I. Preface
Mushroom home is still an old mechanical lock, and it is very inconvenient to always bring a key when going out every day. It’s okay in winter, and there are more pockets. In summer, it’s difficult to bring keys. In addition, you need to use the key to unlock and lock when you enter or leave the house, which is cumbersome and slightly annoying.
Occasionally, I will hang you out of the door because I forgot my key, lost my key, and the wind blew the door, which is very embarrassing. Although this kind of incident is accidental, it will impress you once.
Mushroom wants to choose a good fingerprint lock and replace the mechanical lock at home. After some searching, I chose TCL’s K6C fingerprint smart lock, which looks very good.
