Consumer Agency Finds Samsung SDS Excels in Digital Door Lock Security... Highest Price

Smart Door Lock Comparison Information Production Results

[Sejong=Asia Economy Reporter Joo Sang-don] Samsung SDS's digital door lock was found to have relatively 'excellent' security, as security programs were applied to both unlocking methods: remote control/home network and card key. However, its price was 480,000 KRW, making it the most expensive among the eight brands compared by the Korea Consumer Agency.

On the 9th, the Consumer Agency released the results of tests and evaluations on the safety, security, and battery efficiency of smart door locks. The subjects were eight products preferred according to consumer surveys: BuildOne (BO-DP9000FS), Samsung SDS (SHP-DP950), Solity (P2000-BH), Assa Abloy Korea (GRP-YG14B), Evernet (FELICE-F-SN), Unico Hightech (PM910V), Hi-One Plus (H-7090SK), and Hyundai Telecom (HDL-7390).

Regarding security verification, none of the tested products malfunctioned or were opened by unregistered card keys, fingerprints, or smartphones. However, differences were observed in the security programs applied to remote control/home network and card key unlocking methods among the products.

Samsung SDS's product was evaluated as excellent, while BuildOne and Assa Abloy Korea's products applied security programs to the remote control/home network unlocking method and were rated as 'good.'

When checking the number of times the door could be opened and closed with a card key after battery replacement, six products?BuildOne, Solity, Assa Abloy Korea, Evernet, Hi-One Plus, and Hyundai Telecom?were relatively 'excellent,' capable of more than 30,000 open/close cycles. Two products, Samsung SDS and Unico Hightech, which structurally consume more battery due to Bluetooth connectivity, were rated 'good' with over 15,000 cycles.

Regarding the automatic locking delay time from when the door closes until the door lock locks, if intrusion by strangers is a concern, a short setting is preferred, whereas a longer setting is preferred when entering and exiting repeatedly in a short time. Four products?Samsung SDS, Evernet, Hi-One Plus, and Hyundai Telecom?allowed the automatic locking delay time to be set between 1 and 8 seconds.

All compared products met safety standards. None of the products experienced damage or malfunction from an external force of 150 kg, heat shock at 100°C, electric shock, or electromagnetic waves. In case of fire, the locking device automatically released to facilitate escape, meeting relevant standards. There were no issues with labeling on any of the products.
