Fingerprint Door Lock

The cost for installing fingerprint door locks varies: a professional installation usually runs around $75–$150, depending on door type and labor rates. If you install a fingerprint lock like eufy’s Video Smart Lock yourself (no drilling required), the cost drops to zero with only your time and effort required.

Fingerprint locks are generally more secure than PIN codes. Fingerprints are unique and hard to replicate, while PINs can be forgotten, shared, or observed by others. Biometric access significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized entry over simple codes.

Yes, fingerprint door locks are worth it for enhanced security, convenience, and fast access. They eliminate the need for physical keys, reducing the risk of lost or stolen keys. Additionally, eufy's thumb scan door locks provide advanced features like remote access, real-time notifications, and integration with home security systems, offering a modern and efficient way to protect your home.

No, fingerprint door locks do not necessarily need Wi-Fi to function. They can operate using local fingerprint recognition to unlock the door. However, if you want to get additional convenience and security from advanced features, it's better to have Wi-Fi connectivity which can enhance the functionality like what you get with eufy's smart door locks, allowing for features like remote access, real-time notifications, and integration with smart home systems through apps.

Fingerprint door locks are typically powered by batteries, most commonly AA or AAA alkaline batteries. Many eufy models like our Video Smart Lock S330 and Smart Lock S230 also use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries designed to be energy-efficient, ensuring long battery life. Additionally, many fingerprint door locks feature low-battery alerts and backup key or USB ports for temporary power supply to ensure continuous operation.

Fingerprint door locks offer faster and more reliable unlocking since they rely on a single biometric feature. Face recognition locks provide hands-free convenience but can be affected by lighting and angles. So door locks with fingerprints are generally preferred for accuracy and security, while facial recognition may be ideal for seamless entry.
