What Is a Biometric Safe?
A biometric safe is a safe that only opens after the person who is authorized to open it provides the safe with a biometric reading, consisting of things like fingerprints or retinal scans.

Types
-
The various types of biometric safes are currently limited to two distinct types. The first opens only for people who have fingerprints that are authorized to open the safe, and the second type only opens for people whose retinal scans have been authorized to open the safe.
Benefits
-
Biometric safes provide keyless access to valuables, guns or other objects that need to be safely and securely stored away, and provide extra security against intruders, since there is no key or combination to be found and used.
Warning
-
Although biometric safes provide extra security, they are limited by how many sets of fingerprints or retinal scans can be stored in them.
Size
-
Biometric safes come in all standard safe sizes, from small ones with just a few cubic feet of space, to enormous vaults.
Identification
-
Biometric safes are easy to identify due to the fingerprint or retinal scanner that is mounted on the safe door. This scanner may or may not go along with a combination or number pad lock to provide extra security.
