Schlage – HandKey / FingerKey Systems

What is Hand Geometry?

Hand geometry measures the size and shape of a person’s hand, including length, width, thickness and surface area. When the user places his or her hand on the platen of a device like the Schlage HandPunch, the device scans the hand to determine if the profile stored in the system matches the hand on the platen. In many cases, a swipe card or PIN may also be required to allow access.

• No fingerprint or palm print is stored in the device.
• Data is not shared with any outside agencies or companies.
• Verification takes place in about one second.
• Unauthorized access is eliminated since credentials cannot be duplicated.
• Since the “credential” cannot be lost or stolen there is no cost to replace lost, damaged or stolen cards or keys.
• Hand geometry accurately identifies the user even if his or her hand is dirty, wet or injured, or if the device is damp, dusty or dirty.

Schlage HandKey readers are ideal for applications where reliability and high security are critical. The readers are easy to install and maintain, and can be used outdoors or indoors, as well as high-traffic locations.
