Market competition makes the lock industry step into integration

With the arrival of the knowledge economy, the global economy, the information society and the changes in competitive factors, the Chinese lock-making industry faces the crisis of competition in the international market. From the overall analysis, there are many small and complete production enterprises, and high-tech with independent intellectual property rights and patents. The number of lock companies is small, resulting in extremely unstable quality and inferior products flooding the market. Then, how can we comprehensively improve the manufacturing quality of Chinese locks, enable the industry to enter the path of integration, enter a benign track, and be in line with the international market?

1. Product structure: Locking enterprises should actively adopt new materials, pay attention to product styling and art decoration, and gradually use advanced technologies such as computer electronics, information, biometrics and nanomaterials to graft the traditional lock industry, and strive to develop market prospects. New products and breakthroughs in performance. Such as residential high-end mortise lock series, car lock series, civilian lock series, anti-theft door lock series, rolling code remote control series, high-end mechatronics IC card smart lock, TM card lock, shot lock card lock series, biometric identification The series of feature locks, etc., can be reformed in terms of process and technological innovation, and gradually mature.

2. Product technology and equipment structure. In this concept, enterprises should first introduce marble equipment with an accuracy of less than 0.01mm, key tooth processing equipment with an accuracy of less than 0.02mm, advanced processing molds and knives; focus on the production of high-end door locks and locks. The company introduces automatic assembly production lines, CNC machine tools, automatic polishing machines, automatic continuous stamping production lines and automatic die-casting production lines in Germany, Italy, Taiwan and other countries and regions. Wenzhou Qiangqiang Group, like China’s “Top Ten Lock Kings”, has introduced South Korea’s complete lock-up equipment. While developing the lock industry, the relevant hardware departments should pay attention to the construction of professional supporting factories such as foundry, mold factory, electroplating factory and heat treatment, so that these supporting factories can better serve the lock enterprises and improve the lock level of the lock industry. Secondly, the quality problems of lock products mainly focus on the problems of insufficient processing precision, poor fitting of parts, rough appearance, low durability and high mutual opening rate. Therefore, inspection and testing equipment should be perfected for these aspects (such as tensile testing machine and lock durable). Degree tester, key static pull tester, coated wear test equipment and density, firmness, flexibility test and test equipment), strengthen industrial and quality management.

In terms of industry structure, Li Huazhen, general manager of Zhongshan Xiongbao Metal Products Factory, believes that the Hardware Association and the National Locks Market Survey Industry Standards Office should encourage enterprises with certain foundations and scales to attract foreign investment, introduce foreign talents, accelerate technology introduction and technological transformation; Encourage asset restructuring, take the road of joint mergers, expand the scale of enterprises, increase the strength of enterprises, and gradually establish large-scale enterprise groups led by famous products. Actively support some small and medium-sized enterprises with good product quality and market competitiveness, so that the lock industry will become a leading enterprise with large enterprises and large-scale enterprises as the leading enterprises.
