The guide plate is a piece of iron or stainless steel fixed at the extension position of the lock tongue. It is an indispensable accessory for the installation of smart locks. It mainly prevents the door frame from being worn. Secondly, the sizes of the guide plates are mainly 24 by 240mm, 24 by 280mm, 30 by 240mm, 30 by 38mm, 40 by 388mm, 33 by 210mm, 30 by 240mm, etc.
What is the role of the door lock guide plate?
The guide plate plays a role in preventing the door frame from being worn. All smart locks will be installed with guide plates when they are installed. The factory standard configuration of smart locks will come with guide plates. If there is no guide plate, the door frame will not look good when it is worn, and it will cause serious damage to the door.
When users buy smart locks, the merchant customer service will ask users to provide relevant information such as the door opening method, guide plate, whether there is a top and bottom hook, etc., which requires users to measure the size of the guide plate by themselves. However, because users do not understand the guide plate, the size provided to the merchant is incorrect, so there will be a mis-shipping situation.
