Speedy Biometric Security Locks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 'Anylock' Fingerprint Padlock Unlocks in Less Than a Second

— January 28, 2019 — Tech
The 'Anylock' fingerprint padlock is a convenience-focused piece of technology for consumers who are seeking out a better way to secure their valuables that doesn't require any keys, apps or passcodes.

Integrated with biometric technology, the lock is capable of storing up to 10 sets of fingerprints to make it accessible by multiple parties for an intuitive experience for small groups or families. The lock is weather-resistant to prevent inclement weather from rendering it useless, while the integrated battery pack will power the unit for about 2,500 uses to ensure it's always accessible.

The 'Anylock' fingerprint padlock will support up to 50 kilograms of weight thanks to the zinc alloy build that promises to keep items, storage lockers, garage and more secure at all times.
