What is the difference between smart locks and home locks?

Hotel locks, as the name suggests, are used for hotel rooms. The characteristic of hotel rooms is that the user flow is high, so the key holder will keep changing. For better management, the door opening method of hotel locks must be single and easy to change, so most hotel locks use card locks.
The technology of card locks is very mature, and the issuance and management of cards can be effectively solved through the door lock management system. The door lock management system consists of a computer, a smart card reader, and management software, responsible for issuing various functional IC cards, managing hotel rooms, managing check-in guest information, and querying and statistics of the above information. It can be seen that the use requirements of hotel locks are easy to manage and operate.
Household locks are used in households, and for families, the use of members is very stable, so there is a high demand for convenience in operation. Therefore, the door opening method of household locks is generally a combination of multiple methods, such as password, fingerprint, remote control, card swiping, mechanical key unlocking, etc. For the types of locks, most families prefer fingerprint locks, which are also due to their stability, uniqueness, and difficulty in copying. Therefore, fingerprint unlocking is currently a relatively safe and convenient way to open the door.
So, we can see that the biggest difference between hotel locks and household locks lies in the way they open the door and manage them, while the safety of smart locks is related to the lock cylinder level and lock body material structure. Therefore, it is not that hotel locks have higher safety than household locks. In terms of security, some household smart locks do even better!
