Door locks are a guarantee of home safety, so how to choose smart locks is also a subject of knowledge. When choosing a Smart Lock, I wonder if everyone has paid attention to its material? The quality of different materials is definitely different, so how can we distinguish them?

How to distinguish the materials of smart locks?

1. Panel

The difference between stainless steel and zinc alloy can also be distinguished from the panel of the lock itself. Generally, the gloss of stainless steel is darker, while that of zinc alloy is brighter. For those with polishing and PVD processes, this cannot be determined. It can be comprehensively judged based on the appearance and panel workmanship.

2. Weight

The weight of stainless steel door locks is heavier than that of zinc alloy door locks, which can be significantly felt from the touch.

3. Material

The stainless steel door lock material is hard, and there is no positioning support hole scattered on the centerline of the inner surface of the panel when exposed; The zinc alloy door lock material is soft, and there are 4-8 positioning support holes scattered around the periphery and center of the inner surface of the panel when exposed.

4. Appearance

Generally, stainless steel smart locks cannot be made into shapes, and the foundation is in a square style. Therefore, if the appearance is very square, it may be stainless steel; Zinc alloy can be formed and can produce molds with a certain arc, so it is generally more likely that zinc alloy has a certain arc. Because zinc alloy is not as restricted as stainless steel, many smart locks nowadays use zinc alloy materials, which have a better appearance and more stylish styles. And the stainless steel has a bright yellow head, and the zinc alloy surface has been electroplated, making it very bright.

With slight modifications in software and hardware, intelligent locks can form an intelligent distributed monitoring network, achieving centralized monitoring and management within a certain scale. They have widespread application prospects in finance, insurance, military areas, and other security and defense fields.
