Claim 9:
10. A biometric door lock for preventing unauthorized entry into an area, the biometric door lock comprising:
a front surface and an opposing rear surface, wherein said front surface is accessible to a user for using said biometric door lock;
a fingerprint scanner disposed on said front surface for scanning a fingerprint of the user for authentication;
an illuminating surface proximal to said fingerprint scanner for illuminating a multitude of colors indicating a status of a fingerprint authentication of the user;
an integrated memory for storing one or more registered fingerprints of the user that are used for a comparison with said scanned fingerprint authentication of the user for unlocking said biometric door lock;
a control and processing circuitry for conducting said comparison;
a central software having a first fingerprint of the user registered therein;
a key card slot for receiving and scanning a magnetic strip key card for another authentication of the user, wherein said key card slot is configured for recognizing access credentials for said biometric door lock using said control and processing circuitry;
a virtual clock for correlating at least one of the one or more registered fingerprints with a predetermined authentication time duration, wherein the scanned fingerprint, after authentication from a comparison with the correlated registered fingerprints, is used for unlocking said biometric door lock within the predetermined authentication time duration; and
a rotating handle configured for rotating a latch positioned on said rear surface, wherein a rotation of said rotating handle is enabled when said scanned fingerprint authentication is successful, and wherein the latch is internally coupled to the fingerprint scanner and the key card slot configured to receive and scan a magnetic strip key card for another authentication of the user.
