keys, pin codes, passwords, or proximity
cards are convention access methods that can be stolen, lost, or passed on to
unauthorized users. Biometric methods cannot be stolen lost or copied. Your
fingerprint is unique and no one can steal that from you.”
The M28
Fingerprint Door lock can store up to 10 fingerprints, and has the unique
ability to enroll and delete individual fingerprints from its memory without
having to erase all stored fingerprints. All this is easily and quickly done
right on the lock, without the need of a computer link, or technical knowledge.
Three identical mechanical keys are included to manually open the door if so
desired.
Very easy to install and even easier to operate. It can replace
just about any door knob or door handle using the door’s existing bore hole.
Solid heavy duty construction yet stylish in design, it is made from durable
zinc-alloy metal. This lock is suitable for home or office and requires no hard
wiring or complicated door modifications. The M28 is powered by four standard AA
alkaline batteries that are included. Battery life is 8 months to a year
depending on usage. When the battery power is low, the unit produces an audible
warning signal. The lock will even operate dozens of times before the batteries
are fully depleted. When the batteries are removed and replaced, the enrolled
fingerprints remain in memory.
Dr. Olman Mata integrates his knowledge of
human biology and electronic circuitry to design and manufacture affordable
innovative biometric devices. The company is also known for the G10 fingerprint
drawer lock, and they are also developing a biometric briefcase with fingerprint
recognition technology. MATA BioTech is based in Southern California. For more
