Nowadays, smart locks are becoming more and more popular, and many people buy them. The main advantage of intelligent door lock is safety and convenience. However, due to social progress, and now is the era of big data, information is becoming more and more transparent. A lot of information is unsafe, including passwords and fingerprints.

What is a mechanical lock?
First of all, let’s learn about the mechanical lock. Mechanical locks have a long history, and their safety and beauty have been constantly improved, but the unsafe mechanical locks are obvious problems. Generally, mechanical locks need to be unlocked with a key. On the one hand, it is inconvenient to carry the key. On the other hand, you can use the key to unlock the lock, and many locksmiths can unlock your lock without a key at all. Although there is a safety level in the mechanical lock, no matter what level of mechanical lock it is, it is only a matter of time (as fast as a few seconds! ), so there is no mechanical lock that can’t be opened by a skilled locksmith.
Diversification of smart lock products
With the development of biometric technology and Bluetooth technology, the development of smart door locks has gone further. Locks developed based on biometric technology began to appear, and fingerprint identification was popularized because of its unique biological characteristics. Fingerprint locks began to appear in Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, which was the second peak in the field of smart door locks. Fingerprint locks with rapid identification, safety and convenience were the first choice for door locks in Europe and America, and the maturity of technology also provided convenience for fingerprint locks.

Are these functions of smart door locks safe?
Recently, a small black box was exposed on the Internet, and the 9th China (Yongkang) International Door Expo opened in Yongkang, Zhejiang, which has the reputation of "China’s Door Capital". The owner of a smart lock company in Hunan, this little black box was made by the company and a lock-opening tool manufacturer in Changzhou. This is called "professional testing tool for smart locks". It was this little black box that opened the smart locks of 8 brands on the spot, and the fastest time was only 3 seconds! It caused an uproar in the industry circle.
Then, some people are worried that this little black box will be circulated to the market. If it is used by criminals, it is not very unsafe for families to install smart locks. The person in charge said: We sell carefully, mainly to brands, dealers and locksmiths.
However, the eggs are already sold on an e-commerce platform. The seller will not review the buyer’s information at all, nor will he ask for any identification, so he will sell them directly. Of course, this little black box is not omnipotent, and some smart locks can’t be cracked. Therefore, friends should pay attention when choosing smart locks, and must not be greedy for cheap locks with poor quality.
Is the smart door lock safe after all?
At present, the smart door lock is still relatively easy to use. Xiaobian just wants to tell you that when we buy smart door locks, we should consider everything from several aspects. We should know the existence of hidden dangers. For example, you can carry out multiple authentication in smart door locks, because this is equivalent to adding more security doors, thus improving the security of smart locks. Another important factor is the price. Many smart locks with poor quality are often very low in price, which should also attract consumers’ attention.
In the future, with the rapid development of science and technology, smart door locks will become the mainstream of the future, and now the security risks of smart door locks are also caused by immature technology, so once the technology is mature, many problems will be solved.
Summary: Existence is reasonable. Every product needs to be gradually recognized by everyone when it comes out, and manufacturers also need to gradually improve their products. Even though some technologies are not very mature now, or they can be opened through black technology, they are already hundreds of times safer than ordinary door locks. Therefore, we should believe in science and society. Buy and join the fingerprint lock and go to China Smart Lock Network!
