Hotel Door Lock Maintenance-Main Parts.

Smart RFID hotel door locks generally include lock panels, mechanical lock cylinders, lock mortise, mainboard, and battery pack.

Tips 1. Hotel door Lock Panel Maintenance

The hotel rf card lock panel includes a front and rear panel. The hotel door lock handles often fail here.

Adding butter to the door lock handle spring every year is recommended. If the transmission part of the lock body has lubricant, the handle will not get stuck.

Its transmission will be smooth, and its service life can be extended. At the same time, check whether the panel fastening screws are loose to ensure they are tight.

Tips 2. The Hotel door lock mechanical cylinder maintenance

The automatic lock cylinder is rarely used in the hotel key card lock. Regular room guests use the room key card to open the door.

It is recommended to perform mechanical lock cylinder maintenance every year or when the key is not smoothly inserted and removed.

You can put a small amount of graphite powder or pencil powder into the lock cylinder slot and plug it back and forth to smooth the key insertion and removal.

If any changes are flocking hinge positioning hinge or the locking plate on the door should be adjusted.

At the same time, pay attention to the cold shrinkage and thermal expansion caused by the weather (wet in spring, dry in winter) to ensure that the gap between the door and the door frame, the lock mortise, and the lock strike plate is reasonable, and the lock is used smoothly.
