What is the difference between mechanical lock body and electronic lock body?

The lock body of smart locks is divided into electronic and mechanical locks. Mechanical lock body smart locks are called external clutch smart locks, and electronic lock body smart locks are technically called electronically controlled lock cylinder smart locks.

● Mechanical lock body

A mechanical lock is a lock without electronic components. It is not powered at all and relies on manpower (some mechanical locks with built-in clutches also have power control). It is usually used for personal security doors. A mechanical key is required to open the door. The lock can be opened by violent force.

● Electronic lock body

The electronic lock body conducts electricity through data lines and has a built-in electronic clutch mechanism. The powered lock body has a lifespan of more than five times longer than the traditional structure. Each moving part of the electronic lock body adopts a guide rail or pulley design, with a lower friction coefficient. The body feels smooth, the lock body has a five-tongue linkage structure, and each accessory adopts a reinforced design, making it safer and more stable. Anti-insertion latch, sliding guide design, 100% anti-insertion guarantee. The combination of the latch tongue helps to open the door easily, reduces vibration, strengthens the large square tongue, and makes it more anti-theft.
