Many people think that the door lock of their home should not be particularly expensive, and that there are not many valuable things at home. Changing a smart lock with three or five thousand yuan will have the feeling that there is no silver in this place, which will attract more thieves. On the other hand, the public’s awareness of door locks stays at "it’s enough to close the door". There is no need to buy thousands of smart locks, and hundreds of dollars of smart locks are enough.
However, according to the current overall cost level of the industry, the terminal price is at least about 1000 to buy a qualified smart lock, and there are at least two or three thousand well-known brands.
Therefore, there will be many users’ questions: It is also a smart lock. Why do some sell thousands, while others only sell hundreds? Today, the leader will tell you the difference between hundreds and thousands of smart locks.
A few hundred dollars can’t buy a "assured brand"
The brand has been accumulated for a long time, and once it has formed a certain popularity and reputation, it will increase a lot of added value for enterprise products. Therefore, no matter which industry is in price, brand-name products are much higher than non-brand products. Because the high price of brand-name products must bring corresponding value to users.
In the smart lock industry, most of the products that can sell thousands are brands that have been accumulated for more than ten years or even decades, or brands that have worked hard in recent years, which have been guaranteed in terms of quality and safety.
However, a smart lock on a treasure that only sells a few hundred yuan looks very cheap, but it is a small brand with small workshops, or a new brand that competes at a low price in order to seize the market. It lags far behind the famous brands in production, testing and other equipment, so it has low cost, low quality and of course low price.
A few hundred dollars can’t buy "high quality"
Quality is the life of enterprise development. This truth seems simple, but it is not so easy to do. After all, high quality must pay a high cost. Therefore, no matter in which industry, high-priced products must have quality worthy of high prices.
Many users think it’s just a lock. Both high-priced and low-priced smart locks look the same, so there is no need to spend so much money on a lock. So I spent hundreds of dollars to buy a smart lock from a treasure, but it didn’t take long for all kinds of problems to occur. Maybe the fingerprint can’t be brushed, or it consumes a lot of electricity, or even the fake fingerprint can be opened … All kinds of problems followed.
And thousands of dollars of smart locks, whether from the purchase of raw materials, production technology and factory inspection, each process is strictly required to ensure that each product has no quality defects before it can be listed. And these are difficult for smart lock brands with hundreds of dollars.
A few hundred dollars can’t buy "good service"
Not long ago, it was reported by the media that a young man just bought a house and bought a smart lock with a price of 499 yuan from the Internet to celebrate his housewarming. But before long, the handle actually drooped, and the fingerprints could not be recognized. Finally, the manufacturer was found. But the answer given by the manufacturer is:
500 yuan for a smart lock, the cost of express repair back and forth is at least 100 yuan, and the profit of my lock is only tens of dollars. How can I serve you? It is better to return the goods and buy a smart lock again.
This answer really makes people laugh and cry. From this case, we can draw a conclusion: without profit, where can we get service?
Users who have bought smart locks online will find that smart locks with a price tag of 400-500 yuan are generally not installed, and they need to be installed at home plus 200 yuan, while smart locks with a price of 2000-3000 yuan are not only installed at home, but also provide after-sales guarantee with a three-year warranty. Why is this? This shows that only when there is profit can we provide better services to users.
Therefore, if you want to have a good service for a smart lock with a few hundred dollars, you can only dream!
What smart lock can you buy for a few hundred dollars?
The answer may be-pseudo smart lock! ! !
What many young people want to buy smart locks is the word "smart". Because, as an important part of smart home, smart lock not only has more fingerprints, faces, irises, passwords, etc. in the opening mode, which is more convenient to use, but also can be interconnected with other smart home products.
At present, the smart locks with several hundred yuan on the market can only be regarded as "pseudo-smart locks", but they only have more fingerprints or passwords to unlock than traditional mechanical locks, and cannot be connected with other smart home products. Because to connect with other smart home products, it is necessary to install corresponding modules, which undoubtedly increases the cost, so it is obviously impossible for smart lock brands to reduce costs. Therefore, the smart lock bought for several hundred yuan is actually an electronic lock.

As far as purchasing smart locks is concerned, if you are pursuing safety, convenience and functionality, and pursuing product value, then your budget can’t be controlled at only a few hundred yuan. After all, smart locks are a high-tech product involving many technologies, which is different from ordinary mechanical locks, and the processes in R&D, production and processing are more complicated. Many smart lock brands cost more than 1,000 yuan, which is why we don’t recommend spending hundreds of dollars on smart locks.
Of course, you don’t have to buy expensive smart locks. The key is to get value for money and buy satisfactory and practical products at the most reasonable price.
