According to experts, high-tech products, such as biometrics and electronic technology, are currently in a blank stage in the consumer market of locks. However, the desire of consumers in this area is increasing every year.

The lock-making enterprises have developed IC card electronic door locks, electronic code locks, encrypted magnetic card door locks, floor apartment intercom alarm systems, valve locks, and fingerprint locks. Because the high-end locks have high technical content, more prominent humanity and individualized features, the profits of the products are also relatively high. In addition, with the rapid replacement of lock products, high-end locks will gradually become the mainstream of locks.

In the first half of this year, the prices of raw materials such as copper and aluminum rose several times. As the cost rises, the rising price of the product can not reach one-tenth of the cost. If the price of the product rises as much as the cost, the customer will lose. Therefore, business households have stated that the industry urgently needs technology and industrial upgrading to update its brand innovation model. Innovations in the lock industry require companies to change their concepts, change ideas based on imitation, master independent technologies, increase investment in equipment, technology, R&D, and patent innovation, increase product technology content, and increase product differentiation; companies should pay attention to Promote brand awareness and implement brand strategy, so as to change their position, grab high-end market share, and promote the healthy and rapid development of the industry.
