......In the past, the traditional mechanical key is a headache problem in management
and security to a hotel. As the development of the technology, management of hotel
has a great change. From the ordinary mechanical locks, perforation locks, magnetism
locks to nowadays variety of intelligent electronic door locks ( magnatic card locks, smart
card locks, RF card lock, fingerprint locks and etc.), this change make the management
of hotel become more convenient. The management concept also has a fundamental
change, from simple security management to intelligent hotel management system.
The development of the hotel locks as almost 20 years history. The hotel locks have
changed with several generations due to the updated demand in electronic technology
and technical process. Now the normal using life of hotel locks can be achieve about ten
years and all the parts from hardware (treatment technology on surface, mortise structure,
Electric clutch, and material of lock body) to software(hotel management software)also
have deeply improvement. If not choosing the right locks, it will bring big loss to the
hotel on brand image, security, convenient and maintenance. The customer will not
come back if he or she feels unhappy during stay caused by problem card. The hotel
will have to break the door and compensate the loss of the customer if lock can not
work due to damaged inside. Whats more, if the stolen issue happened but can not
find the truth due to entrance record loss or incomplete, the hotel will have to bear all
the loss. These factors should be taken into consideration for a hotel when choosing
the locks. Why some hotels have to change the old lock after using one or two years?
This is because the operation loss caused by wrong locks has far exceeded the cost
of buying new good quality locks.
