Which is better, a lever handle lock or a knob lock?
1、Hand-operated lock: The most commonly used
The handle lock offers good security and is commonly used for entry doors and interior doors. This type of smart lock is the closest in design to traditional mechanical locks, making it widely accepted by the public. The primary operating method involves verifying the fingerprint or password, followed by pressing down the handle to unlock the door.
Smart locks, using methods such as fingerprint and password, allow you to eliminate the need for keys. The unlocking method for lever-type smart locks has also been changed. Typically, lever-type smart locks can be unlocked by lifting the handle outdoors, achieving the appearance of a traditional mechanical lock, thereby eliminating the reliance on keys for both opening and locking.
2、Latches: The feeling of light pulling and pushing.
Sliding locks are typically used for smart locks. What are the advantages and disadvantages of sliding smart locks? Sliding smart locks require only fingerprint, password, or other verification methods, followed by a gentle pull or push of the handle to open the door. Compared to lever-style smart locks, sliding smart locks require less effort to open because the locking mechanism retracts using the panel or internal motor, rather than manual rotation of the handle. They also have a more modern appearance. However, sliding smart locks typically retract all locking mechanisms after closing the door, which can blur the concept of an outdoor lock.
