A touch of class : new Smart Padlock replaces keys

A new fingerprint-activated padlock has been launched to offer a simple and practical alternative to carrying keys or remembering codes .
» THE PADLOCKS FROM THE NEW AR90 / 54 series from ARRONE , the sister brand of HOPPE ( UK ), can be unlocked using just a fingerprint and respond to recognised prints in less than a second .
The zinc housing and steel alloy shackle provide enhanced tamper and corrosion resistance . The padlock can be used indoors and outdoors , with its IP66 water resistant rating , making it suitable for securing lockers , sheds and bicycles . With a long-lasting , rechargeable battery , the FingerScan Padlock can be used for up to 200 days from a single charge and uses a standard five pin USB portal to recharge . For retailers of this product a trade counter point of sale display is also available .
Jonathan Walker , product manager of ARRONE , said : “ With a standard padlock , a lost key or forgotten code can be a real headache . But the AR90 / 54 series offers
users a much more convenient solution without compromising on security . The Smart Padlock only requires the use of a registered fingerprint to gain access .
“ It has been designed for multiple users and to be used in a range of scenarios , making it particularly useful for areas that need to be kept private but may need access by more than one person . The Smart Padlock can store up to 20 fingerprints so can be used within shared spaces without having to swap keys or share codes .”
