Re: [BlindHandyMan] Do you have $900 to spend on a door lock
Dan! The computer might work better if you pulled your thumb out of your but. I don't think I would like one of those locks either and for the same reasons.

It is a pain in the ass. I have to swipe my finger multiple times before it recognizes me. For some reason it refuses to recognize me after recovering from hibernate mode. Having this on your house would mean a power source, and battery backup. Sure, I assume you would also have to have a physical key backup, but if you get used to the fingerprint thing, you probably would stop carrying the key. Why else would you have the finger print thingee. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.

I think I would prefer a mechanical digital push button style myself. Not too fussy about laying a thumb flat on my door at 40 below. Wonder if it works that cold, a lot of electronic equipment does not.

Stone To: Blind Handyman Sent: Monday, September 24, 2007 11:21 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Do you have $900 to spend on a door lock For the person who has everything new installed, this is for you. Actually this ounds like a great idea for that person like me who gets confused with a pocketfull of keys. I listened to some program over the weekend about a new doorlock used which works from your thumb print . Imagine walking up to your front door and flipping up a little cover and just laying your thumb on the area where normally a key would go. Just listen for the click and poof, your door begins to open. However at a cost of about $900 I will have to pass for now.
