Most of the old door locks in many users’ homes are Class A locks, and thieves can only open them in a few seconds through technical means. For "recidivists", Class A locks have the lowest crime cost and are the easiest to get.
Is it necessary to replace ordinary locks with smart locks? Why are smart door locks so popular with young people? The reason is very simple. Smart door locks can bring users a more convenient way to unlock, and their safety factor is higher than that of ordinary door locks.
Locks are the inevitable product of the development of human society. Only with locks can private areas be guarded and personal privacy and property safety be guaranteed. The emergence of smart products such as smart phones, smart TVs and smart washing machines is constantly changing our lives. As an important checkpoint to protect family safety, locks have also begun to change with the development of the times.
First, whether the smart door lock can be replaced depends on the details.
Whether out of respect for the value of home or improvement of residential safety protection, smart door locks have attracted more and more people’s attention and are entering more and more families. Judging from the current market situation, only a few new houses will be equipped with smart doors for owners, or in the renovation of new houses, new owners can also directly purchase and install smart security doors.
However, the most demanding and lowest operating cost is to refit the old security door with smart locks and replace the old mechanical locks. From a rational point of view, if you plan to change the smart door lock during the Spring Festival, then please pay attention to two problems and choose according to your own budget.
1, the material of the door
The installation of intelligent door lock is destructive to the original door body. It is necessary to remove the original mechanical lock on the door and cut the door according to the existing lock body, so as to realize the installation and fixation of intelligent door lock. Therefore, the installation of intelligent door locks has certain requirements on the thickness and material of the door itself.
Generally speaking, common security doors with a thickness of 40mm to 90mm can be equipped with smart locks normally. For some thin wooden doors, wrought iron doors, glass doors, etc., where the security door has been purchased earlier and the door thickness is less than the normal value, forcibly installing the smart lock will easily cause the door body to be broken, so it is necessary to explain and consult the merchant and the installation master in advance when purchasing, otherwise it may be impossible to install it after buying it back.
In addition, some doors with high cost, such as imported door products, need to remove the door edge during installation and reconstruction, and cannot be restored, so it is necessary to be cautious to install smart locks.
2. Type of door lock
The type of old mechanical locks may also limit the installation of smart door locks. For example, side locks and exterior door locks, represented by tauren locks, cannot be replaced by smart locks because they are installed outside the door body, and the lock body of the smart lock cannot be placed and the handle of the smart lock cannot be fixed.
Self-locking lock body which locks the door by triggering the locking bolt and other components with a narrow door crack may cause the situation that the door cannot be closed after installing the smart lock. In addition, this kind of lock body is special and the door structure is complicated, so it is not suitable for refitting the smart lock.
Second, matters needing attention in purchasing smart door locks
At present, there are many smart door lock products on the market, and the price of the products ranges from several hundred to several thousand. As ordinary consumers, what details should we pay attention to when purchasing smart door locks? The old driver gave you some advice.
1. Look at the brand
After all, the door lock is related to the safety of the family, so you should choose it well when you buy it. I have to say that the product quality of big brands is still reliable to a certain extent, so I suggest that when buying smart door locks, you should try to choose some well-known big brands, which will guarantee both product quality and after-sales service.
2, look at the performance
For smart door locks, the security performance of products is irreplaceable by other door lock products. When choosing the security performance of the smart lock, the first thing to pay attention to must be practicality and convenience. Only on this premise can we really make the best use of it. In addition to several common functions, there are many other security functions, which should be selected according to your own needs.
3. Look at the price
Product price is a difficult thing to measure. It is a normal phenomenon that some products of the same kind have high prices and some have low prices. However, it is also wrong to choose products with good quality and high prices. We ordinary people don’t have to spend 10 thousand yuan to buy a smart door lock.
For the price range of smart door locks, the old driver suggested that everyone start with a C-class lock core. The smart door locks with a price of about 1599-2299 yuan on the market are very easy to use and have rich functions; If your budget is limited, it’s not bad to start with the thousand-yuan-level products owned by big brands, and pay attention to those products marked with "defensible little black boxes". They may have fewer functions, but they can also protect our homes for ordinary people.
