Pierpoint Group launched a new online store last week. This store specialises in biometric locks. More specifically, these locks use fingerprint scanning technology to allow the user to open the door.

Currently, there are two main types of locks available. The Nextbolt line are the most simple and function just by applying a registered user’s thumbprint to the scanner. These locks are suited to homes.

The Relitouch line are more sophisticated and include a keypad for extra security and tracking. These are suited more to corporate environments, hospitals etc.

Please note: NO fingerprints were harmed during the making
