The ZKAccess TF1700 lock

Michael Glazer

Most of the locks discussed above had one flaw as a commonality, and that flaw was the presence of a keyway. Locks that have a key way present did so for the purpose of having an alternate means of access or as override protocol, which is a common feature in security safes. As we have pointed out in several different articles, all locks can be picked, especially if there is a keyway present. This mode of access makes the lock more susceptible to lock picking as well as lock bumping.

The ZKAccess TF1700 stands apart from all these other locks, and it does so by prioritizing security above all else. Do not think that this means the other locks are not secure, far from it. However, many of the fingerprint door locks that you can find on the market are trying to position themselves as hybrid products.

Take the Ultraloq UL3 for example. It is a fingerprint door lock that is attempting to fulfill the needs of both commercial properties and residential properties. In scenarios like this, it is most often the case that a key feature will be sacrificed along the way. The ZKAccess TF1700 sacrifices very little because it has a specific audience that intends to reach. This audience comprises of commercial property owners and business owners who are looking for better access control solutions.

Also, this lock is particularly well suited for exterior use and interior use. The TF1700 is IP65 rated for waterproof and weatherproof structures. An IP65 rating is an ingress protection marking that estimates how durable a product is against intrusion and some elements of nature etc.

Key Features:
The ZKAccess lock boasts a impressive 1.5 second user recognition rate, which will make operations much more efficient and improve ease of access for its users.
This lock stores 3,000 fingerprint templates and is able to record up to 50,000 transactions. This feature enhances security by providing a more dependable way to keep track of the who accesses the lock and when they access it.
With an IP65 rating, the TF1700 can withstand many harsh exterior elements. Not many fingerprint door locks are able to stand strong against elements of nature, but the ZKAccess fingerprint door lock does.
