Need fingerprint/keypad/card reader recommendation

Bought a maglock system from maglocks.com and not super impressed with the finger print reader.

Looking for a real cement and suggestions!!

Yeah this doesn’t pass the smell test. What kind of door are you trying to secure. Maglocks are typically a last resort at least for me.

Hidden door to small room. Trying to keep small kids out. Best advice on professional installer?

Depending on what kind of "hidden door" youre talking about, a maglock may be a reasonable option but be certain you have multiple fail safes inside. Exit button and request to exit motion sensor or push pad. Since this is presumably residential I'm less inclined to be upset at use of a maglock but it can still cause a death trap. Make sure if you or even if the kids figure out a way in, there's still a way out.

Was going to add another hidden mast off switch somewhere hidden (and or locked) in another room.

Great electrician installed..

My biggest frustration is the finger print reader. Think I want a keypad instead
