What kind of intelligent lock body is better? How to judge?

In addition to the quality of the material, process and technology of the lock itself, the lock body is usually not bad. There are many smart lock brands in the industry, many brands have their own lock body, and there may be many new lock bodies coming out every year, in addition, the types of smart lock bodies are also very many.

01, lock body material
High quality material selection is the guarantee of lock body quality. At present, the common forging material of the smart lock body in the industry is stainless steel, because the steel has good corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance, which is very suitable for the durable product of the lock body.
Based on the proportion of steel in the lock body, the lock body can be divided into full steel and half steel. All steel is the shell of the lock body, the lock tongue and the internal mechanical structure are made of stainless steel; The semi-steel lock body mainly refers to the main lock tongue, anti-lock tongue and other parts are made of stainless steel, and other parts such as the shell and inclined tongue are made of iron and copper.
Therefore, judging the quality of the lock body from the material aspect, it is necessary to distinguish the all-steel and semi-steel lock body. The two lock bodies have the following obvious differences, first, the full steel lock body shell is smooth and bright, while the half steel lock body shell is dull. Second, under normal circumstances, the inclined tongue of the semi-steel lock body is mostly made of copper, so it can also be judged from the color of the inclined tongue. Third, because of the difference in material, the full steel lock body is much heavier than the half steel lock body.

02, production forging process
In addition to the most important material, the internal structure of the lock body is also an important factor affecting the quality. According to the description of the smart lock manufacturer, the mold accuracy of the good lock body is very high, and the combination of the internal parts is very high. In the forging method, the good lock body is mostly forged in the way of precision casting, so the internal accessories look very fine, and the next point is the way of die casting, and the precision of accessories is not as good as that of precision casting.

03, lock body use experience
In addition to the material and process, many dealers and installation masters with many years of industry experience can be judged from the subtle feel of the lock body when running, in general, a good lock body is very smooth when running, no blocking. For the electronic lock body, the sound and state of operation are also reference standards.

04, lock body type
At present, the lock body in the industry is mainly divided into mechanical lock body and electronic lock body. Because of the difference in the length of development time and the maturity of the process, the overall stability and quality of the mechanical lock body is better than that of the electronic lock body. However, with the continuous maturity of electronic lock body technology, the stability of the lock body will be better and better.

05, Other reference factors
In addition to the above, there are some other ways to judge the quality of the smart lock body, such as the lock body brand. Experienced dealers and installation masters will know that some companies do very good lock body, such companies have many years of experience in the lock body, because the brand's lock body will be higher than other peers in the stability. Secondly, because there are a number of smart lock clusters in the country, affected by the development maturity of the local hardware industry, there will be some gaps in the overall quality of the lock body.

Compared with traditional mechanical locks, smart locks have many electronic functions, but the quality of the lock body is still an important factor affecting the service life and experience of the product.

The high-quality lock body can make the smart lock use time and performance play to the extreme, while the inferior lock body not only reduces the service life of the product, but also often fails, resulting in a reduced user experience and affecting reputation.
It is hoped that the majority of dealers and installation masters, when selling and installing smart locks, can identify the quality of the lock body, recommend high-quality lock bodies for the majority of consumers, and promote the further popularization of smart locks with good use experience.
