As the saying goes, "Experts see what matters, while novices are distracted by the spectacle." When shopping for a furniture lock, many people tend to focus only on appearances at first, quickly becoming overwhelmed by the wide variety of options on the market. If you’re unsure where to start when choosing a lock, beginning with a trusted brand is undoubtedly a smart and efficient approach. A reputable and experienced brand often ensures higher quality and a more reliable service system.
