How to choose the right electronic door lock for the hotel?

From the current market point of view, there are various types of intelligent electronic door locks for hotels, such as magnetic card locks, IC card locks, TM card locks, proximity card locks and fingerprint locks. The hotel can choose its own characteristics according to its own positioning. Door lock. At the same time, the concept of hotel room management has undergone qualitative changes. From simple and low-level room security management to the high level of intelligent management, hotel room management has become an indispensable core element of hotel management.
If the door lock is not properly selected, it will cause great losses to all aspects of the hotel: the adverse effects of image reputation, security risks, management inconvenience, maintenance costs, overall cost increase, etc.; if the door lock issuance system is not Perfect, the guest card issued can not open the door smoothly, will bring the feeling of "disasue" to the guests, the returning customers will be reduced, which will directly lead to the decline of economic benefits; if the lock core is defective, the guest will not be able to get out of the house. The service staff couldn't open it anymore, and finally had to break into the door. The result can be imagined; if the room is stolen, the system does not have an unlock record or the record is incomplete, and the truth cannot be found. Ultimately, the hotel will compensate for the loss..... These are all hotels must think of when choosing an electronic door lock.
Why are there many hotels that have installed electronic door locks for less than one or two years and have to replace them again? The loss of operation caused by improper selection has far exceeded the investment in purchasing high-quality, brand-guaranteed electronic door locks. For them, the earlier the change, the smaller the loss. How to choose the right electronic door lock from the overall perspective, in order to bring the maximum benefit and security to your hotel? From the perspective of the hotel, there are several factors to consider.

First, make a choice according to the type of card
At present, there are electronic door locks on the market with IC card, TM card, Temic card, Mifare card and magnetic card. In the end, which type of card lock is the most suitable for your hotel, the hotel only needs to combine its own characteristics. , with reference to the following comparison table, you can choose the electronic door lock that is most suitable for you.

Best use occasion Medium-sized hotel or low-end indoor hotel for card reuse Suitable for all kinds of harsh environments, especially for outdoor hotels and budget hotels with salt, water and other salt in villas and beaches. Medium or mid-range hotel for card reuse Mid- to high-end hotels or large-scale intelligent hotels that need to realize the "one card" function Suitable for high-star hotels or hotels with large number of rooms, reception tours and large conferences


Second, according to the natural geographical environment of the hotel and its own positioning to choose the hotel's natural geographical environment, the type of electronic door lock is different. Due to the humid environment, heavy salt and strong corrosiveness, the seaside hotel can consider installing the door lock that has been treated with nanotechnology, and the circuit board in the door lock is required to be protected from moisture and corrosion. The clutch motor part is required to be modularly closed and in poor condition. In the environment, the only way to ensure the door lock has a long service life.
Outdoor hotels, such as golf-style leisure hotels, require door locks to be UV-resistant because the door locks may be exposed to the outside. The nano-handling of the door lock surface is the best choice. At the same time, it is best to use the TM card lock, because it is fully enclosed and destructive, it can prevent the outdoor dust from blocking the IC card or the card reader slot of the magnetic card and can not open the lock.
Medium-sized hotels with IC card locks or RF card locks. In the RF card lock, especially the Mifare-1 card has the largest capacity and has 16 partitions, which can provide the best solution for the hotel to realize the "one card" function. Budget hotels, from the perspective of low-cost investment, can use TM card lock. High-end hotels or large hotels can use magnetic card locks, which have better publicity and hygiene, and the use cost of the cards is low.

Third, according to the system function of the electronic door lock to choose the basic functions of the electronic door lock itself mainly includes the safety of the door lock, stability, overall service life, hotel management functions and other aspects.
1. Safety: The user should inspect from the structural design of the lock. Because the door lock is not safe, the design of its mechanical structure plays a very important role. Especially the lock core technology and clutch motor technology are the most important.
2. Stability: Imagine that you can't open the door when you should open the door. When you should close the door, you can't close the door. The consequences of using this kind of door lock are unimaginable. There are several main factors that affect the stability of electronic locks: first, the stability of the mechanical structure, especially the mechanical structure of the lock cylinder and the clutch structure; second, the stability of the working state of the motor, mainly to investigate whether the motor for the door lock is used; The third is the stability and anti-interference of the logic circuit part, mainly to check whether there is protection circuit design.
3, the overall service life: the overall service life of the electronic door lock in ten years is the necessary condition to meet the hotel's pursuit of long-term economic benefits. In the case we contacted, some of the door locks installed in the hotel had a large area of ​​fading or rust on the surface for less than a year. This “self-destructive image” door lock seriously affected the overall image of the hotel. It often causes a lot of post-maintenance costs for the hotel, which reduces the efficiency of the hotel operation and will cause huge direct economic losses to the hotel. Therefore, it is extremely important for the user to select an electronic lock with a long overall service life.
The service life of the lock is mainly determined by its material and manufacturing process. Locks of different materials have different service life; on the other hand, different surface treatments have a great influence on the life of the lock, such as locks treated with Japanese electrophoretic paint. The core has a longer service life than the general zinc-plated lock cylinder. Door locks For seaside hotels or outdoor hotels, the humidity is large and the salt is the biggest killer. The locks required must have strong corrosion resistance. The circuit board must be treated with anti-corrosion treatment. The lock core must be surface-preserved. Treatment, the surface of the lock must pass through the surface of anti-corrosion, anti-ultraviolet nano treatment. In addition, reasonable daily maintenance of the door lock can effectively extend the service life of the door lock.
4, hotel management function: For the hotel, the room management should comply with the hotel's standard management, the door lock management function not only to facilitate the guests, but also to improve the overall management level of the hotel. Therefore, the electronic door lock preferably has the following perfect hotel management functions:
· Has a hierarchical management function, after the door lock is set, different levels of opening the door card automatically take effect;
· Time-limited features for all key cards;
· Has a powerful and complete door opening record function; has a mechanical key unlock record function;
·The software system runs stably and reliably, the data capacity is large, the maintenance cost is low, and the technical interface of the "one card" system can be well solved;
·There is a mechanical key emergency unlocking function; there is an emergency emergency card escape setting function;
· There is "double clock" automatic repair function;
·There is an automatic anti-plug alarm function;
·Management of elevator controller management, power-saving switch management, and channel door lock management;
·It has the function of setting normally open and normally closed for the purpose of conference.
· Extended functions of the door lock system: including management of the hotel staff office, public access, dedicated access and interfaces with other systems in the hotel.
· One-card function: The same smart card can be used to expand the door lock, telephone, attendance, CCTV charging, dining, entertainment, consumption, parking and other management functions, mainly to provide solutions for the realization of the hotel card.

Fourth, according to the comprehensive advantages of enterprises to choose the enterprise's lock history background, technological innovation capability, production strength, product quality, overall service level and brand credibility, and the cost-effectiveness of door lock products, etc., is a key consideration for hotel users. A very important factor. Due to the influence of various factors mentioned above, the electronic door locks developed by various enterprises will have great differences. If some enterprises do not have research and development capabilities and production capacity, they only purchase parts and assemble them. Have strong technical support capabilities, let alone perfect after-sales service. The electronic door lock is a product that needs good after-sales service as a support product. Once the after-sales service can't keep up, it is the hotel user who suffers losses. Therefore, when selecting an electronic door lock, the hotel must examine the technical strength, production capacity, years of employment, market reputation, etc. of the company. According to the comprehensive advantages of the company, the best choice is not the short-term behavior of some “cake” style. The low price given by the company is tempted, thus neglecting key issues such as product quality and after-sales service, which ultimately leads to losses.
