In the Chinese lock manufacturing market, Xiaolan Town, Zhongshan City is known as the “Southern Lock Cityâ€. It is backed by Zhongshan's powerful hardware production base. It faces the cross-straits and the vast international market, repairs the quality and repairs the brand, and has a unique position in the Chinese lock industry. The use of innovative lock technology in the local area represents the future development direction of China's lock industry to a certain extent. In addition, its export-oriented development model also preliminarily follows the path of the high-end lock market.
The development status of China's lock industry
The development status of China's lock industry
According to statistics, China's lock products currently reach 20 categories, more than 100 series, more than 8,000 color specifications and varieties. There are more than 1,400 registered and sold enterprises, and there are seven lock-making enterprises with sales revenue exceeding 50 million yuan in 2001, and nearly ten lock-up enterprises with annual export delivery value exceeding 40 million yuan. From the perspective of regional distribution, the lock-making enterprises are mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Shandong, Shanghai, and Zhejiang, with the production locks and ball locks in the south. In the north, padlocks and locks for various vehicles are mainly used. In terms of product classification, the Chinese lock industry is dominated by steel padlocks, door locks, and car locks, supplemented by smart door locks and other sales. On the whole, the Chinese lock industry is far behind the advanced foreign technology, and the lock manufacturers are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. The low-level redundant construction is serious, and the proportion of enterprises with large scale and well-known brands is relatively small.
According to industry insiders, the core technology of high-end locks is in the hands of foreign manufacturers, which is related to the low level of other industries in China, such as surface treatment, materials engineering and microelectronics. In recent years, the production of high-end electronic locks, such as IC cards, TM cards, fingerprint locks and other core electronic components are imported from abroad, so that China's high-end locks are limited in terms of price and performance expansion.
The development level of Xiaolan Lock Industry
Xiaolan is a well-known “hardware industry base†in China. It has a high status and reputation in the Chinese industry, and has developed into a complete industrial group with locks and gas appliances as the leader, upstream and downstream products and various accessories. Xiaolan lock industry started very early. Ms. Zhu Xueling, director of Xiaolan Productivity Promotion Center, said: "Since the establishment of the first padlock production factory in the 1970s, Xiaolan's lock industry has developed for 30 years. In the 1990s, Guli Factory produced ball locks and began to export. In the 1990s, Xiaolan has become the export base of Guangdong Lock Industry. At present, Xiaolan has advanced lock technology and mature management, which represents the development direction of China's lock industry.
According to Ms. Zhu, Xiaolan Town has been hailed as China's “Southern Lock City†as early as 1986. Lock products have always maintained a high market share and export rate in China. In 2002, the two brands “Guli†and “Huafeng†were rated as “China’s Top Ten Lock Kingsâ€. In 2003, in the first half of 2003, the “Report on the National Market Share, Industry Ranking, Competitive Capability and Development Potential of Major Industrial Products of Zhongshan City†commissioned by the Zhongshan Municipal Government. The national market share is the first, and Huafeng brand locks account for the third place in the national market. In 2003, there were 1,801 hardware enterprises in Xiaolan Town, including 215 lock enterprises, accounting for 17.5%; the output value of hardware industry reached 6.78 billion yuan. The lock industry output value was 1.37 billion yuan, accounting for 20.2%; the hardware industry employed 64,000 people, including 14,000 lock enterprises. In 2003, there were 4 enterprises with a production value of more than 100 million yuan in the lock industry of Xiaolan Town, and the town has an annual output of 340 million locks. At present, Xiaolan Town has been hailed as one of the largest lock production bases in Asia.
It is reported that Zhongshan City is striving to become the first brand in the hardware and lock industry at home and abroad through the development mode of “inner quality and external imageâ€. In this regard, technology and quality are especially valued by the Xiaolan lock industry. For example, Guli Security Products Co., Ltd., with an annual output value of 30 million locks, has an internationally advanced electroplating production line, advanced product development equipment and testing equipment. At the same time, the company is also certified by the German RWTUV company IS9001:2000. Ms. Zhu introduced that Xiaolan Town currently has the world's latest and high-tech lock type, such as electric lock, remote lock, electronic lock, fingerprint lock, voice lock, digital lock, handle lock and induction lock. The scope of locks has also evolved from home locks to vehicles and engineering.
As Xiaolan is located in the highly open Pearl River Delta region, the exogenous economy has developed rapidly. Therefore, while forming a cluster of lock industry, Xiaolan is also striving to develop overseas markets and strive to “go outâ€.
It is understood that in Xiaolan's lock industry, there are many forms of export: for example, in the development process of “Guli†lock industry, it pays attention to brand cultivation and wins by quality. Its products have been locked in more than 60 countries and regions in the world. Winning a wide range of markets, "Hua Feng" has mainly been out of the country in the form of processing and OEM; while "Gao Li" lock industry mainly relies on the form of OEM to occupy the high-end market in Europe and America.
The future development trend of China's lock industry
Nowadays, the world's major lock-up powers are Germany, the United States, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and other countries, and with the adjustment of their industrial structure, low-end products have begun to shift to developing countries, including China's domestic market. . In China, it is focused on developing high-end brands. For example, in some high-end hotels and hotel locks in China, most of the locks in these countries are still used. The domestic high-end locks market is still controlled by the “foreign lockâ€. Faced with this situation, the industry believes that the future development trend of China's lock industry should be based on the development of high-precision, high-performance production equipment and production equipment. Increase the scientific and technological content. Improve the degree of automation, and focus on the development of high-precision, high-end products. They are generally optimistic about the market for high-end locks. Ms. Zhu also believes: "In today's fast-changing technology, the products are changing from form to content, the development of China's lock industry should also focus on market demand and changes. It is necessary to take the road of high-grade and intelligent locks and strive to improve themselves. The technical level and technological content. Only in this way can the Chinese lock industry compete with foreign advanced locks in this field."
On the issue of how to develop high-end lock products, experts pointed out that in addition to the appearance and appearance of the products, the production and innovation of high-end lock products in China must also make continuous breakthroughs in the use performance of the products. "foreign goods" compete with each other. There are three main types of these sorghum pins: the first one is a high-grade mechatronics IC card smart lock, TM card lock, and RF card lock. These locks have computer technology, precision manufacturing technology, and can realize hierarchical management, unauthorized copying, key loss can be abolished at any time, easy to use, etc., and its market prospects are generally optimistic. The second type is a rolling code remote lock with high safety performance. The key of this type of lock uses Keele rolling code technology. The passwords are different every time. Any scanning system can't capture the code of the next launch. Therefore, the security performance is very high, and it is optimistic in the market prospect. The third is an advanced biometric feature lock. The lock is characterized by the use of human fingerprints, palm prints, language, and facial features, and the uniqueness and uniqueness of the biometric features. The encryption method is safe and reliable, and is convenient to operate, avoiding the inconvenience of carrying mechanical keys, identification cards, remote controls, and the like.
Experts also estimate that the market potential for high- and mid-range mortise locks and anti-theft locks in residential areas is also large. According to China's urban construction statistics, in recent years, China has purchased nearly 40 million households with an annual value of more than 200,000 apartments. Faced with this huge market and people's awareness of anti-theft, the market potential of high-end mortise locks and anti-theft locks is undoubted. In addition, with the continuous expansion of the Chinese auto market and the development of the rural market, locks such as door locks, lever locks, luggage locks, engine locks, and locks for rural use will also be alive.
The pursuit of high-end locks market at home and abroad is increasing day by day, and has attracted the attention of many manufacturers in Xiaolan, and plans to actively practice.

Mr. Wu Junyi, executive director of Zhongshan Gaoli Lock Co., Ltd., said that the current level of lock-up in mainland China is already quite high, and it is in a period of transition from low to medium-to-high-end. If you pass this stage, the development prospects are quite optimistic. For example, Mr. Wu: "In the past few years, the Taiwanese region where the Asian lock industry is developed and South Korea have now fallen behind due to the renewal of equipment. China is a new emerging country in which it can adopt the most international With advanced manufacturing equipment and technology, the leading position of the Chinese lock industry in terms of technology and grade is fully expected."
With the continuous deepening of China's opening up to the outside world, the development of high-end buildings is accelerating, and the prospect of high-end locks market is optimistic China's lock industry has increased its investment in high-tech locks year by year, and the market demand for high-end locks has increased year by year.
