Biometrics Door Lock - Do They Take Forever To Work?

One of the biggest oppositions people to have to technology like a biometrics door lock is that it probably will take a long time to work. With the way businesses and even homes operate these days, waiting around just for a door to open is not an option at all.

Fortunately it seems that the authentication process only takes a few seconds. While there might be some variation based off the biometrics door lock you choose, you can feel good knowing that you won't have to stand at the door for 5 minutes for it to open.
The speed in which the identity is authenticated will be between 1-3 seconds. At times, the speed will be dependant on the model of the lock.

Kwikset Bump Proof Lock - Can You Add Person and Time Restrictions With A Biometric Lock?

When it comes to running your household, you have to have a lot more people in your house than you might like. If you need something repaired, you might have to hand over a key. Or maybe you have a cleaning person that has access to your house once a week while you're at work.

In those situations, you're setting yourself up for your key being replicated and your security being violated.

With a product like a Kwikset Bump Proof Lock, you can easily program someone into your door security system. But not only that, you can restrict when that person has access. Therefore, you know that a repairman who is only supposed to be there at night won't show up in the middle of the night as a burglar!
Restricted access can be controlled depending on the time or day of the week. That means you can give your cleaning person or math tutor entry to your home only during specific hours and lock them out at other times
