Digital fingerprint lock makes up for the shortcomings of short-board brand promotion

**Smart Lock Market is Undergoing Major Transformations** It is well known that traditional anti-theft locks rely on mechanical key systems. Although there are various key shapes, the basic principle remains the same: inserting a key into the lock’s keyhole and using its notches to align with the internal components, allowing the lock to open smoothly. However, due to the limited combinations of keys and lock mechanisms, it's possible for a key from an upper floor to unlock a door on a lower floor. This limitation has long been a concern in terms of security. With the rapid growth of high-end buildings in China, the development of intelligent digital electronic locks has become inevitable. The market for smart locks in new housing projects is expanding quickly. As the government strengthens real estate regulation and environmental awareness increases, housing prices are gradually returning to more reasonable levels. In this new phase of competition, factors such as environmental protection, energy efficiency, intelligence, and security are becoming key differentiators. As a result, the demand for high-end digital electronic locks is steadily rising. According to a survey on physical access control, over 70% of end users and 80% of industry respondents believe that within the next three to five years, they will prefer to use mobile phones, key cards, or biometric authentication instead of traditional keys. This shift clearly indicates that the smart lock market is on the verge of a major transformation. **Digital Fingerprint Locks Could Address Technological Gaps** Currently, most locks in China are mechanical mortise or ball locks. These locks are simple in design and, when made with quality materials and proper manufacturing processes, rarely face serious quality issues. However, these products lack technological innovation and are difficult to upgrade. After nearly two decades of development, the domestic lock industry has seen little breakthrough, with product functions remaining focused on practicality and security. The main efforts of companies have been on quality control and aesthetic improvements. It's no exaggeration to say that the low technical content of these locks has hindered the industry's progress. However, the emergence of electronic fingerprint locks has brought about a significant change in the hardware lock sector. With the advancement of intelligent security technology and the widespread use of chips, electronic fingerprint locks have gained momentum. Major brands like Huitailong, Bailemen, Mingmen, and Sakura have already introduced smart fingerprint locks. Puxin Hardware is also investing heavily in developing digital smart lock solutions, setting up dedicated production workshops. Industry experts suggest that smart fingerprint locks could be the last "blue ocean" in the lock industry, offering substantial market potential, higher profit margins, and significant after-sales revenue. For a company to survive, it must balance two aspects: high-value products that generate greater profits and volume products that attract customer attention and enhance brand visibility. For lock manufacturers, ball locks can serve as volume products, while mortise and electronic locks offer better profit margins. **Brand Promotion is Key to Growth** Many lock companies still lack a strong marketing strategy and channel development plan. Their marketing teams are often underdeveloped, leading to limited reach and influence. To grow, lock enterprises need to restructure their channels, invest more in regional marketing teams, explore new sales avenues, and focus on brand promotion. A balanced national market approach is essential for sustainable development. Traditionally, lock companies have focused on large domestic gate enterprises, neglecting smaller and mid-sized businesses. This short-sighted approach limits market expansion. According to surveys in cities like Panjin, many small and medium-sized enterprises have limited lock demand due to low monthly sales. When they try to partner with lock companies, they often face rejection due to low order volumes and high mold costs. In recent years, with the booming real estate market and improved living standards, the demand for premium interior finishes and one-stop shopping experiences has increased. Consumers now prefer convenient, time-saving solutions that reduce hassle. Private enterprises in China have emerged as a driving force in the lock industry. Expanding into European and American markets could be a crucial step in broadening the global presence of Chinese hardware lock manufacturers. In conclusion, lock companies must stay updated with market trends, serve the majority of potential customers, avoid short-term gains, and focus on future needs. Understanding the market and the "heart" of the door business, they should seize the opportunities presented by the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises and build strong partnerships.
