Swipe Card Lock for my House Aleksey 01-29-2008

Hello Everyone,

I need to install a swipe card lock for the front door of my house. I
do not know of any good models or much about these locks period. I was
wondering if anyone could tell me of any reliable models. I need one
that is reliable, would look good on a front door, and could handle
many people using it on a daily basis.

Does anyone have one of these locks on their door?

The only model I have been able to find is:
http://www.lock-depot.com/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=154 . I don't
know much about it however and wont purchase it unless I wont find any
better alternatives.

If anyone could help me out or give me some input I would much
appreciate it.

there are ones that detect the presence of a key fob like device, get
near the lock it opens instantly, and for those without a fob a
touchpad can give them access too.

Absolutely you want a non contact proximity card / fob type system and
mount the reader head relatively low so with the card or fob in your
pocket you can just bump the reader when your hands are full with
groceries or whatnot.

OTOH, a fingerprint-reader lock can't get lost.
(or left -inside- when you close the door and it locks behind you.=Aws#!t.)
AFAIK,you can program several person's FPs into them.

Swipe cards(magnetic stripe) can be COPIED just like thieves do with credit
cards.

Fingerprint readers are slow, vulnerable to vandals, and can be defeated
in several ways. Prox card / fob readers hide nicely under vinyl siding
or trim so vandals can't even find them.
