For example, indoor door locks are in contact with us every day, so we must pay attention to its procurement. However, for home improvement, because of the little knowledge of interior door locks, it is quite difficult to quickly purchase a good-looking and high-grade one. The interior door lock also plays a vital role among all the door hardware. It can be said that the privacy of our home is guaranteed by it. Simultaneously, it directly affects the performance and lifespan of the interior door. Since it is such a key component, how do we select an appropriate one?
