The number of locks used in the whole project is around 450 pieces.
The traditional mechanical key is the cheapest door lock, and it is not easy to broken, everyone knows how to use it. With these advantages, the mechanical key is still the basic door lock on the campus. However, there are three key problems for the mechanical key to lock the door.
