Fingerprint Activated Door Lock
I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to the day when we can chuck keys completely and just go around starting our cars with our voices or opening the front door with a touch of our fingers. Well, that day is at least partially here for those willing to spend a little extra for the convenience (all you people out there who lose your house keys, repeatedly, this post is for you). The Biocav Fingerprint Recognition Deadbolt is a lock for your front door (any door actually) that only opens when you press your finger to the reader or enter your unique access number. Keyed to your fingerprint, it allows you to throw away your house key forever. The Biocav lock holds up to 50 users and runs on battery power so there's no need to worry about being locked out during a power outage (a low battery warning alerts you in advance when it's time to change the batteries). The MSRP is $499, but Smarthome has it for $399 at the time of this posting: Biometric Fingerprint Door Lock
