What's New

China's lock market has a history of development for many years, with the passage of time, the form of products is also diverse, and used in more and more industries and fields. Now the market competition is also very fierce, walking in the forefront of the market several outstanding enterprises, all play a model role, and for our country's lock market to contribute their own strength. It is because they rely on their own powerful technical force, continuous innovation, continuous progress, so that the enterprise has been walking in the forefront of the same industry. So how should we look at the development prospects of China's lock market? The author tries to take several mainstream products as examples to discuss.

An industrial lock pursues diversification

Modern industrial locks play an important role in the mainstream products, the author focuses on the discussion.

The first, should have the most extensive use function. This is easy to understand, because when you get a lock, a nice look will give you a good first impression, and then you will think about whether it works or not. Pick up the key to open and close, if the use of smooth, feel very mellow, then this reaches the standard, most enterprises are more attention to this point, and even put it in the first place of quality, visible its importance.

Second, to have the most valuable unique functionality. This aspect is the embodiment of the core technical strength of the enterprise. For their own products, everyone wants to be unique and occupy their own market share. The unique functionality mainly includes structure, surface treatment, assembly and other aspects. After the product is endowed with the unique functionality, its competitiveness will be greatly enhanced, followed by the improvement of value. In terms of the structure alone, the same industrial lock named common swivel lock has a variety of different unique functional structures. For example :(1) can achieve a variety of rotation angles (90°, 105°, etc.); (2) The limit structure can be added to the lock body, or can be achieved through the coordination of the lock core and the lock body; (3) The IP protection level of the lock can be realized by adjusting the outer washer or the inner washer. The appearance of each new type of lock embodies the painstaking efforts of technical personnel. No matter it is the change of structure or assembly process, it needs to go through constant research and experiment. It can be said that the unique functionality represents the crystallization of the wisdom of the technical personnel in the industrial lock industry. The third is to have the most humanized multi-purpose functionality. It is often assumed that a lock is a natural tool that will not be useful in other environments. But the design concept of human nature cannot be lacking in industrial lock, the technical personnel designs the key ring into the bottle opener, such a design not only made full use of the space, but also brings a lot of convenience to the user. There are also keys like the octagonal L, which is not only a general purpose key, but can also be used as a wrench to tighten or remove screws. These simple humanized designs are reflected in the development of new industrial locks.

The original industrial lock industry is basically in a monopoly industry, now with the white-hot competition, customers have put forward more stringent requirements for the quality of enterprise products, and appearance must be one of the requirements. The first is the color requirement. The color specified by the customer, to the outstanding standard, the enterprise according to the color standard color matching, but here involves the key technology, color will not exist alone. In fact, the effect of a color is determined by a number of factors, namely the light reflected, the color matching of the surrounding, or the viewer's Angle of view. The second is the surface treatment. This involves many aspects, such as smooth surface, matt surface, pitting surface and so on, which is the requirement of the surface state; If chrome plating, zinc plating, spraying and so on, this is the requirement of the surface protective layer. With the development of modern industrial locks, stainless steel products occupy a dominant position in some areas, and its surface treatment requirements are sandblasting, drawing polishing, machining and so on.

Now most of the customers are focused on safety, involving industries including railway, wind power, communications and other industries, in the original relatively safe place also put the safety, this is the best embodiment of humanization. In the wind power industry, because the lock environment is mostly outdoors, but also in sparsely populated, higher terrain areas or at sea, this requires outdoor locks not only to dust, corrosion, but also need to guard against theft. Dust prevention and anti-corrosion is to ensure the normal use in the harsh natural environment, the locks and security is to prevent the man-made destruction, these measures are put together to lock the requirements of natural not low, but it is the modern industry will face the locks, safety can be achieved only under these conditions, to ensure customer's sustained, steady and normal work equipment. The special lock requirements on the railway are also rising, as passenger trains, especially after the speed of the express, as well as the EMU and intercity high-speed, their first consideration is the safety of passengers. The locks involved in some parts are tested and verified to ensure the safety of the train in the process of running. Train locks value shockproof and anti-vibration functions, and the locks outside the car also require the above dustproof and anti-corrosion, etc.

So the modern industrial lock will be with the development of The Times, supporting various industries. Whether it is functional, appearance, or safety, will continue to innovate, more humanized. In order to meet the needs of each customer, the varieties of modern industrial locks will be more abundant, standardized products and highly characteristic products will divide the market, the competition will be more intense.

Second auto lock market potential is huge

In recent years, with the continuous expansion of the automobile industry in China, the development of the car lock has been more and more concerned by many enterprises and automobile consumers. Can say, the development prospect of car lock is broad. Car lock, pull rod lock, trunk lock, engine lock and other series of locks will also present a vitality.

In addition, the development of agricultural vehicles will provide a broad market for the lock industry. In recent years, China's agricultural vehicle production and sales growth, with the "automotive" agricultural vehicles, its lock demand will also increase a lot, therefore, enterprises should be in this regard more thinking.

The development potential of the core lock in three door locks is big

From the current situation of the lock market, the door lock market in a long time, will still be dominated by mechanical locks, and mechanical locks are mainly inserted core door locks and spherical door locks. The core door lock has more development potential than the spherical door lock, the reason is: from the use of the point of view, the core door lock is much better than the spherical door lock, one is its anti-theft performance is stronger than the spherical door lock, with double lock head, double lock tongue (square tongue, oblique tongue or cylindrical lock tongue); Second, it has a wide range of applications, including double head and double tongue, double head and three tongues, and 3 or 5 interlocks together, which has the function of internal protection and external protection. There is a point, plug the core door lock is also suitable for disabled people to use, in case of fire easy to open, spherical door lock in this respect is insufficient. It should be said that with the development of the market, insert core door locks with development potential should be bigger than spherical door locks.

The development of high-grade locks still needs efforts

In recent years, the new product development of our country system lock industry, should say, no matter in product technology, or product grade, have been improved. Such as a lock factory in Shanghai developed a series of car locks, IC card electronic door locks, plastic steel doors and Windows lock; A lock factory in the south developed a double tongue reopening security door lock, electronic password spherical door lock, double door lock, emergency channel door lock, valve lock; Hangzhou a lock industrial company developed a building building intercom anti-theft system; Jinhua City a magnetic card lock Co., Ltd. developed the encryption magnetic card door lock, bicycle magnetic card lock; A security products (Guangdong) Co., Ltd. has developed a spherical function door lock, including balcony, courtyard lock, entrance lock, classroom lock, connected lock, emergency exit lock, storage lock, etc., which are new products developed in China's lock industry in recent years. In addition, China's high-grade hotels, hotels and other locks are still dependent on imports, domestic high-grade lock market is still controlled by the majority of the foreign lock, this aspect of our products are still lack of greater competitiveness. With a huge output of more than 2 billion locks, the quantity accumulation of the lock making industry has reached the level of qualitative change, which should rapidly develop to the high-grade and high-technology lock platform. Therefore, enterprises should break away from the low-level price war and launch a new round of technical competition.

At present, with the deepening of China's opening to the outside world, high-grade buildings are developing rapidly, and the prospect of high-grade lock market is optimistic. As a result, many foreign famous lock enterprises have flooded into the Chinese market, such as the United States, Italy, Germany, Japan, Canada, South Korea, and China's Taiwan, Hong Kong area. It can be seen that if our lock manufacturers do not seize the time to develop high-grade lock products, we will lose this market.

Five rural market should arouse attention

China's rural market is very big, the first thing after the farmer is rich is to build a house, the house is built much, the demand of the lock also increases with respect to, this makes the lock industry to us, it is undoubtedly good news. However, this aspect of the work has not caused enough attention to our lock enterprises, to adapt to the rural market, specifically for the development of the farmers of the lock is not enough. Therefore, in the future lock enterprises should be aimed at the characteristics of the rural market, more research and development of some marketable products.

Six conclusions

The development and innovation of China's lock industry require enterprises to change their ideas, change the imitation-oriented approach, master independent technology, increase investment in equipment, technology, research and development and patent innovation, improve the scientific and technological content of products, and increase the degree of product differentiation. Enterprises should pay attention to enhance brand awareness and implement brand strategy, so as to change their own situation, seize middle and high-end market share, and promote the healthy and rapid development of the whole system lock industry. In the future, the lock industry will not only face the competition among domestic enterprises, but more importantly, how to deal with the impact of the global economic torrent. China now locks can only in the world with cheap products as a way to compete, but to have a long-term development, technology innovation must do the work, more make inventions, should attach great importance to the scientific and technological level of enterprise employees, people-oriented, foothold to face the global market, make lock industry and a new star in the national industry of China.
