What are the differences between fully automatic and semi-automatic?

The difference between semi-automatic smart locks and fully automatic smart door locks in use is not very big. There is no difference between them. It is just a matter of usage habits and preferences.

Fully automatic and semi-automatic door locks

1. The biggest difference in operation between a fully automatic smart lock and a semi-automatic smart lock is that the fully automatic smart lock is driven by a motor throughout the entire process. When opening the door, after the fingerprint recognition or password verification is passed, the door can be opened directly without pressing down the handle, and when closing the door, it can be automatically locked without lifting the handle. From the perspective of user experience, fully automatic smart locks are undoubtedly more convenient, but on the other hand, it is undeniable that they have higher power consumption, higher process requirements, adaptability and stability, which are a new test for enterprises.

2. The fully automatic smart lock will automatically retract the lock tongue after the user passes the correct unlocking verification such as fingerprint, magnetic card, password, etc. The user only needs to push and pull gently to enter the door, without any unnecessary operations such as turning the handle. When closing the door, just close the door and the lock tongue will automatically pop out and lock it. Fully automatic fingerprint locks are undoubtedly more convenient to use, but they are generally more expensive. Fully automatic fingerprint locks are certainly more convenient to use, but they also come at a higher price.
