As an indispensable part of the aluminum alloy door and window hardware system, door locks play a role of security and anti-theft in our daily lives. There are many types of hardware locks on the market. Due to the diversity of materials and processes, the types of locks are also more complicated and the specifications are not the same.We can choose from several aspects:


1. Choose from the production process of the lock:


First of all, we can choose from the production process of door and window hardware locks. Hardware accessories are usually colored by special surface treatment, electroplating, spraying and other methods. After special surface treatment, a dense, non-rusting protective film is formed on the surface of the product, thereby increasing the service life of the door lock accessories. The protective film plays an important role in the quality of the hardware lock.


The protective film is also related to quality inspection. The surface treatment layer is small, smooth and uniform, without air bubbles, rust and oxidation. Electroplating is to use the principle of electroplating to attach a metal film on the surface of the material, improve the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the material, and increase the appearance of the surface. However, spraying is a processing method that is often used today. There are many spraying methods, but through spraying, dispersed droplets can be coated on the surface.

2. Choose from the materials for making the lock:


Common lock materials on the market are stainless steel, aluminum alloy and zinc alloy.

From the perspective of durability, the best door lock material should be stainless steel, especially as a surface material, the more it is used, the brighter it is. It has good strength, strong corrosion resistance and unchanged color. From the perspective of safety factor, Stainless Steel Patch Locks have high strength, anti-drilling, anti-impact, and fireproof. For a family, safety is the first consideration, and rigid stainless steel door locks are the best choice for people.


The Aluminum Alloy Patch Lock is light in weight, high in strength, and has a high safety factor. It also has a variety of opening methods and is not easy to deform. Is currently one of the best cost-effective door and window choices. If the surface is to be coated, it is also easy to anodize. It is resistant to various environments, not afraid of moisture, and can be used in harsh environments.


Zinc alloy has the properties of strong wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and is relatively easy to cast. Many styles and patterns can be designed. Its luster is very weak. Due to the soft texture, it is suitable for locks with unique shapes. Zinc Alloy Patch Locks It is a hot-selling item on the market. For example, the new-looking villa door lock is basically made of zinc alloy.


The price and quality of door and window hardware locks are also very important criteria for choosing locks. Imported locks are of higher quality, but they are also more expensive. Generally speaking, high-priced locks have relatively better quality. These locks are durable and highly sensitive but are not fully linked to quality and price. Therefore, various factors need to be considered comprehensively when choosing a lock.


The above is the relevant content about the method of selecting door and window hardware locks. I hope it will be helpful to everyone when buying hardware locks. In addition, everyone should pay attention to the daily maintenance of hardware during use to extend its service life. !
