Products also incorporate high-precision smart locking features within stainless steel deadbolt housings, (12-20mm diameter, bolt throw lengths 25-35mm) with machining features deadbolt void flatness of ±0.008mm, concentricity 0.008mm. This ensures secure closure and the ability to withstand 10 forced entry strikes at 300 lb-ft of force of 300 lb-ft considering pull pressure and locked deadbolt arrangements. Cover housings are aluminum motor with gear chamber housing features ±0.012mm of metal consistency with bearing ledge seats and withstands torques greater than and equal to 0.8 to 2.0 Nm. Locking cylinder locks are brass having pin chambers with tolerances of ±0.010mm, for pick resisting, and 6-pin tumbler tumbler systems. The alloy die-cast lock chassis is zinc.

304 stainless steel shows superior corrosion resistance, keeping its function and appearance for more than a decade in coastal regions and 500+ hours of salt spray dizziness testing per ASTM B117. It has excellent tensile (515 MPa) and resistance forcibly entry for 10 strikes of 300 lb-ft force and has zero maintenance needed to prevent the rust and degrad without in the components. It has a high machinability to achieve the +-0.008mm in deadbolt surface flatness such that the deadbolt achieve a high flatness and the surface is polished to maintain the aesthetics. C36000 brass has excellent machinability such that he can the manufacture of complex collapsible blocks in cylindrical for the lock bodies and has a pin chamber tolerance of +/- 0.010 mm to insure pick resistance. It also provides higher corrosion resistance to the moisture presence in the environment and handling, has not moved from the position and maintained its stability in respect of dimension and at critical tolerances over more than 200 000 are repeated locking mechanisms, has the aesthetics of the common appearence in security and that its operation of the spring pin is reliable. For the diecast, ZA-27 zinc alloy has also displayed a high level of capacitance of complex chassis for locks with integrated geometries in planar mounting features with a single piece of construction. It maintains a high quality surface that can enter the direct plating without any need to cover and has fine dimensional for a tolerances of 0.015 in regards to the hole position. It also has a strength of 283 MPa tensile which is adequate for the components of unlock structure, is efficient which is required a high construction (density 6.7 g/cm³) that is lighter than steel.
For the production of the deadbolt shafts, CNC turning is used. They have a diameter tolerance of ±0.012mm and a concentricity of 0.008mm, allowing for a secure locking mechanism. In order to avoid the deadbolt locking surfaces from being forcibly rotated, precision grinding is utilized to maintain a flatness of ±0.008mm to Ra 0.4-0.8μm. 5-axis machining creates the motor housing with a ±0.012mm accuracy, accommodating the necessary electrical components and gear subassemblies. Precision boring has a tolerance of ±0.008mm and a surface finish of Ra 0.6μm which allows for smooth operation of the motor at 0.8-2.0 Nm torque. Swiss-type turning allows for the production of lock pins with a ±0.008mm tolerance in the diameter to fit the tumbler mechanisms. Thread milling is the process used for generating mounting threads M3 to M6 with a precision of 0.010mm in the pitch. To create the zinc alloy chassis which is complex in design and integrates other components, die-casting is used. Surface treatments used include electroless nickel plating (10-20μm) for improved corrosion resistance and surface hardness, PVD for premium, scratch resistant finishes, powder coating (40-80μm) for outer components, and Type II/III anodizing (10-50μm) for EMI shielding.
We ensure deadbolt locking surface flatness safety and concentricity at 0.008mm in all 8 directions to secure the Lock’s engagement to prevent forced entry resistance after 10 strike attacks at 300 lb-ft including a performing balance to the resistance cylinder pin chambers at ±0.010mm to maintain and support pick resistance in 6 pin tumbler cylinders smooth key action with <2 kg insertion force. Motor housing bearing seat tolerances of ±0.008mm to hold still while the gear runs at 0.8-2.0 Nm with <45 dBA of operating noise during the minimum friction running spec of the housing. Gear tooth pitch sideways to the tooth direction to maintain a <0.05mm backlash for power transmission at the specified ratio of 1:50 to 1:200. Fingerprint sensor mounting surface flatness <0.008mm to hold a biometric strike with a false rejection rate <1% of the specified acceptance rate . Lock chassis mounting hole positional accuracy to ±0.015mm to not misalign during assembly storing the deadbolt throw to ±0.5mm over a distance of 25-35mm to avoid strike plate engagement. Thread tolerance class to class 6H pitch accuracy to ±0.010mm for secure fastening surface finish to Ra 0.4-0.8μm for deadbolt surfaces to lubricate the friction to <0.15.
