The 291Y is a biometric door knob that unlocks with a fingerprint, a keypad code, the companion app, or a backup key. It is built from high-strength metal and is aimed at bedrooms, apartments, closets and small offices where keyless entry and privacy matter. Its main edge over plain keypad knobs is the fingerprint reader, which owners say unlocks in under a second. The trade-offs are a gateway sold separately for remote app control and an install that some buyers found needed door and frame modification.
