Fingerprint reader Idencom or Ekey?

Then we were misinformed by our window and door supplier. Maybe because he doesn't know much about it himself. We now have a security door that is secured with three or five bolts when it closes automatically. Sounds good - I wouldn't do it again, because these doors don't have that little pin that allows you to remove the lock, and when you are there, you can simply open the door. Well - now the key hangs on the outside of the door when we are home, so you don’t lock yourself out... and my husband still constantly misplaces his key. So we definitely have potential for improvement.

But since we live where [Fuchs und Hase sich Gute Nacht sagen] and most people don’t even lock their cars (and often, for convenience, leave the key in the ignition), I’m still relatively relaxed...

We also have ekey and if I understood the system correctly, it primarily scans the second-to-last finger joint and not the fingertip and secondly also not the fingerprint itself, but the veins lines underneath. So a fake print won’t help you anyway. We researched extensively before buying and found no case where this system was cracked.

We now have such a security door that is secured with three or five bolts when it closes by itself. Sounded good - wouldn’t do it again because these doors don’t have that one little pin to remove the lock and if you have that, you can simply open the door. Well - now the key hangs outside on the door when we are there so you don’t lock yourself out...

We also have these bolts AND the day/night switch. The "small pin" triggers a magnet that prevents the bolts from falling when the door is pulled shut. That way, it can also be forced open. So it’s also not a knockout criterion.

We now have a security door that is secured with three or five bolts as soon as it closes. Sounds good - I wouldn’t do that anymore because these doors don’t have that one latch with which you can remove the lock, and if you are there, you can simply open the door.

How was that again?
"... You just have to pull the latch through the loop and turn it all the way up with the small crank ..."

The "latch" in the case of the (house) door - caution: pun - is called a day latch :)

Yes, in some configurations the day latch is no longer included. We will soon get a new front door with electronic unlocking and 7-point locking. It will be opened with a fingerprint scan.
A numeric keypad or "proximity sensor" with transponder - like in a car - were also options. However, we prefer the keyless version.

I wasn't sure if the function is actually called that or really the "Nippel" :cool:

However, it should be added that the motor lock and the day latch ultimately exclude each other. Because with the motor lock, it pushes the door open independently after unlocking, which ultimately also prevents the door from fully closing with a day latch. So you can prevent lockout, but the door doesn't close completely.

I forgot to mention: with the motor lock, we no longer have the "Nippel" - that is: the day latch.

No idea if we will miss it.

There is actually no reason for that. The fingerprint is precisely there so that you cannot lock yourself out.
