As a security product, door locks must possess both security and stability. Security can be measured in two aspects: First, resistance to intentional damage, pranks, and deliberate prying or drilling. In this regard, the mechanical strength of both mechanical and electronic locks generally meets the requirements. Among all types of locks, only RFID card electronic locks have a fully enclosed structure, offering the best security. Second, resistance to technical unlocking. Mechanical locks are very poor at resisting technical unlocking. Regardless of their structure, mechanical locks can be opened by other means. The ability to copy keys is a significant security vulnerability. In electronic locks, magnetic cards, lacking password restrictions, are easily copied. IC cards and RFID cards completely solve the problem of preventing technical unlocking.
As for door locks, stability is equally important. A door that cannot be opened when it should or closed when it should could cause serious losses to financial institutions. Generally speaking, among various types of electronic locks, RFID card electronic locks are significantly more stable than other electronic locks. Magnetic cards are susceptible to strong magnetic fields, IC cards are vulnerable to oil, dust, and static electricity (especially in dry weather and when stored with wool products), while RFID cards are fully sealed, waterproof, anti-static, and dustproof. In terms of reading method, only RFID cards require no contact, and therefore have the longest lifespan.
