Intelligent door locks can be said to be the most popular items in home decoration in recent years, especially favored by young people. However, smart door locks have actually been in the domestic market for almost a decade. Previously, smart door locks were very expensive, had limited functions, and even had many defects in their user experience. At that time, people's thinking was generally more old-fashioned, and they felt that fingerprint locks were not safe, so the early adoption of intelligent door locks was very rare. Door locks for families were also very rare.

The initial smart locks, whether in setup, operation, or use, were very complex. I remember my uncle's house installed a combination lock, which was like this; because it only used a digital password to unlock the lock, to ensure security, every six months, I had to sneak around, find a quiet night, under the corridor lights, and follow the complex word-filled small manual step by step to reset the password... But I have to say, losing a password is still more convenient than carrying a key.

And now the latest smart locks can already sit on the sofa, through the mobile phone can be paired, set and other security equipment at home linkage, and support a variety of ways to unlock, such as NFC, facial recognition, etc., can be said to be much more convenient.

The most important thing is that the price of fingerprint locks is now also much lower compared to the past, from the previous home furnishing luxuries to home furnishing necessities.

The entry-level for intelligent door locks is very low, but achieving success is very difficult. Although there are thousands of brands on the market now, most of them are doing OEM. Finding a factory to do OEM makes it still quite difficult for the average consumer to choose. Brands that produce professional locks generally have slightly higher product quality. Furthermore, most of them have offline stores, so the pre-sales and after-sales experience is better. However, the shortcomings are also obvious: the functions of basic models are single, and while flagship models have more functions, the premium is significant.

The advantage of the Internet brand locks is that the technology iteration is fast, the function is diverse, and the style is more than the traditional brand; in addition, it has a better marketing ability than the traditional brand, which can be spread among the young people; the disadvantage is that the quality and after-sales service is relatively a little bit weaker.

Cross-border brands are a blend of traditional door lock brands and various characteristics of Internet brands. According to different brands, their displayed capabilities are not the same, and they will not be elaborated one by one here.
