If you're purchasing an electronic lock but are unsure whether to choose ABS or zinc alloy material, I hope the following guide will help you make the right decision and find the product that best suits your needs.
ABS Electronic Locks: Made from inexpensive raw materials and formed through injection molding, ABS locks have lower production costs, offering a significant price advantage.
Zinc Alloy Electronic Locks: Made from more expensive materials and formed through die-casting, zinc alloy locks generally come at a higher price.
ABS Locks: If exposed to sunlight for long periods, ABS locks may age and become brittle, potentially shortening their lifespan.
Zinc Alloy Locks: With excellent corrosion resistance, zinc alloy locks are ideal for outdoor or humid environments, such as bathroom or balcony doors.
Indoor Use: ABS locks are lightweight, cost-effective, and perfect for pool cue lockers, filing cabinets, gym lockers, sauna cabinets, storage cabinets, drawers, dormitory lockers, and indoor public storage units.
Security and Outdoor Use: Zinc alloy locks are robust, resistant to physical damage, and ideal for high-end residences, villas, security doors, and outdoor public lockers, offering reliable protection.
