With the rapid development of the concept of smart home, smart locks have entered more and more families. So how to choose a suitable smart lock and install it normally? Today, Xiaobian is going to popularize the precautions when installing the smart lock, hoping to save you some energy and time.
Material requirements
The first is the requirement of intelligent lock for door material. Generally speaking, most families use metal doors and wooden doors. These materials can be used to install smart locks, but glass doors can't be used to install smart locks, neither the thickness nor the opening can meet the use requirements.
Gate thickness
Before we buy the smart lock, we need to measure the thickness of the installed door. Generally, the thickness of the door needs to be 45mm ~ 120mm. If it is outside this range, it cannot be installed. The measured thickness data needs to be reserved, and the customer service needs to be explained at the same time of purchase, so as to avoid the dilemma that the door lock selected does not match the thickness and cannot be installed when the installation master comes to the door. Smart lock is related to family safety. It is more reliable to choose a big brand with good service, such as TCL.
Lock core data
After the thickness measurement, the next step needs to be taken: the distance between the lock cylinder and the edge of the door frame, and the distance between the lock cylinder and the bump on the door body surface. This data is for the installation master to better understand the flatness of our door surface. On the one hand, it is to determine the good location of the lock hole. If it is matched with the replaced smart lock lock hole, it is not necessary to re open the hole. On the other hand, it is also to make the lock cylinder of the new smart lock in the middle position, so as to improve the overall harmony and beauty.
The selection of smart lock requires the selection of a higher level lock cylinder. When installing the smart lock, pay attention to the details of packaging the lock cylinder. Taking TCL Internet of things intelligent lock K5 as an example, it adopts all copper C-class lock cylinder, which greatly guarantees the use safety and avoids the possibility of violent opening of the door lock.
Guide selection
There are four shapes of side guide strip: fillet single hole, fillet double hole, right angle single hole and right angle double hole. Different length and width correspond to different guide strips. It is better for the user to record the following data: the length and width of the original door lock guide; the deviation distance of the lock body of the old door lock; the horizontal installation hole distance and the vertical installation hole distance of the lock body of the old door lock. In this way, it will be convenient for the installation master to choose different guide strips, making our installation process easier.
Heaven and earth hook
In addition to the common locks, some door locks have locking tongue at the side and upper and lower ends of the door. This is what we call heaven and earth hook. The role of heaven and earth hook is to lock the upper door panel and the floor at the side and bottom more firmly. If there is a lock hole on the top edge of the upper and lower door tops of the home doors or if there is a lock tongue on the edge when the door lock pops out, there is a heaven and earth hook. This also needs to be explained with the installation master, and the method to judge whether there is a heaven and earth hook is as shown in the figure:
Confirm the opening direction
Finally, the door opening direction is determined. If this point is neglected, it is easy to have "anti human" door opening design. In general, the station side method can be used to confirm. When we stand outside the door, if the fixed hinge of the door is on the right, the intelligent lock is defined as the right door, which is divided into the right inner push door and the right outer pull door, and vice versa.
Fingerprint entry
There are also some skills in fingerprint entry. For the first time, TCL Internet of things intelligent lock K5 needs to press the "#" key or short press the "factory settings" key, and then enter the default administrator password of 123456. At this time, the intelligent lock will prompt us to enter a new password. After two times of entry, the password is successfully modified. Then you can let family members keep fingerprints one after another. Remember to press for six times to ensure the integrity of fingerprints and the convenience of unlocking later.
Unlocking mode
There are generally four ways to unlock the mainstream smart locks, and as many as six ways to unlock the TCL Internet of things smart lock K5 - Fingerprint unlock, password unlock, swipe card, APP remote unlock, key, temporary password. In addition to the single unlock mode, there are also two unlock modes, double insurance is more secure. The TCL Internet of things smart lock K5 adopts 128 bit symmetric encryption technology and independent key, compared with the general The encryption technology of is more complex and rigorous.
The password disk of the TCL Internet of things intelligent lock K5 is hidden under the sliding cover of the sports car, and the sliding cover needs to be opened when swiping the card, so the design purpose is to prevent dust from falling inside, improve the safety factor at the same time, and ensure the life of the intelligent lock at the same time of beautiful appearance.
More attention should also be paid to the panel selection of smart lock. It is better to choose the integrated silicone protective sheet, which can not only improve the door lock fit and fixation, but also make the overall appearance smooth and pleasing to the eye.
In general, intelligent lock is a product worth purchasing. It is convenient, safe and can bring you a more comfortable home experience. And TCL Internet of things intelligent lock K5 is the best one of many intelligent door lock products. It's no harm to think about it when you plan to install or replace the intelligent lock.
