As a working-class white-collar family, they have to go out early in the morning to go to work. The safety of the home is something that I have to worry about all the time. I want to put a smart lock with a high level of security on the door, but I don't know how to start. Today, the editor of Romans fingerprint lock will popularize a wave of knowledge about smart locks.

With the advancement of technology, smart locks that were only seen in movies before can now be included in the pocket of the home. However, many people only pay attention to the smart function when purchasing, but ignore its safety and practicability. We must know that the smart lock is still a lock after all, and it is an important part of preventing "bad guys" from entering the home. Therefore, in addition to its diverse intelligent functions, workmanship and materials are also very important.

For any product, in addition to function, appearance and performance, the material that determines its value cannot be ignored. For smart locks, which material is used not only affects the price, but also is very important for the safety of the door lock. Although there is no material that cannot be destroyed 100%, the safety of metal materials is bound to be higher than that of plastic shells.

For the production of smart locks, different materials will be used in different positions, so each lock will be composed of many materials, of which the lock body and outer panel materials need to be focused on.

Lock body material

At present, the material of the smart lock body is mostly composed of copper + stainless steel. The lock tongue and transmission structure are made of copper, and the outer shell and other places are made of stainless steel. This is the most cost-effective combination.

Copper is used as a material because copper has strong wear resistance, high strength, high hardness, corrosion resistance, and strong plasticity of copper, which can make a lock cylinder with a very fine structure and enhance the safety of the lock cylinder, but The price of copper is more expensive. If the entire lock body is made of copper, the cost will be very high, resulting in a higher price of the entire smart lock.

Although the hardness of stainless steel is higher than that of copper, its plasticity is poor, the processing is difficult, and it is difficult to make a fine lock cylinder structure, so it is usually only used for the external structure of the lock body, which can reduce the overall lock body. cost.

Outer panel material

Compared with the material of the lock body, the material of the outer panel of the smart lock is more optional, so it is more concerned by everyone, and there will be more discussions on the material of the panel. Like the lock body, the outer panel is also composed of many parts, and the materials used for each part are also different, mainly including: stainless steel, copper, aluminum alloy, zinc alloy, glass, plastic, etc.
