-Biometric Figerprint Door Lock is the
Shepherd DL 210 and I found it on eBay.

I did the majority of the work myself. The Theater is double drywalled with two sheets of 5/8″ drywall with Green Glue http://www.greengluecompany.com between each sheet of drywall and insulation stuffed in all the walls and ceiling. All the walls and the ceiling are isolated using products from http://www.pac-intl.com The front stage is completely filled with sand and I use a Biometric Fingerprint Door Lock for access to the Theater.
