Smart locks are an essential tool for modern home decoration. With them, they can not only enhance the quality of the entire home environment, but also bring a higher protection factor to the personal safety of family members.

However, there are more and more types of smart locks on the market, and even the prices are varied, making it difficult to choose.

So the editor remembered the experience and lessons I learned from using the wrong smart lock before, which can help consumers avoid making mistakes when purchasing. Let’s take a look at what I have summarized. These 5 types of smart locks.

Don’t buy particularly cheap ones.

Smart locks are a new product in the lock industry in recent years. Compared with traditional mechanical locks, they combine mechanical and electric components, making technology, materials and other costs relatively more expensive. , so the price will go up.

Similarly, very cheap smart locks are likely to cut corners. If you finally place an order on a whim, you are likely to encounter the following during use:

First of all, the performance is very poor. stable, a circuit failure may leave you locked out in the middle of the night, without No matter how you press the fingerprint, the door still cannot be opened;

Secondly, if the door cannot be opened under abnormal circumstances, you need to dismantle the entire smart lock before dismantling the door. The process is very troublesome, not to mention thieves. Difficult to do;

Lastly, especially cheap smart locks generally have a short service life. In this way, you don’t have to open it and feel that you have made money once you open it. Even if you want to buy a thousand-yuan mansion, you will not dare to buy it. A thousand-yuan smart lock It feels very expensive, but the truth is like this!

So in order to ensure safety and service life, it is recommended that you pay attention to a few points when purchasing a smart lock Products from big manufacturers.

Look first when choosingSecurity level.

Smart locks are divided into many levels, among which the lock cylinder is the most important. Some merchants In order to increase the market competitiveness and the cost-effectiveness of its products, it will lower the grade, such as inventing a new grade other than C grade.

Some businesses even make their products into several different levels in order to brag about the safety of their products, but in fact they are all true. The difference is not big, even if it is put on the market and called D-class, E-class and F-class, it will easily deceive consumers.

At this time, everyone needs to make a choice according to national standards. The highest level of locks in our country is C-level, students, remember it!

Be sure to make sure it is the only one with a lock cylinder guard.

The editor once found that the elevator door could not be opened when I was at work. Because the locksmith company was far away from the unit, I was worried that if I didn’t go back at night, the property owner would open the door for overtime work. Soon after, the master Coming.

After he opened the door, he started to blame someone for touching the door in the corridor, and then he went into a small shop, opened the door too hard, and sucked the door off. As a result, all my resentment towards the thief was transferred to him.

So, in this case, if you can determine the If the smart lock has a protection device to prevent prying and drilling, then at least the residents don’t have to worry.

We should pay more attention to this when purchasing. If not, it will not be practical to buy a new door lock after the next set comes to the door and before the last time the door is opened.

Plastic casings must not be purchased!

Everyone should know this truth, right?

Generally, the lock body shell that supports the important parts inside is made of metal, because metal has better protective capabilities, but this is not the reason why the lock body shell can be made of plastic and cut corners.

Because the lock body shell does not play much role at all. It is just a physical support thing. In addition, it is highly wear-resistant, so it is made of stainless steel. Even better, in this case, if the conditions are met, the quality of the metal will not significantly increase.Whatever takes shape will do.

However, plastic cannot use any physical properties, but uses its own chemical properties, which can be easily destroyed under natural conditions. This allows this type of lock to pass simple tests, but it is a little more It becomes extremely fragile due to the influence of conditions and climate, and has no ability to prevent theft.

You must not buy if the battery is low!

The last problem is battery life, because some merchants feel that their battery life is locked The long selling point is not enough to add a profitable selling point to a lock with a short battery life. In fact, the importance of being more practical is reduced.

There are two final consequences of doing this. If you are equipped with a battery, then you need to replace it frequently;

If it is not equipped with a battery, then You can tolerate no matter the cost of your time Now every day after get off work, you have to quickly go to the key in the charging box to find the key, take the charging box away, find the key after work, and put it back into the charging box to charge. When you get used to it, you will find that it has become worse since it ran out of power and relied on big problems. It’s so troublesome to find time after getting used to fast forwarding!

So, if you want to spend this kind of money, it is better to calculate the balance before buying something with good performance!

As long as you remember the above 5 With this kind of smart lock, you can avoid most of the pitfalls when purchasing. If you want to buy something that is safer, more practical, durable and of better quality, you can also add some additional conditions for screening, which will save you more money. Are you feeling well?
