... news on LOCK Saf T Lok Forms Alliance With Laser Manufacturer to Bring Fingerprint Technology to Firearm Safety May 26, 1998 09:01 AM TEQUESTA, Fla., May 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Saf T Lok Incorporated LOCK announced today that it has entered into a development agreement with Semiconductor Laser International Corporation SLIC to produce a laser enhanced gun locking mechanism. Saf T Lok manufactures the only integrated gun lock on the market today that allows the owner of a handgun to lock his gun against unauthorized use, while still providing instant access to himself. The Saf T Lok(TM) gun locks are completely mechanical and require the gun owner to enter their own unique combination to unlock the gun, creating the first Personalized Handgun(TM). Semiconductor Laser International, a leader in the development of laser related products in areas such as defense, medical, automotive, computer and DVD, will develop an optical laser-driven fingerprint locking mechanism to work in conjunction with the already existing Saf T Lok(TM) gun locks. "There will be available by the end of the year, a small, handgun-mountable, fingerprint recognition system that will be capable of unlocking a Saf T Lok equipped firearm -- only when pre-determined fingerprint data is met," said Dr. Geoffrey T. Burnham, President and CEO of Semiconductor Laser International. "The concept of the unit will be a butt-mounted sensor. The operator will place his or her thumb, as normally done when holding a gun, on a disc located in the butt of the gun. If the print matches the pre-set print, the gun locking mechanism, already manufactured by Saf T Lok, will be disengaged and the gun can be fired instantly. If the print does not match -- the locking mechanism will not disengage." "With this added technology, we are taking a major step into the future and opening up new market opportunities," said John Gardner, President and CEO of Saf T Lok. "We plan to offer the developed fingerprint technology as an additional means to instantly release the mechanical Saf T Lok. Because laser technology requires the use of a battery, any laser equipped lock can still be unlocked mechanically, should the batteries fail. However, in the area of shotguns, rifles, etc., which can accommodate larger batteries, this technology could be more effective." Mr. Gardner went on to say, "As of this time, we have successfully accomplished the manufacturing of our grip locks for revolvers and our magazine locks for semi-automatic handguns and are aggressively shipping to our distributors and fulfilling their orders. This new technology would provide gun owners the option of adding this feature to the already existing Saf T Lok(TM) gun lock." "Recent events have made it abundantly clear that gun owners are not securing their firearms," Mr. Gardner added. "The legislation that has passed in various areas of the country has done so with good intentions, but unless we offer gun owners a variety of non-obtrusive ways to secure their firearms, unauthorized access to these firearms will only continue to tear our children, families and society apart."
