ᐅ Keyless Entry Systems

Hello everyone,

I am currently considering the access system for our new build. I am thinking of a keyless system with PIN entry, fingerprint sensor, or something similar.

Which manufacturers should I look into more closely? What systems are you using?

The system is for access to the front door and the garage door. I would prefer not to carry a key, chip, or anything like that.

Security and burglary protection are, of course, very important. The sectional garage door must be able to be opened and closed remotely by radio from the car.

Thanks and best regards

The delivery person gets a code that only allows them to open one section of the gate.

GIRA is overpriced – and supposedly prone to malfunctions. I would look around again...

Especially since a fingerprint scanner on the garage seems a bit excessive – how often do you actually use it by hand?

We mostly use the garage just for bikes, so it’s almost always opened manually.

But that would be an expensive parking space. Well, okay, if that’s the case... I would reconsider using a pin and the option for, for example, the mail carrier.

I have a fingerprint scanner from Fuhr, as well as a remote key set that also belongs to the Fuhr lock. The control unit is installed inside the door.
The security cannot be compared to cars. A front door does not need a locking signal from the key—instead, the motorized lock automatically engages as soon as the door closes. The opening code can only be used once, and only within a short time frame (in our case, 2 minutes). If a code is intercepted and the owner presses the remote key again, the initially sent code that was intercepted is already invalid. Since the owner is inside the house at that point, it is unlikely anyone will break in. This is different from a car, where the owner leaves after sending the code because they have parked the vehicle and locked it via remote signal (or sometimes not locked, if the signal was intercepted).

Registering fingerprints is very fast: swipe the master finger, then the new finger, then the master finger again. Done. It seems registration only works if you first erase all existing fingerprints.

Elina, we have already discussed the safety aspect.

However, the training process is poorly designed with the drive system.

We have a BKS fingerprint system. Programming works the same way as with Elina systems. In theory, programming can be done using the remote control, if you know the ID. So, basically, you would have to delete all fingerprints. But how often do you actually delete a fingerprint? Sure, maybe for giving neighbors access to water plants during vacation or something like that, but otherwise, it’s pretty manageable.

As mentioned, a PIN code isn’t very secure, since it only takes one time for someone to see it. And people don’t change it frequently anyway, so no more excuses. Wireless access is similar to a car system—possible, but it has its risks. Still, I think it’s a good idea and could work well. Fingerprint systems are probably the most secure, because no one can copy your fingerprint, and few people want to keep fiddling with the usually open and visible front door for a long time.

The advantage of all these systems is that the front door automatically locks in a way that is valid for insurance purposes, so you don’t have to lock the door yourself. Of course, in case of a power outage, you can still open the door with a normal key, which also means the door could be opened with a lock pick or similar. Therefore, you need a lock with a secure key profile.

Or simply no lock on the front door
