What is the difference between a smart lock and an electronic lock?

Customer question: What is the difference between smart locks and electronic locks

Kerong answers: Smart locks include electronic locks. Smart locks are an upgraded version of electronic locks.


Electronic locks: Electronic locks mainly control the opening and closing of locks through biometric technologies such as electronic passwords and fingerprints. At its core, the electronic control module is activated by a digital password input or biometric identification (e.g., fingerprint), which in turn drives the mechanical parts to unlock or lock them. An electronic lock simplifies the way traditional door locks are opened, so that users no longer rely on physical keys, but it is still essentially a stand-alone security device whose main function is to prevent trespassing.


Smart locks: Smart locks have been upgraded on the basis of electronic locks, introducing more advanced technology and intelligent functions. It not only supports a variety of unlocking methods (such as password, fingerprint, Bluetooth, APP remote control, etc.), but more importantly, it can be connected to the smart home system to achieve linkage with other smart devices. For example, when a user opens a door with a smart lock, the entryway light can be automatically triggered to turn on, or when the user leaves the house and locks it, the appliances in the home can be automatically turned off. In addition, the smart lock can also monitor the status of the door lock in real time through the mobile phone APP, and receive abnormal alarms, which further improves the level of home security.



Kerong summary: There are significant differences between smart locks and electronic locks in terms of technical principles, functional characteristics and user experience. As an upgraded version of electronic locks, smart locks not only inherit the convenience of electronic locks, but also provide users with more comprehensive and safe home security solutions by introducing intelligent technologies and functions. With the continuous development and growth of the smart home market, smart locks will surely become the preferred security products for more families in the future.
