I received the lock with in 2-3 days. For the price you can't beat this. Lets face it, a lock is just a deterrent. If someone wants in your house bad enough as opposed to going thru the trouble of duplicating your finger the would just throw a rock thru your window! I a completely confident in the reliablitity of this lock and know it provides the at least the same level of security as a regular deadbolt without the hassle of messing with keys.

On the other hand, you only have one set of fingerprints. =/ I've had a fingerprint lock on my bedroom door for a couple years now...no one get in without my say so, but ever since Mythbusters did a special on how easy it is to bypass...i've been looking for something new. Perhaps retinal scanner?
