Creating more efficient security processes at religious schools and houses of worship through fingerprint technology in order to reduce the amount of personnel needed for security, while implementing a more effective method of taking attendance within schools.

Mission of the project

At Security Key, we are introducing an innovative and cost effective way to provide safety and convenience in security

The Issue is...

In the US, Religious institutions are among the most targeted buildings in the world. Attacks on places of worship have risen nearly 35% in recent years. Due to the threat, these buildings require entrances to be locked at all times with security guards, costing tens of thousands of dollars. In addition, people get locked outside the building and lose valuable time. Have you ever gotten locked outside your building while waiting on a security guard to open the door?

Effort 1

Keep Religious Schools Safe in an Efficient and Cost-Effecvtive way

Effort 2

Modernize the way Schools take Attendance

Security Key's Solution

Security Keys’ solution is an automated security system that uses fingerprint technology to keep unwanted people out and let members of the community in.

Security Key will appear in a box by each entrance and will have holes for the screen, LED lights, and fingerprint scanner. The screen and lights are used to help the user recognize if his fingerprint was accepted by the system. The product includes a Solenoid lock which acts as a deadbolt. This will unlock every time the fingerprint scanner detects a match.

Security Key is an easy option to keep religious institutions safe with fewer security guards.
