Want to extend smart lock life? Learn these tips!

Many users have joked that Smart Locks are easy to break and have a short service life. That may be caused by our improper operation. Today, Xiaobian will correct the five major misunderstandings of the daily use of smart locks and easily extend the service life of smart locks.

1. Lubricating oil is not added randomly
According to the relevant national standards, the smart lock must have a spare mechanical keyhole. However, in the daily use process, the mechanical key door is rarely used by users because it is not convenient. When it is not used for a long time, it is possible to insert and remove the lock key.
At this time, users often think of adding lubricating oil for the first time, which is actually the wrong approach. Because the oil is easy to stick ash, after refueling, it is easy to slowly accumulate dust in the keyhole, forming oil putty, which makes the door lock more prone to failure.
The correct way is to put a little graphite powder or pencil powder into the Lock Core slot to ensure that the key can open the door normally.

2. Breaking the lock yourself can lead to big things
There are often consumer electronics experts to do it themselves, open mobile phones, open computers, and even want to open smart locks. This is listed as a mistake because it has a 90% failure rate.
Unprofessional disassembly is prohibited. The internal structure of the Fingerprint Lock is often much more complex than the traditional lock, which contains a variety of high-tech electronic products, if you are not familiar with this is not clear, it is best not to disassemble.

Basically, if you have any problems, you can consult the manufacturer, and there will generally be a special after-sales service staff to help you solve it. This is also to remind you that when buying, it is best to choose a door lock manufacturer or agent with good after-sales service to buy a fingerprint lock.

3, light! Gentle! Gentle cleaning
Fingerprint and password unlocking are the two unlocking methods that we use more frequently every day, but their popularity also means that there is frequent direct contact between the panel and the hand. The oil secreted by the sweat glands on the hand is easy to leave stains on the panel, which makes the fingerprint reader and the input panel accelerate the aging, resulting in recognition failure or insensitive input.

Therefore, in order to ensure the quick response of fingerprint and password unlock, we need to clean the fingerprint head and input panel regularly. When cleaning the stain, pay attention to the use of dry soft cloth gently wipe, do not use wet or relatively hard things (such as iron shavings) to clean, so as not to water or scratch.

4, close the door lightly, it is afraid of pain
Smart lock products have automatic locking function, so some users often push the door directly to the door frame after entering the door, so that the lock tongue and the door frame come to the most intimate embrace. And close the door, force on the door, easy to cause damage to the door lock.

The correct approach is that when we close the door in the house, we should gently pull the door and the door frame close, and then release the hand after the two are fitted, and do not force the door, otherwise it will reduce the service life of the door lock.

5, often check the battery, there are surprises
The battery is the energy guarantee for the normal operation of the smart lock, and it is also an important part of the safe use of the smart lock. In daily life, users need to check the battery from time to time, especially in summer or in high temperature weather. If the battery is found to be too low or has a tendency to leak, replace the new battery immediately to prevent battery leakage from corroding the smart lock.

In the selection of batteries, in order to extend the service life, it is recommended to choose alkaline batteries, while taking care not to mix old and new batteries. From the point of view of fire safety, this is because the lithium battery is prone to explosion at high temperature, and in the event of a fire, the door may be locked, and the door cannot be opened in time, bringing greater trouble to the rescue.
The above is the misunderstanding of the use of smart locks, do not ridicule the short service life of smart locks, it is because we do not take good care of it.
