Retrofit fingerprint digital lock!

With tokens, you still have to carry something with you. However, your problem in case of loss would be solved. Most fingerprint readers can also do RFID. You just have to pay attention to which "version" they use. We have different generations of Ekey running smoothly in the family. Take a look at iLoq. It uses energy harvesting. Keys can also be programmed. Works without batteries and cables. There are also code pads, but they are not necessary.

We have iLoq in the company. I can only recommend it to a limited extent because the key is often not recognized. Allegedly because the key is inserted "too quickly"...

I am currently also dealing with the topic. The reviews of the BurgWächter devices online are somehow not so great. On YouTube, there is a video from a specialist dealer about long-term experiences with use in a fire station. That at least puts it into perspective somewhat. If I remember correctly, the specialist dealer no longer sells the product either, maybe too many complaints after all.

I am currently leaning towards an Ekey fingerprint scanner in a video intercom system, but I am still missing the suitable counterpart as a lock. I don’t want Nuki because of the noise. Ekey itself offers a CES lock cylinder with a radio module on the website. Apparently, however, this is one that is not suitable for doors with core pull protection. That one is only available through the specialist dealer. After longer research, I also came across ELOCK2 and Simons Voss radio relays, but also only through specialist dealers. Of course, all of this is significantly more expensive than the BurgWächter devices.

Apparently, however, this is one that is not suitable for doors with core pull protection. You can only get it from a specialist dealer. After longer research, I also came across wireless relays from ELOCK2 and Simons Voss, but again only through specialist dealers. However, all of this is of course significantly more expensive than the BurgWächter devices.

When I saw the video of Nuki, I also thought oh dear... Unfortunately not an option.

With iloq from Rick, well, still a key but programmable, well then also the price.

For BurgWächter, I unfortunately read both good and bad experiences. Advantages at Bauhaus you can look at them.

But in this weather, we preferred to be out with the kids.

But the elock2 also looks interesting, I think a call is necessary, as they offer both cylinders and mortise lock cases, what is the big difference?

Especially since we have self-closing latches in the door.

I would always prefer a system like eKey. It just has to work reliably. We have years of experience with the system. Iloq is also available with code or transponder. Probably more expensive though… Similar systems to the one from Burgwächter are also available from dormaKaba. These also work reliably and have high security ratings.

What also looks very interesting as a locking solution is the Mediator effeff from assa Abloy. Always locked with a bolt and yet always openable from the inside by handle. For this, the power only needs to be supplied to the door frame and not to the door, and can therefore certainly also be opened by fingerprint.
