After the advent of serrure électronique passives, they have gradually replaced some traditional active electronic locks, becoming the new favorite of many buyers and widely used in industries such as smart terminals, terminaux financiers, équipements électromécaniques, and cabinets.

It is a new and important branch in the field of electronic locks. How does it differ from traditional active electronic locks? The following table compares the two in five aspects to help you quickly understand.
| Serrure
Difference |
Passive electronic lock | Active electronic lock |
| Power supply mode | No need for built-in battery or external power supply, powered by electronic key | Powered by dry battery, lithium battery, external power supply, etc |
| Unlocking methods | Passive electronic key | Password, RFID card, NFC, Fingerprint, Palm vein, Facial Recognition, Iris |
| Management precision | capable of unlocking multiple locks with a single key
It features multiple permission management options, such as permanent and time-limited The operation is auditable, with unlocking records automatically recorded and uploadable to the platform, enabling anytime viewing |
Access control typically requires manual intervention; some high-end products support tiered access control |
| Maintenance cost | No need to replace the battery, supports battery charging
No wire wear, low failure rate |
Battery needs to be replaced regularly
Power cords are prone to aging |
| Installation difficulty | Aucun câblage requis, easy to install | Lock structure is complex, installation is relatively cumbersome |
Dans l'ensemble, serrure électronique passives are neither electrified nor require electricity. By transferring the necessary operating power of the electronic lock to the electronic key, a series of inherent challenges of traditional electronic locks are addressed, such as difficulty in management; low battery power, exhaustion, and frequent maintenance; structure complexe, low generalization and standardization; et taux de défaillance élevé.
