Common Problems with Traditional Key Locks

Traditional key locks may appear low-cost, but in practice, they present several operation and maintenance challenges:

1. Frequent key loss: Every semester, students in each class lose keys, requiring teachers to repeatedly intervene, which disrupts daily teaching management.
2. Difficulty in graduation recovery:A large number of keys are not returned during graduation season each year, preventing lockers from being reused. Entire lock cylinders must be replaced before they can be assigned to incoming students.
3. High long-term maintenance costs: Indirect costs such as replacing lock cylinders, duplicating keys, and manual handling accumulate over time, significantly increasing maintenance costs without being immediately apparent.
