I know of no unique identifiers in the fingerprint hardware. You will have to make your sensor tamper-proof somehow.

At best, locks of any kind are simply deterrents - they don't eliminate security risks and they don't guarantee that unauthorized people can't get in. Even if they couldn't subvert your fingerprint sensor, they could still break the lock, break a window, etc.

I had given this some thought too - you may want to consider a killswitch that will permanently lock someone out if the sensor enclosure has been tampered with.
