Picking a smart lock? It's important to know what it's made of and if it'll last. At Locstar, we want to make stuff that's easy to use and keeps your family safe. Let's talk about what smart locks are made of and how strong they are, in simple terms.
Smart locks are way better than old-school locks. They mix fancy tech with strong security. The best ones have cool features and are built tough, so they can handle everyday use and keep bad guys out.
The outside of your lock has to deal with weather and possible break-ins. So, we use tough stuff.
Most good smart locks, like ours, use zinc alloy on the outside. This stuff is super strong and looks good. It's hard to break or mess with, which makes it tough for anyone to get through.
Zinc alloy feels heavy and solid, which tells you it's made well. When you put it on your door, you'll see it's strong and made with care.
Inside Stuff: Where the Security Happens
The stuff inside your lock actually keeps your door locked. These parts need to hold up to lots of use and maybe even someone trying to break in.
Inside a lock, you'll find strong steel parts. This is what really locks your door. Steel is super hard, so it's tough to cut or drill through.
The steel inside works with the outside to keep your place safe. Even if someone damages the outside, the lock should still work.
Your door lock is always getting hit by weather, hot and cold, and wetness. Good smart locks can handle this without breaking down.
Smart locks have special coatings to keep them safe from the weather. These coatings keep out water, so they don't rust or get ruined. They also keep the lock looking good, even in the sun.
Good smart locks work in all kinds of weather. Whether it's freezing or burning hot, your lock should still work right.
A smart lock should last for years, even if you use it every day.
If you have a fingerprint lock, the scanner is made to last. It can handle scratches and still read your fingerprint. The surface is made to stay clean and keep reading your print clearly.
Keypad locks have buttons that can be pressed a lot without wearing out. They'll still feel good and look good after years of use.
Smart locks need power, but good ones make sure you don't get locked out if the power goes out.
Smart locks don't use much power, so the batteries last for months. You'll get a warning when the batteries are low so you can change them.
Every good lock has a backup way to get in:
* A real key that you can use like a normal lock
* A place to plug in a battery if the power goes out
* Other ways to get in that don't need power
Take care of your lock so it lasts.
Wipe the outside with a soft, wet cloth to get rid of dirt. Don't use strong cleaners that could ruin the finish.
Check your lock often to make sure everything works. Try the electronic and the regular lock to be sure.
Change the batteries when you're supposed to, and use good batteries.
Think about these things when you pick a lock:
If you live in a place where there's more crime, you might need a stronger lock.
Pick a lock that can handle the weather where you live. If you live near the ocean, get one that won't rust.
If you're going to use the lock a lot, get one that's made for heavy use.
The stuff your lock is made of changes:
* How safe it is from break-ins
* How long it lasts
* How well it handles the weather
* How good it is overall
If you get a good lock made of good stuff, it'll be easy to use and keep you safe for a long time.
