by Brianna Crandall — August 14, 2015—ZKAccess, a provider of biometric and radio-frequency identification (RFID) security solutions used around the world, recently announced the release of its “smart” ML10 biometric fingerprint door lock. It is a plug-and-play replacement to a traditional lock-and-key door knob.
The ML10 lock’s next-generation embedded fingerprint recognition technology means authorized users never have to worry about accidental lockout, because ML10 requires no keys or codes, which can be forgotten or lost. Users simply touch the fingerprint sensor to open the door. It is considered extremely secure, as authorized users do not share their key or code since their fingerprint becomes their key and code.
Registering users with their fingerprints is said to be quick and easy. Each ML10 door lock can store and recognize up to 40 users. ML10 users’ registration data remains safely stored in the device, even in the event of a total power outage, so there is never a need to re-enroll users. And, there is no need to change the locks when a previously authorized user is no longer permitted door access.
Considered ideal for small-business as well as residential applications, the ML10’s door handle, latch and strike are reversible for either left- or right-handed preference. Its Do-it-Yourself design makes upgrading to ML10 swift and simple. Programming and installation are also said to be simple, as no wiring is required.
Powered by four AA alkaline batteries, the ML10 signals an audible warning when it is time to replace the batteries. And, in the unlikely event of a total power loss, ML10 can still be operated manually by a traditional metal key that ships along with the ML10 and instructional guide.
