How does a small and medium-sized hardware lock company find a way out
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. How to find a way out for SMEs in the hardware lock industry? How to survive in the competition is an area where research and improvement are urgently needed.
The significance of research
The main significance of the study lies in the following: First, it is to understand the origin and development history of the industry, and to study the prospects and alternatives of the industry development. The second is to study how to make the hardware lock industry SMEs out of the vicious circle of vicious competition, and seek a healthy development of the industry. The orderly competition in the industry will increase the maturity of the industry, promote industrial upgrading, and facilitate the improvement of management level and product level. Vicious competition will only bring the industry to death, and a traditional national industry will decline; the third is to make numerous SMEs in the industry have stepped out of the predicament of business operations, improved the level of management decision-making, rationalized competition strategies, improved the level of competition, and maintained the status of national industries in the industry in the global market.
Research methods and main content
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 the United Kingdom and the United States. 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 safer 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.
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, and more than ten kinds of electronic locks including electronic card locks have been developed.
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 could still be opened with keys or mounted on 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, "Liang Shangjunzi", which is locked in the doorway, has quickly deciphered 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. .
The development of locks
The earliest history of locks can be traced back to the wooden locks that emerged more than 5,000 years ago. After centuries of development, the use and scope of locks have continued to expand with the continuous development of human society during the long years. Forced people to pay attention to the development of the lock industry, and at the same time, many inventions on locks have also made the lock industry flourish and made positive contributions to social civilization.
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 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 and magnetic cards with “black boxes†function. TC card, TM card lock 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 recognition technology, each lock can be stored (more than 700 fingerprints, can query the recently unlocked 8000 records, recognition speed is less than 1 second, voice guidance, operation is very simple, and to avoid the traditional mechanical lock, identification The loss and misappropriation of card lock keys has been widely used in finance, insurance, hotels, office buildings, and equipment management, etc. The voice-activated locks, irises, and face recognition access control systems that are linked with advanced biometrics technologies are used to improve people’s lives. The level has made outstanding contributions to the development of other industries.
Future development of locks
Technology is advancing, locks are transforming and innovating, locks are necessary products in life, and security protectors. Although the market is now quite mature, it can be foreseen that it will be a failing industry, there must be a home, and there must be a door. lock. At the same time, with the development of electronic technology and living technology, the use of locks continues to improve, but as the main body of mechanical parts will always exist. Therefore, the lock-making industry must not only study the application of new technologies, but also constantly study the constant changes of traditional mechanical locks.
The status quo and environmental analysis of China's lock industry: At present, there are more than 1,400 lock-making enterprises registered in China, mainly SMEs, mostly individual and private enterprises, which are basically all labor-intensive industries.
Locks can be divided into three eras in history: the era of wooden locks, the age of bronze locks, and the age of mechanical pinball locks. Through years of practice, it is concluded that the exposure of the keyhole is the focus of the contradiction between theft and anti-piracy. Therefore, how to hide the lock becomes the key to security.
