how much do fingerprint readers typically cost?
Generally, prices range from $5,000 to $10,000 per door for a complete system that includes the biometric scanner, a specialized locking system, software integration and installation. If you're looking for hardware alone, a fingerprint scanner can be purchased for around $1,200 to $1,500 - about double the cost of a card or proximity reader. It might be tempting to save money by purchasing a biometric scanner separately and trying to do the installation yourself.
