In recent years, China's hardware lock industry has been developing steadily at an annual growth rate of 15%, with an annual gross output value of 180 billion yuan or more and an export value of more than US$8 billion. It accounts for about one-third of China's total light industry exports, ranking the top three in light industry.

It is understood that at least 95% of China's hardware industry is a private enterprise. Private enterprises have become the main force in the development of China's hardware lock industry. On the other hand, in the international hardware lock market, due to the rapid development of production technology and rising labor costs, developed countries in Europe and America will transfer common products to developing countries to produce only high value-added products, and China will have a strong market labor force. , Become a major exporter of processing hardware in the hardware lock industry. In many of China's hardware lock enterprises, the survival and development of small and medium-sized private enterprises have become the key to the healthy development of the industry.

In the globalization and integrated market economy environment, China's hardware lock industry is also facing fierce market competition. Especially in the global environment where the financial crisis and economic crisis have swept the world, the fierce market competition has led to fierce price competition. As a hardware lock industry SMEs how to find a way out? How to survive in the competition is an urgent place to study and improve.

From the origin and history of locks, look at the development of the lock industry; from the current environment of the lock industry, see the main strategies of industry competition. The main method of research is to use the principles of strategic management, global management, marketing management, and management economics to analyze the characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises in the hardware lock industry, identify the corresponding relationship between competitive strategies and related factors, and find survival and development strategies to form concrete feasible solutions.

The lock is the product of safety precautions. This is known to everyone. Its variety, variety, and price are different. China's lock industry is still in a very backward state, and the average selling price of locks is also very low. It is 1/15 of Britain, the United States and other countries. In foreign countries, locks are usually more expensive than doors because locks are the heart of the door. At present, new types of locks developed abroad are very active. Many new materials, new technologies, and new technologies are continuously applied to the lock industry. Locks are breaking through the commonly used mechanical pin lock modes and are evolving toward more secure electronic locks. Although many advanced locks have been unveiled, none of them have solved the problem of invisibility. All installations of locks have exposed parts of the devices. The possibility that the locks will be destroyed will inevitably exist, and safety issues will always suffer.

Due to the development of acoustic, optical, mechanical, electrical, and magnetic, the design of locks has also undergone great changes. By 1974, the United States had succeeded in researching six electronic lock circuits.

By 1985, the lock industry in the United States and Japan accounted for 10% of sales of various types of locks in the sales of electronic locks, and the Japanese lock industry began to develop electronic locks. Since 1985, the development of electronic lock production in the world has been surging. The international lock industry, represented by Yale lock factory in the United States, Xisha Group in Europe, and Dome Company in West Germany, has developed ten electronic card locks. A variety of electronic locks.

In the early 1990s, there were also nine manufacturers of electronic locks in China. However, the electronic locks produced by all these manufacturers were mostly copied or slightly modified along the roads of European and American locks. The locks can still be opened with keys or installed in doors. The outside cipher opens. In short, we did not step out of our own way to break through the conventional system of lock-up. In our country, the gentleman Liang Xiangzi, who is locked in the doorway, quickly deciphers the locks, and the thieves can still break into the door.

The door is a barrier to the protection of family property. The lock must overcome two shortcomings: one is that a certain part of the lock is exposed outside the door, which provides a deciphering target for the robber; the second is that the lock tongue is too short to stop the thieves from breaking with violence. In view of the insurmountable disadvantages of general locks, after years of painstaking research by patent owners, intelligent invisible locks were finally born in 1992. Their main feature is that no locks are seen inside and outside the door, and there are no keyholes on the door. The lock installation position could not be found. The lateral static pressure of the lock can reach tens of thousands of newtons. This allows the robbers to neither break the target nor break through, and the portal security is ensured. This relieves the worries of people when they leave the house. .

China's current production of lock products mainly include padlocks, ball locks, bicycle and motorcycle locks, industrial locks, car locks, train locks, torture locks, crafts commemorative locks, hotel locks, etc., thousands of species, Constitutes the existing lock system in China. With the rapid development of science and technology, especially the wide application of microelectronics bioinformatics in all walks of life, the lock industry is moving in the direction of high technological content and strong security. In the late 1980s, the lock industry also ushered in a new period of development, developed beautifully shaped, mechanical and electrical integration locks adapted to the needs of other industries and people's lives, and provided hierarchical management for hotels, magnetic cards with black boxes, TC cards. , TM card locks and other advanced intelligent locks.

In recent years, the emergence of the fingerprint lock represented the most advanced level of China's lock industry in terms of its reliability, safety, and convenience, and it has taken a leading position internationally. The product uses fingerprint biometric identification technology, each lock can store more than 700 fingerprints, can check the recent unlocked 8,000 records, recognition speed is less than 1 second, voice guidance, operation is very simple, and to avoid the traditional mechanical lock, identification card Loss and misappropriation of lock keys. Has been widely used in finance, insurance, hotels, office buildings and equipment management and other occasions. The voice-activated locks, irises, and face recognition access control systems that are linked with advanced biometric technologies have made outstanding contributions to improving people’s living standards and promoting the development of other industries.
