A biometric safe lock lets you open a safe with your fingerprint, without needing a key or code every time. That is fast and convenient, but a fingerprint scanner does not automatically make a safe secure. Security depends on the quality and certification of the complete lock and of the safe.
For certified safes, the lock must comply with the European standard EN 1300 and suit the resistance class of the safe.
Biometric locks that open with a fingerprint only are usually certified in lock class A. We offer safes that open with your fingerprint alone, up to resistance class 2. Versions in class B also exist, but we do not offer them for now. In our view, fingerprint recognition is not yet always reliable enough, which can sometimes cause problems accessing your safe.
Be careful with cheap fingerprint safes without independent certification. Some models have even been recalled because they could be opened with unregistered fingerprints. A reliable biometric lock therefore stands out not only for its ease of use, but above all for its proven security.
Biometric operation is available on several Burg-Wächter safes. Depending on the model and lock version, you open with a fingerprint or an electronic code. See also our electronic safe locks.
