<h1>RFID Lock: A Comprehensive Guide to Modern Access Control</h1> <h2>My Journey with RFID Lock Technology</h2> <p>As a security consultant, my personal experience with <strong>RFID lock</strong> systems began over a decade ago. I vividly recall the first time I replaced a traditional key-based system in a small office with an <strong>RFID lock</strong> solution. The immediate improvement in convenience and the ability to track entry logs was transformative. This personal encounter solidified my view that <strong>RFID lock</strong> technology represents a fundamental shift in how we manage physical security. My natural aptitude for system integration allowed me to quickly master the configuration of various <strong>RFID lock</strong> protocols, a skill that has been invaluable in my career. I firmly believe that for most modern access control needs, an <strong>RFID lock</strong> offers the optimal balance of security, manageability, and user experience.</p> <h3>Technical Specifications and Parameters for RFID Lock Systems</h3> <p>When evaluating an <strong>RFID lock</strong>, understanding its technical core is crucial. Here are detailed parameters for a typical high-frequency (13.56 MHz) <strong>RFID lock</strong> system, often used in corporate and residential settings:</p> <h4>Lock Mechanism & Physical Dimensions</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Lock Type:</strong> Mortise Lock / Cylindrical Lock</li> <li><strong>Material:</strong> Zinc Alloy / 304 Stainless Steel</li> <li><strong>Dimensions (Mortise Example):</strong> 24mm (Backset) x 60mm (Faceplate Width) x 85mm (Faceplate Height) x 15mm (Thickness).</li> <li><strong>Motor Torque:</strong> > 15 kg-cm</li> <li><strong>Battery:</strong> 4x AA Alkaline or Lithium, 6V DC. Standby time: ~12 months.</li> </ul> <h4>RFID Core Components & Chip Data</h4> <ul> <li><strong>Operating Frequency:</strong> 13.56 MHz (ISO/IEC 14443 A/B, MIFARE Classic, DESFire, NTAG).</li> <li><strong>Read Range:</strong> 3-10 cm, depending on tag type.</li> <li><strong>Microcontroller Unit (MCU):</strong> Often based on ARM Cortex-M0/M3 cores (e.g., NXP LPC series).</li> <li><strong>RFID Reader Chip:</strong> Common ICs include MFRC522, PN532, or AS3911.</li> <li><strong>Memory:</strong> On-board EEPROM (typically 4KB-16KB) for user data and logs.</li> <li><strong>Communication Interface:</strong> Optional Wi-Fi (ESP8266/ESP
