Chinese locks have a long history. Wooden locks were discovered at the Shao cultural site, bronze locks appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and metal locks were widely produced and used in the Eastern Han Dynasty. With the progress of the times and the development of science and technology, people's demand for locks has also begun to change, from the original traditional metal locks to fingerprint locks and electronic locks.

Every year, my country continuously invests in the research of high-tech locks, effectively responding to the market demand for high-end locks. Smart locks are products that integrate electronic technology, integrated circuit technology, a large number of electronic components, and a variety of innovative identification technologies. As a new generation of identification technology, fingerprint locks have more and more obvious advantages, and will replace mechanical locks as the new favorite of the lock industry. The current situation of China's door lock market and the future development trend of my country's most important lock production bases are concentrated in Zhejiang, Guangdong, Shandong and other places.

In terms of product types, padlocks, ball locks, handle locks, etc. still have a large market space. Bicycle locks, motorcycle locks, car locks and special-purpose locks are also changing with the development of upstream products. Fingerprint locks, smart locks , Building walkie-talkie has become an indispensable functional product in modern social life.

At present, the annual sales of China's lock industry is about 40 billion yuan, and the output is 1.9 billion. According to customs statistics, the average annual export growth rate of the lock industry during the "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" period reached 31%, which is twice the average growth rate of the entire hardware industry. In the first half of 2011, the export value of locks was 2.082 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 15.9%. According to this calculation, the annual export value was about 4.6 billion US dollars; the locks import value was 273 million US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 16.2%. It is estimated that the annual import value will reach $550 million. The increase in the import value of the lock industry and the increasing demand for high-end products in the domestic market have led to more and more international brands entering the Chinese market, which will bring huge challenges to domestic enterprises. However, there is still a considerable gap between the overall level of processing equipment in my country's lock-making industry and the international advanced level. Medium and low-end mechanical locks are still the main product, lacking high-level scientific and technological talents and management talents, and enterprises have insufficient anti-risk capabilities. To this end, my country's lock-making enterprises should actively adopt new processes, new materials, new technologies and new equipment to improve the overall level of the industry. It is necessary to attach importance to product quality, make more efforts in improving enterprise management level, eliminate outdated production processes, and improve the quality of employees, and use excellent products to meet challenges. Smart home and smart locks have a long history In the field of smart homes, door locks are another product with a wide audience after light bulbs. The addition of a large number of manufacturers has rapidly promoted the development speed and also allowed consumers to have a wide range of products to choose from.

In 2014, the scale of China's smart home market reached 28.61 billion yuan. It is expected to exceed 300 billion yuan in 2020, and the market potential is huge. It is expected that with the continuous improvement of Internet technology, if the "new generation" smart home products can take the lead in this market, it will have an immeasurable effect on enterprises and industries. The status of locks in the smart home cannot be ignored. We cannot complete every part of the smart home. As long as we develop it well, we will have a great "money plan".

In today's society, technology is the core, intelligence is the trend, and home intelligence and convenience have become the mainstream of life. Smart products are everywhere, smart buildings, smart homes, smart transportation, smart…... As intelligence gradually penetrates into people's lives, door locks for anti-theft have also undergone cross-generational changes. The appearance has changed people's cognition of locks and their habits of using locks to a certain extent.

Fingerprint lock is the perfect crystallization of computer information technology, electronic technology, mechanical technology and modern hardware technology. The use of human biometric fingerprints for identity security identification and authentication to open doors has the characteristics of irreplaceable, irreplaceable and unique. It adopts high-tech digital image processing, biometric identification and DSP algorithms and other technologies. It is a new generation of access control that meets modern security requirements. system. It is widely used in government agencies, banks, high-end apartments and other places that require absolute security and privacy.

"Compared with traditional mechanical locks, fingerprint locks are safer and more convenient. It can also integrate false passwords, anti-theft alarms, smart home and other functions, and has multiple protections against theft. For example, thieves can't open the door with fake fingerprints and want to break the door. When entering, the fingerprint lock can automatically activate the anti-theft alarm function to notify the owner or the security of the community. In addition, some high-level fingerprint locks can also be networked with smart homes. When a thief climbs in from the window, the smart connected to the fingerprint lock will be triggered. home equipment, which can trigger an alarm.”

The intelligent anti-theft function of fingerprint locks is more and more recognized, and more and more ordinary families have abandoned old-fashioned mechanical locks and began to use advanced fingerprint locks; so in the future, fingerprint locks will become a trend and enter the common people's home.
