Mechanical locks are used for security purposes. The global locks market has been growing due to the deployment of security-based products such as mechanical and digital locks at residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. Increasing security concerns across all the world are driving the need for high-security locking systems in residential and commercial spaces.
The demand for mechanical locks is expected to be driven by the rising need for two-way locks, also known as double-sided locks, in the emergency exits of buildings for evacuation during fires and other calamities. Two-way locks accept a key on either side of the door, even if it is not completely rotated. A key or keypad is needed on either side of the door to activate the two-way locking mechanism.
Over the past decade, there have been rapid technological developments in locks with a shift from mechanical to electronic smart locks. Smart electronic locks offer networked access control, which is expected to hamper the growth of the global mechanical locks market during the review period.
