Locks, no matter in which era, it is always inseparable from security. From the knot rope to the stone block, from the later bone bolts, wooden door bolts, wooden pin bolts, mud copy to all kinds of locks with copper as the main material, and now A/B/C locks, all In the fight with the thief and the game.

Of course, every upgrade of theft technology also promotes the upgrade of the security of the lock. Therefore, the safety of locks and the unlocking of technology are always a relationship between spear and shield. They are different and promote each other. For thieves, I hope that there is no lock that can't be opened in the world, and for lock companies, preventing thieves is always the goal of the company.

Under the current background of intelligence and information, locks are constantly developing and progressing with the trend of the times, and more intelligent locks are gradually approaching people's horizons. In the eyes of many users, the security of locks is always in the first place, and attention is paid to convenience only after security is resolved. Therefore, many users are always hesitant when buying smart locks: Is smart lock really safe? Some people think that the smart lock is also cheaper than 3000, expensive over 10,000, this is not obvious to tell the thief: "My home is using smart lock, my family is very rich, you come to steal!" And users with such similar emotions are not few. So for them, to buy a high-tech smart lock that is thief, it is better to buy a mechanical lock with a higher safety level. From the perspective of security, this is not wrong.

However, the safety of locks can be divided into two aspects: on the one hand, to protect the safety of family property; on the other hand, to protect the personal safety of family members. The security of these two aspects has proved difficult to achieve in the era of mechanical locks.

With regard to the safety of family property, it is to prevent thieves from entering the room from outside the door. Regardless of the mechanical lock or the smart lock, the purpose is to increase the cost of committing the thief. Whether the mechanical lock is open or violent, the cost of the crime is very low, and it can often be stolen without knowing it, and there is no trace on the door.

Although the smart lock is suspected of being swayed, it belongs to the category of active burglary, and the cost of committing crimes to thieves is higher. First of all, at present, most smart locks have anti-violence and anti-technical alarms, which means that as long as someone wants to enter the room through these two means, the user's mobile phone can receive the information at the first time and make emergency measures according to the situation.

Second, most of the current smart locks have remote monitoring capabilities. That is to say, in the case that all kinds of preventive measures are invalid, the smart lock can also take photos or videos for remote evidence to be used as evidence. Even if the thief successfully opens the lock and burglary, it will not escape the legal sanctions in the future. Therefore, smart locks are only shocking to thieves, not thieves.

There are two situations concerning the personal safety of the family. One is when the family is at home, the criminals want to enter the room by opening the lock, which poses a threat to the family’s personal safety. The other is to forcibly crawl the window and cause the building to fall. Family life poses a threat. In the former case, as with the protection of property security, under the anti-violence, anti-technical opening alarm and remote monitoring, the criminals are basically unable to escape the law.

Most of the incidents of forcibly climbing into the building due to the lock of the door were caused by forgetting to bring the key or losing the key. The smart lock can just make up for the shortcomings of the mechanical lock. Just enter the fingerprint or enter the password to open the door. It won't bring you the trouble of forgetting the key or losing the key.

In summary, smart locks are not a tool for thieves, but a high-tech means of forming a powerful deterrent effect on thieves and increasing the cost of their crimes, and can effectively protect the personal safety of their families. Therefore, the replacement of mechanical locks with smart locks is the general trend.
