Hello everyone,
I wasn’t able to find any relevant information on this topic.
Today, we visited the window manufacturer and also discussed front doors.
Since I often forget my key (at least I don’t lose it), and frequently have to crawl around in the garden to fetch the spare key, I would like to install an entrance door system in our new build that can be opened preferably with a door code or fingerprint (and optionally also with a key).
So far, I don’t see any clear advantage of one system over the other.
And no, it’s not enough to have a spare key in the car or at the neighbors’—I definitely want a system that works without a key.

Or something like the Danalock Smartlock. The lock is opened using a smartphone.Personally, I really can’t get used to smartphone controls.
OK – when it comes to phones, I’m generally not very tech-savvy anyway. For me, this device mainly has three functions: making calls, texting, and taking photos.
For all other functions that run through apps or transfer data, I’m always concerned that the data could be intercepted. That’s why I don’t use my phone for online banking, checking emails, or making payments via apps, etc.
I know this isn’t very up-to-date nowadays and maybe a bit overly cautious. Many of you will probably shake your heads while reading this. But I always tell myself: better safe than sorry.
So, I’m also very skeptical about the idea of controlling door locks via smartphone.
We are having the version with fingerprint installed today or tomorrow. Of course, it can be bypassed, just like a key or a code. But no one does that because it’s too obvious to stand in front of the door fiddling around for ages when you can just break in through a window at the back.

Unlike with GIRA, dismantling it or tampering with the wiring won’t help.
In my opinion, it is quite secure – but as payday said: They are probably more likely to come from behind...

With phones, you can print a photo of the fingerprint on a film, and that’s enough to fool the sensor.Similar topics
