How to choose a smart door lock?

There are not only many brands of smart door locks, but also many specifications, so before purchasing, you must first measure whether your door can be installed with smart locks, and what kind of smart locks can be installed.

Not all doors can be installed with smart life door locks, but mainstream anti-theft doors in recent years can be installed. Some non-brand anti-theft doors that come with developers may need to be punched and modified before they can be installed, while some fence doors and wooden doors can be installed. , glass doors and the like can not be installed at all, so the first one should be optimistic about whether your door can be installed with a smart lock.

Determine the specific matching of the door after the smart lock can be installed. Mainly look at two points, one is the opening direction of the door. Security doors open outwards, so it is better to open to the right or to the left. The second is the lock body, which is mainly the side strip on the side of the door. Generally speaking, there are ordinary lock bodies and overlord lock bodies. The overlord lock body is larger and has a set of ring hooks, making the door stronger and safer. Naturally the price is also more expensive. In order to save costs, many smart lock manufacturers do not use a Bawang lock body, but use an ordinary lock body with a Bawang lock body guide piece to achieve the purpose of compatibility, so the safety is naturally worse.

The guide pieces are also very different, and you need to choose the right one. The common ones are square lock bodies. Individual high-end anti-theft doors will use round lock bodies, so the corresponding guide pieces are naturally different. Therefore, when choosing a door lock, not only the lock body part, but also the shape of the wire sheet on the door frame. Not compatible.

Then measure the thickness of the door, the length and width of the guide piece, and also look at the screw holes of the side bars, whether they are single or double holes. Most smart locks will come with a side strip to help users be compatible with different lock bodies, and some smart locks are not compatible with the overlord lock body, so this should also be seen clearly.

Although those that can be opened with passwords and fingerprints are called smart locks, according to different structures, smart door locks are divided into three types: manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic. In fact, the main difference is whether manual intervention is required to unlock and lock the door.

A really easy-to-use smart door lock must be able to be independently connected to the Internet, and it can realize remote control of the mobile phone app, such as recording the time of opening and closing the door, unlocking it remotely or providing a temporary password to unlock it. At least this can be called a smart door lock.
