Carbon fiber door

Forget about analog lock and key, with rising technology even state of the art doors aren’t safe now. In fact, there’s no dearth of thieves who take pride in opening the most difficult of doors. Therefore, mere security on the door won’t do. You need to add something to it. If you have smart doors like carbon fiber doors and smart curtains or windows for your house along with apps that can help track them, then there’s no need to worry about. All you have to do is keep the cellphone number of the police station nearest to your house, and contact then in case someone tries to break in. Here is a list of the latest technical innovations that you can try to safeguard your house.

Carbon fiber doors

After revolutionizing the motor sports and aeronautical industry, carbon fiber with its durability and light weight, looks all set to make its mark in the home and office safety segment. Promising full-proof security, Brazilian designer Patrick Choate has designed a carbon fiber door that will keep unwelcome intruders away from your home. Finished with matte lacquer with U.V. additives, the revolutionary door includes a vacuum bagging, 300k twill (2X2), epoxy resin, divinycell and polypropylene honeycomb core. The biometric finger print scanner used for locking the door provides ultra protection to modern homes and offices. Costing about $15,000, the carbon fiber door comes in a 7.5′x4.9′ and weights 99lbs.

Usability

With carbon fiber goodness and biometric technology used in the door, there are no issues about security and durability. However, the heavy price tag of the carbon fiber door makes it impractical to be produced on a large scale.

The Swivel Door: Yet another safe door

Louisa Kwan has come up with something that might redefine security. The Swiv Door, which might resemble an ordinary revolving door, is not just any door; it is a door designed using the latest technology to ensure security. The steel panel installed in the door records the unique palm print of each user puts their palm on the panel. Every time the user puts a palm on the panel, the magnetic technology recognizes him/ her as a valid entrant and the door opens. As for unauthorized entrants trying to force their way in, the door won’t budge.

If this is widely marketed, this design might render the identity cards used in corporate houses to open doors redundant. Great effort!

This new addition to Y-Manufacturing’s design will offer a better technology, but will also enhance the aesthetics. The “Domestic Alarm System” incorporates a unique anti-tamper system protecting the unit from attack, while the use of snap fit assembly methods is the reason for reduced cost and improved efficiency.
