We use RFID technology every day, although sometimes we don't know RFID . For example, when taking public transportation, when using a passport to board the plane or when paying in a store. A brief introduction to the history of RFID technology. In 1983, American inventor Charles Walton granted the first patent (US patent) using the term RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). Although many people actually contributed to and helped the invention of RFID technology, Charles Walton obtained 10 patents for RFID-related equipment. What is RFID lock RFID is an acronym for radio frequency identification. This refers to a non-contact technology in which the electromagnetic field in the card reader automatically recognizes the digital data encoded in the RFID tag. RFID lock is a key card access lock, commonly used in enterprises, hospitals, hotels, dormitories, gym and other commercial places.Take the RFID locker lock as an example. Its key (usually in the form of a card or fob) is a tag. The working principle of RFID locking First, the code of the key card contains the data on the RFID chip contained in the card, and then it is connected to the computer system. Locks, key cards, and computer systems all work together using encrypted data sent over radio frequency. When you have a card and a certain distance from the lock, the key card, lock and computer system will exchange the required data at this time, and as long as the data matches, you will gain access. The benefits of RFID lock The rfid key card replaces the mechanical key, it does not need to touch the lock, and is more convenient than the mechanical key. RFID key cards are more difficult to copy than traditional keys, so RFID locks are more secure. And RFID locks can be installed on a wide range of doors and furniture, suitable for use in many different businesses and applications.

Biometric cabinet locks or smart cabinet locks are devices that allow you to unlock your cabinet with the combination of a fingerprint and PIN. Biometric cabinet locks use personally identifiable information instead of traditional keys. They use a thermal or optical scanner to store the fingerprints of anyone who is authorised to open your locker. Once the scanner determines that you are an authorised user, it prompts you to enter a PIN to unlock the locker. How does biometric lock work? Biometric terminology refers to the use of physical characteristics to identify a person. Biometric scanning has been around for quite some time. Most people are familiar with its existence from seeing it in spy movies when a character scans their hand or eyes to open a door. Common features used for biometrics are fingerprints, retina or iris structures, facial recognition or hand geometry. The most common biometric used for gun safes is the fingerprint, which cannot be imitated or stolen in the same way as a gun security code. Potential problems with biometric lock Biometrics may seem secure on the surface. After all, you're the only one with ears, eyes and fingerprints. But this is not necessarily more secure than a password. Passwords are essentially private because you are the only person who knows them. Of course, hackers can access it through brute force attacks or phishing, but generally speaking, people can't access it. Biometrics, on the other hand, are inherently public. Whenever you look at something, you reveal your eyes. With fingerprint recognition, wherever you go, you leave your fingerprints behind. With voice recognition, someone is recording your voice. Essentially, all these identifiers can be accessed easily. Once a hacker has a picture of someone's ear, eye or finger, they can easily access their account.As biometrics reveals a part of the user's identity, if stolen it can be used to forge legal documents, passports or criminal records, which can cause more damage than a stolen credit card number.

However, smart locks and electronic locks work differently, therefore which one to purchase depends on your preferences and needs.By understanding the differences between the two, you will be better able to decide which one to purchase. Different Definitions Smart locks are electromechanicallocks which are designed to perform locking and unlocking operations on a door when they receive such instructions from an authorized device using a wireless protocol and a cryptographic key to execute the authorization process. They also monitor access and send alerts for the different events it monitors and some other critical events related to the status of the device. Smart locks can be considered part of a smart home. Electronic locks (or electric locks) are locking devices that are operated by electric current. Electric locks are sometimes self-contained, with the electronic control assembly mounted directly on the lock. Electric locks can be connected to an access control system and the benefits include: key control, where keys can be added and removed without re-keying the lock cylinder: fine access control, where time and location are factors: and transaction logging, where activity is recorded. Electronic locks can also be monitored and controlled remotely, both for locking and unlocking. Different Types Smart locks usually include keypad combination locks, keyless and wireless Bluetooth WiFi locks, biometric fingerprint locks, and RFID swipe locks. Electronic locks usually include electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, electric bolt locks, electric motor lock, and electronic rotary latches. Different Features Smart locks usually have remote access control, multiple ways to unlock, high security one-time password, garbled unlocking, low voltage alarm and other such features. Electronic locks have many different locking systems and can be used in a variety of applications.They can avoid problems caused by damage, lost keys, stolen keys, etc. These are some of the main futures which make electronic locks very popular in many industries:Private mode, Public mode, Automatically open, Operator password and master password, Emergency ride key, Standard AA batteries-up to 80,000 cycles per pair of batteries, Wet zone

Smart locks are modern and helpful but above all they’re extremely convenient. We all know the advantages of smart locks. No need to carry around a mechanical key. You can control the lock via Bluetooth, APP, Wi-Fi or any other methods. But all these aggravate the power consumption of the smart lock. What if the battery of the smart lock is depleted? Many smart locks will have a USB port for emergency external power supply. If this is the case, then you can power your smart lock through this USB port. Some smart locks also support external battery boxes to power them, so you can also power your smart lock directly from the battery box. In addition, there are some smart locks that will provide an emergency solution like a USB emergency key. In this case, you can unlock the lock directly via this "key". Most of the smart locks should have low voltage alarm function. When the voltage reaches a critical value it will trigger a low voltage alarm to remind the user to replace the battery or charge it. So we have to replace the battery or charge it immediately when the lock sends out a low voltage alarm, so as to avoid the dilemma of running out of battery and not being able to unlock it.

The rotary latch is composed of a locking mechanism, an actuator and a cable. Bolts are usually installed on the opposite part of the mating locking mechanism. When activated, the cam or rotor of the rotary latch will turn or rotate. It has a spring-loaded mechanism that enables a push-to-close function, similar to a slam latch. Rotary latches are made of iron material and galvanized, and are usually used for doors and panels of heavy equipment.Its durable structure is very suitable for extreme environments. Simple operating functions and flexible drive options make it easy to adapt to multiple installations. A unique feature of the Rotary Latch is its remote drive. A cable connects the actuator to the locking mechanism. This makes it possible to keep the actuator at a distance from the rotary latch. Pulling on the actuator rotates the rotor, which releases the latch. The actuator is pulled in one direction only. A mechanism with a spring is therefore required to return the rotor to its position. Rotary locks are available with a single or double rotor. The single rotor rotary latch provides the basic function of keeping the door closed. Double rotor rotary latch have two adjacent mirrored single rotors. They are more rigid because of the two rotor fixing bolts. The double rotor types have a wider catch opening than the single rotor types. Therefore they are more tolerant of misalignment.
