Do you hate fumbling around for keys to get into the house? If you’re bringing in groceries, or carrying kids in tow, it can be a nuisance to find that key. And what about locking the kids in the house - or your kids locking themselves in the house? Wouldn’t it be great to have your key literally “on you” at all times? BioLokR aims to do that by incorporating a biometric fingerprint into the outside deadbolt housing. And it doesn’t look corporate either. The stylish picture above is actually a set by Kwikset - another biometric doorknob supplier. See below for address.

A company called Kwikset also has a biometric deadbolt series, which is pictured above. The unit can store up to 50 fingerprint signatures. It takes a sub dermal reading, so cuts will not affect its ability to read the fingerprint. The unit also stores the fingerprint signatures in non-volatile flash memory. So, you don’t have to re-input fingerprints if the batteries run out.  Cost is the hindering factor, with most units in the $250 range.
