Fingerprint lock is a better choice. But for those who are used to using traditional mechanical locks, it remains to be seen whether smart locks will be purchased.
2.Demand
People buy Intelligent Lock, the main reason is no more than three, safety, convenience, face engineering. First of all, in terms of security, many intelligent locks on the traditional lock a comprehensive upgrade, lock core for the highest (c-level) super B-304 stainless steel anti-theft lock body, one precision cast multi-point lock tongue, semiconductor fingerprint lock anti-imitation fingerprint, as well as a variety of anti-open, anti-prying, anti-cracking self-defense alarm system.

4.Price
The price of a smart lock ranged from 1,200 to 4,000 yuan. It was similar to the price of a door, and some were even more expensive than a door. It was tens or even tens of times more expensive than a traditional mechanical lock. However, smart locks are not just upgrades to traditional mechanical locks.
The development and production of a smart lock requires the beginning of mold design and the integration of complex technologies such as fingerprint identification and electronic passwords. The process has gone through a long period of debugging and testing, the cost is also tens of hundreds of times that of mechanical locks. At the same time, the intelligent lock relative to the mechanical lock, but also bear a huge after-sales cost, so the price of natural disparity. The comparison between them is no different from the comparison between a 100-yuan feature phone and a few thond-yuan smart phone.
