The Kylin Lock is an auspicious spiritual object that guards peace
. This Kylin copper lock from the Qing Dynasty is 8.3 cm long, 4.5 cm high, and 2.3 cm thick. The patterns are bright and colorful. The scales are dot-shaped, resembling money. The hair is draped from the back to the tail, showing a loyal and righteous demeanor.

Jewelry
locks are also called accessory locks, which are commonly known as "longevity locks" and "hundred-family protection locks". They are made of gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, wood, stone, etc.
Jewelry locks are shaped like ingots or ruyi, and eye-catching auspicious text patterns are engraved on both sides of the lock body. They are locks that people hang and wear. They are mainly symbolic, especially expressing hopes and blessings for the healthy growth of children. Decorative locks are
meticulously engraved with metal.
Decorative locks are the culmination of traditional Chinese metal crafts. They use many techniques such as flat carving, relief carving, yin-yang carving, and hollowing to express vivid figures, animals, plants, utensils, musical instruments, etc. on the plane of the metal lock shell.
The decoration also reflects the rich folk story culture, such as "Three Stars of Fortune, Longevity and Happiness", "Two Immortals of Harmony and Unity", "Liu Hai Playing with the Golden Toad", and often engraved with "Gold and Jade Full House", "Dragon and Phoenix Bring Good Luck", etc.
Guangsuo is a simple and practical reed lock.
Guangsuo is a horizontal lock, which is the most common lock shape in ancient times. Because it is produced in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, it is also called "Shao lock". Guangsuo is simple in shape and easy to open and close. It is a typical reed structure lock. The
locking principle is to use the open reed to be stuck in the lock and close it. The inserted metal key with a special-shaped head presses the reed, thereby releasing the limit of the reed to open it. The archaeological discoveries of the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang have confirmed that the reed is the most important thing in China.

Combination locks do not require keys.
The characteristics of this type of lock are that it does not require keys. The locking principle is that there are several rotatable engraved wheels on the lock body. By rotating, they spell out the Chinese characters or numbers that have been set secretly, and the lock nose can be opened.
The secret passwords are mostly proverbs or poems, such as "和梅竹贵定", "双抱寿喜", "黄金万两", etc. This type of lock is usually used by wealthy families or scholars. Some ever-changing exquisite locks meet the desire of the ancestors to protect their wealth, and with the evolution of the times and technology, they have become modern safes. As the founder of commercial safes, Jibao has always adhered to the high international standards-the level of safes corresponds to the level of locks.

That is, in strict accordance with the lock certification requirements adopted by EU countries, safes with different security levels must have different levels and different numbers of locks to match them. As the most important and most easily overlooked component of the safe, the locks used in Jibao safes have also passed multi-national lock certifications (US UL, German VDS, etc.), provide single or dual lock protection, and upgraded security heavy-locking structure to ensure a massive 1 million sets of secret keys.

Jibao is committed to making locks better serve the present and the future, and witnessing the eternal truth and good wishes that people lock deep in their hearts.
