Tychi Systems Inc., a leading manufacturer of fingerprint door locks, expanded their patented biometric technology to a line of safes.
The BKK line of safes recognize fingerprints for access, eliminating problems of lost keys and combinations or fraudulent entry. Up to 100 users can be enrolled with their fingerprints by the Administrator, who can selectively delete them as well.
In addition to the security of absolute identification by fingerprint, the BKK safes also retain an audit trail of entries by name, time and date.
BKK Safes range from 1.2 to 4.5 cu feet, approximately 13” to 30” high, respectively. They are made of industrial strength, laser cut steel plate with thick, inset doors secured by six solid steel bolts.
The smaller sizes are designed for personal jewelry, small firearms, vital documents, and precious relics while the larger sizes can hold critical business documents, trade secrets, drugs or high security keys. Almost all hotels, hospitals, research labs and general business offices are target markets according to the company.
Earlier US firms that entered the biometric fields focused on complex, centralized institutional and military systems that are cost prohibitive for the commercial and consumer markets. None offered standalone units for individual doors or personal use.
