Main countries of lock production

The world’s main producers of locks are the United States, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, Japan, Hungary, India, Israel and China. Among them, the countries with better production technology are the Federal Republic of Germany, Italy, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom and Israel. Most of the world’s famous brand locks are concentrated in these countries. Among them, the United States produces the highest production of padlocks, with an annual sales volume of about 2.8 billion dollars, 30% of which are sold in the international market. The drawer locks are famous in the United Kingdom and Italy, and the locks are mainly in the United States, Federal Germany and Italy. Italy is also an important producer of lockmaking equipment.

China is also a big lock making country in the world. It has a complete lock making industry system. In the 1990s, China produced 560 million locks of all kinds annually, with a total output value of more than 2 billion yuan. Up to now, China has become the world’s largest producer and consumer of locks. According to statistics, the domestic lock industry has an annual sales of more than 30 billion yuan, a production capacity of 2 billion sets, and an annual export value of more than 1.2 billion dollars. With the increasing demand for decorative home hardware, the lock market will continue to grow at a high rate of more than 20% per year in the future. In the huge lock market, which products are popular and which products are the most popular, I would like to make a brief summary here, hoping to help locksmiths and sellers China’s lock export trade value ranked the fourth in the world before 2000 (the first was the Federal Republic of Germany, with an annual trade value of 209 million dollars; the second was Italy, with an annual trade value of 1 US $8.3 billion, followed by the United States, with an annual trade volume of US $160 million; China and France are relatively close, about 1 US $2.3 billion), of which the export of drawer locks accounts for 48% of the total international sales, ranking first in the world.

Lock production mode
The more advanced locking countries in the world basically adopt the intelligent sealed production mode. When raw materials come in, parts processing, auxiliary processing, finished product assembly, finished product packaging, and finished product delivery are not carried out. China’s lock manufacturing enterprises adopt cooperative and open production mode, and raw materials are not imported into the factory. Most of the semi-finished products such as core, punching parts, plates, castings, etc. are processed by external cooperative units. Advanced lock manufacturing countries pay great attention to improving the processing accuracy of parts. The manufacturing of locks should never be shoddy, but should improve the manufacturing accuracy and assembly accuracy of lock parts according to the processing requirements of mechanical products. Advanced technologies, processes and equipment should be used to control and detect the processing process of parts to ensure the production and assembly quality of lock parts.

Purpose of padlock
The padlock is the oldest and largest family of locks in the world. It can be said that other locks are derived from the padlock. The lock body of the padlock is equipped with a circular or “I-shaped” metal stem that can be buckled, that is, “lock beam”, so that the padlock can be directly buckled with the lock body through the lock beam to form a closed lock (see color picture page 1). Because of this structural feature, the padlock is convenient, flexible and widely used. It can replace other locks, while other locks can not replace padlocks. It is an ideal hazard prevention lock, but the padlock must be interlocked with the convex perforated parts of the closed object to play the locking role. It does not have the function of internal and external closing and opening, so it can not be used in some occasions, such as in some occasions with high decorative requirements or requiring the use of matching locks, -Generally, padlocks should not be used.
