With the continuous development of science and technology, smart products have entered thousands of households. Smart locks in the smart product market are deeply loved by users. So, what is the difference between smart locks and traditional mechanical locks? What should I pay attention to when buying smart locks? Let’s take a look at it with Xiaobian.
Comparison between intelligent lock and traditional mechanical lock
The first is the structure: the smart lock is a high-tech electronic product, which is a complex synthesis. The main components are hardware and software. The hardware is composed of many parts, including the external lock body and the internal circuit board. In contrast, the structure of a traditional mechanical lock is much simpler, and the mechanical lock has no electronic software part. So it is destined that the manufacturing cost of smart locks is much higher than that of mechanical locks, and the price is naturally much more expensive.
Second, the material: under normal circumstances, some smart lock products that choose high-quality production raw materials will increase invisibly because of their material cost, so the price of the products will be relatively higher.
Third, function: Compared with traditional mechanical locks, smart locks have more functions. Therefore, compared with some smart lock products with multiple functions, the price will be relatively high because of the complicated manufacturing process.
Fourth, brand: There are many brands of smart locks on the market today, and the prices of smart locks among brands are also different. Because of the differences in configuration within each brand, the price is different.
What should I pay attention to when buying smart locks?
1. Safety performance: the quality of lock cylinder and mechanical key lock cylinder is directly related to the prying resistance and stability of the door. The lock body is the core part, and the friction of the lock body is very severe every day. A solid and wear-resistant lock body is a must.
2. Stability: It is best to choose a powerful manufacturer when purchasing. Generally, a powerful enterprise has undergone many experiments and evaluations, and has certain production experience. The stability of its products is definitely better than that of ordinary manufacturers.
3. Unlocking method: Young people generally choose fingerprint lock and password. If the guests are not at home, it is more convenient to unlock the mobile APP. Old people generally use passwords, fingerprints and IC cards to unlock more.
4. Functionality: alarm function, automatic locking function, automatic locking, password voyeurism prevention function and emergency power supply.
5. After-sales service: Only when the manufacturer has after-sales guarantee can someone solve the problem in time.
Summary: The above is the explanation about the comparison between smart locks and traditional mechanical locks, and some problems that should be paid attention to when buying smart locks. What kind of lock to buy depends entirely on personal lock habits and preferences.
