Carbon Fiber Biometric Scanner Door

This Carbon Fiber Biometric Scanner Door is definitely one of the coolest carbon fiber items so far, cooler even than the carbon fiber car wheels. However, its price is also probably much higher. Thus, one of the most important features of this home and of office-use door is probably its price tag, since, no matter how high-tech a door could be, you must ask yourselves what could it do for 15,000 US dollars.

For this absolutely huge amount (as far as a door is concerned, that is), you will get a custom made carbon fiber door that features a biometric finger print scanner for the lock, in order to deliver an enhanced level of security. This biometric scanner is also made of carbon fiber. But, before adding any more details, you should know that this is not a mass produced item, but rather a collector's item, judging by its ridiculously high price.

The Carbon Fiber Biometric Scanner Door was commissioned to Choate Carbon in Brazil by a businessman who wanted it for his home lobby elevator area. The door was manufactured using vacuum bagging, 300k twill (2X2), divinycell and polypropylene honeycomb core, epoxy resin, and finished with a matte lacquer with U.V. additives.

Being an example of both high-class and proficiency (safety-wise), this carbon fiber biometric scanner door is guaranteed to be worth its price (the manufacturer issues this quality-related statement, of course). Too bad it's only available to a few chosen ones, otherwise, you'd see such a door in any home or office. The design is quite modern, the materials used are high-end and the door looks fabulous. The handle is simply an inset into the door, which is great…it adds to the simplistic modern aspect of it.

In other words, if you need an expert in carbon fiber designs, Choate Carbon from Brazil is definitely the company to go with. The only sad thing is that you'll have to be loaded in order to afford their work.
