1. How does fingerprint lock work?

It's simple:
a. place your finger on the fingerprint reader;
b. the system will verify your fingerprint and unlock the lock
c. rotate the handle to open the door

2.working Principle of Fingerprint Lock

Collect Samples: Take pictures of fingerprints for memory via fingerprint reader → Save templates and carry out authentication: Save and compare collected information received; the driver receives the signal operation to indicate if the door will be opened.

3. Safety of Fingerprints. 

The following major features are characteristic of human’s fingerprints:

a. Human’s fingerprints are of unique features. According to experts of fingerprints, the repetition probability of human’s fingerprints is one 5 billionth, and the accuracy and complexity of features are sufficient to meet the demand of extremely difficult identification;

b. With diversified selections, everyone can select more than 10 fingerprints;

c. It features to be steady and of reliable read access;

d. Collection of fingerprints is of non-destructive and non-sensitive collection which can be easily accepted by people whose fingerprints are collected.
Fingerprints required by Wenture ekoo Lock must be in vivo. Therefore, the safety is improved to some extent.

4. Impact of Fingerprint keypad lock on Real Estate Developers

If real estate developers select fingerprint keypad lock, it can notably enhance the class of housing project, realize intellectualization of building, do good to relieving sales pressure, and etc.

5. What if cut my finger when I was cooking and now have a minor scar on the finger? Will your fingerprint lock still recognize this finger?

With our special technology Minutiae Based Fingerprint Algorithm, our fingerprint lock recognizes a fingerprint by breaking it into fine details. As long as the majority part of the fingerprint is ok, there will be no problem in recognizing. After all, you have enrolled all of your fingers. Even though one of your finger is injured, you still can use the rest 9 fingers to open the door.

6.When battery runs out of electricity, will fingerprints or codes be lost?

The chip used to save fingerprints and codes in Wenture digital Door Lock is operated without electricity. When the capacity in battery is not sufficient, the alarm for low voltage will appear. Even after battery runs out of electricity, fingerprints or codes won’t get lost either.

7.Is the installation easy? Can I DIY?

Sure! The installation is absolutely easy. We have prepared the installation guide for you, you can DIY according to it. Or you can find some lock smith in your area. They can help you to install it for $50-100.

8.What is the life span of your fingerprint locks?

All the mechanic parts are made of stainless steel and the fingerprint scanner is a piece of special thick glass. Under normal usage, the lock could last for 10 years or longer.

Some of the locks are with single latches. Can criminal use a screwdriver to force it open from outside as the single latch is controlled by a spring?

No true. The special mechanic design make the latch a dead latch when it is locked. There's no way to use screwdriver or whatsoever to force the latch to open.

9.Why is fingerprint lock more secure?

Fingerprint is our physiological characteristic. Everyone has unique, universal and permanent fingerprint. No one else has the same fingerprint as you, and you will never lose it, you "fingerprint key" cannot be duplicated. What is more, combining with our special technology Minutiae Based Fingerprint Algorithm, our fingerprint lock recognizes a fingerprint by breaking it into fine details. Hence we say our fingerprint locks are more secure, in the sense of recognizing the key that ONLY you have, and in great details.

10.Why is fingerprint lock more convenient?

Fingerprint is part of your body. You are carrying it along with you, naturally. You will never need to worry about forgetting bringing it or losing it. With our fingerprint lock, you will never need to rush home for your playful kids who are locked outside because they lose their keys.

11.Is fingerprint biometrics technology robust and secure enough to be deployed in real world application today?

Fingerprint biometric security has been improving steadily for many years and has now emerged in several mainstream applications. Examples include authenticating users of Lenovo (IBM) ThinkPad notebook PCs, BioFlash portable USB flash drives, HID access control terminals, Brinks home safes and many other applications. The technology has been gaining market acceptance for years, and has seen rapid adoption by major enterprise and consumer products. 

12.Can you fake the sensors?

Spoofing sensors, is a concept often depicted in Hollywood, is more difficult than the movies would lead one to believe. Advanced silicon sensors capture 3D images and include specialized sensing capability to recognize the properties of real fingers, making it difficult to bypass these systems. No solution is perfect, but there has been a steady increase in the capability of leading solutions, offering added security benefits to users.

13.Does using my finger for authentication present a risk to my privacy?

Using fingerprints to identify individuals may have been associated with law enforcement applications in the past. However, in commercial applications today, fingerprint systems do not need to save the full fingerprint image to work reliably. Instead, these systems generally store just fingerprint template. A fingerprint template is a mathematical representation of the unique aspects of your finger, but it can not be converted back into the original fingerprint. Think of a template as the Password stored in your fingerprint. These systems read this fingerprint password and eliminate the rest of the fingerprint information. This method allows the system to determine if you are who you claim to be, but without requiring a full fingerprint image. Electronically, fingerprint templates are also smaller in size, sometimes as much as 1/500th the size of the data that would make up the original fingerprint. This compact size allows for faster matching and smaller memory storage requirements. 

14.Does it take a lot of processing to make a fingerprint authentication work well?

Actually, leading devices come with the fingerprint sensor and a co-processor integrated into a single package. These devices allow this technology to be used in devices without having to understand the details of a biometric subsystem. These intelligent devices can be used to capture and match fingerprint information, without ever having to send the fingerprint information outside of the system. This integrated approach improves both the security of the system and offers better privacy protection for users.
