The only thing that's visible is the door and the fingerprint scanner. You can even hide the front portion too by covering it with a frame, mirror, curtain or furniture. It can easily be covered because it goes flat on the wall. Pretty unique! For more details, click here to see a video on how it works and how it will look like.
