There is still a chance to change the lock of the security door of my house.It's not me talking nonsense, it's the worker who installed the lock. In the past 7 years, my family has changed 3 sets of locks, and each time I install the locks, I need to punch holes or reams in the door. Today's security doors are almost unlocked, and the installer said that at most one set of locks will be changed, otherwise the door will have to be changed.
The smart door lock is being installed.
The price of my three sets of locks has ranged from a few hundred yuan to five or six thousand yuan now. Today I met a friend who asked me after hearing my storyWhy should you go after high-end locks?
I don't seem to have thought about this question before, but I just took it for granted that a more expensive lock must be better. But is that really the case?
I would say: safety is more secure
But: All locks are Class C cylinders
The anti-theft level of anti-theft door locks is divided into A, B, C**, and all smart door locks have the highest grade C. This means that whether it is a smart door lock of a few hundred yuan or a smart door lock of several thousand yuan, their technical unlocking difficulty is the same.
Smart door locks also have the possibility of electronic unlocking, but the required anti-theft capabilities are now standard
Biometric fingerprint unlocking, which is available for all smart locks;Unlock with virtual password, all smart locks have;
The internal and external lock bodies are independent, and all smart locks have them;
Violent demolition alarm, all smart locks have;
Dual-chip encryption, all smart locks have ......
In other words, a more expensive lock doesn't mean more secure. And think about it from another angle: people with lock-picking skills don't need to do petty theft; Besides, we ordinary people don't have anything to steal at home.
I would say: it's more convenient to use
However, the commonly used way to unlock the lock is fingerprint
* The biggest difference between locks and low-cost locks is "function", just take the unlocking method as an example:
The door is unlocked, and the lock is only a few hundred dollarsPress the handleThis one way. Add some money and you'll be fineInstall a button on the door lockand press the button to unlock the lock. Add a little more money, and you canInstall a sensor on the door lockYou can also unlock the sensor by holding it in your hand.
Hold the sensor to unlock.
The door is unlocked, and the lock of several hundred yuan can be passedFingerprints and passwordsTwo ways. High-end locks, generally withFace recognitionFunction - automatic identification when outsiders approach the door lock, and automatic unlocking after successful identification.
But let's be honest, these two upgrades aren't that perfect:
With a lock with a sensor, the button will become small.
The door is unlocked in a way thatSensors are the most inconvenient。For example, if I have something in my hand, I have to put it on the ground and then hold the sensor with my hand when I unlock it.
The way to unlock the door is onThe so-called "face recognition" is just a gimmick。The recognition rate is too low, and if you put on makeup and wear a mask, you will fail to recognize. If someone passes by at the door, it will be randomly recognized, and if the identification is wrong, an alarm will be sounded.
Face recognition unlocking.
I want to say: the appearance is higher
But: the lock body has very little effect on the door
In the past, I thought that smart door locks can absolutely prevent the appearance of the door. Later, I found out that I was wrong: the corridor was dark, and I could only see whether you were installing a smart lock, and I couldn't see the details of the smart lock at all.
Take my house for example:
At first, although the lock in my house was cheap, the surface was golden, and there was a large glass panel that was very bright. Later, a set of black locks was replaced, and it was no longer noticeable. Again, not only is it black, but the glass panel is gone, and it is completely black.
Of course, "glass panels" are not a good thing. The glass on the password plate is easy to stick fingerprints, so that people can guess the password at home. Therefore, it is still necessary to upgrade the panel to a frosted surface and metal material. 」
Speaking of which, some people may still think: black is black, and you have nothing to lose!
It's too simple to think so, I actually lost: high-end locks often have very expensive materials, such as pure copper and solid wood on my door locks
These materials have no practical meaning, they are simply for the sake of looking good.
The more expensive the lock, the more high-end the material.
So since the door lock has such a small impact on the appearance of the door, why should I pay for these high-end materials? The key is not to pay: high-end materials have become the standard configuration on high-end smart locks, and you can't pay for it if you want to.
Summary
The smart door lock of several hundred yuan is indeed a little worse in terms of security, such as glass code plate, handle unlocking method, etc. However, there is no such problem with smart door locks of more than 1,000 yuan, and it is not necessary to upgrade to high-end products. Therefore, to buy a smart door lock, the most recommended price is 1000 yuan 3000 yuan.
