I. Full-Chain Smart Manufacturing: Building a Leading Industry Foundation
Tenon is one of the few domestic enterprises that integrates R&D, independent manufacturing, omnichannel sales, and one-stop service within the smart security sector, consistently ranking in the top tier of comprehensive competitiveness. Having specialized in security for 32 years, Tenon focused on the independent R&D and production of smart fingerprint locks starting in 2011. After 15 years of technological accumulation, the company seamlessly entered the integrated armored smart door sector, establishing a closed-loop layout across technology, production capacity, distribution channels, and after-sales service.

It also hosts the Guangdong Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for 3D Facial Recognition Smart Locks (Source: Public Announcement by the Department of Science and Technology of Guangdong Province).

Tenon took the lead in drafting two national industry standards: Technical Requirements for Smart Doors in Residential Buildings and General Technical Requirements for Smart Entry Doors. By deeply participating in the formulation of industry rules, Tenon has established technical benchmarks and future development directions for smart doors, cementing its irreplaceable industry voice and professional authority.

From raw material selection and component processing to final assembly and extreme performance testing, every smart door must pass over a hundred rigorous inspections, including salt spray corrosion resistance and heavy hammer impact tests, ensuring comprehensive product stability and home safety.

 

Relying on this mature smart manufacturing system, the brand simultaneously meets the demands for standardized mass production and personalized customization. It can handle large-scale e-commerce orders while providing tailored solutions for various floor plans and interior design styles, efficiently supporting rapid nationwide delivery.

 

To date, Tenon has served over 15 million users globally and provided supporting equipment for more than 3,000 high-end real estate projects. Through deep partnerships with top-tier developers like Vanke and Country Garden, Tenon operates a dual-track strategy across online retail and offline engineering channels, maintaining a mature and solid distribution network.
 

 

II. Strategic Advancement: From Smart Lock Benchmark to Pioneer of Integrated Smart Doors
Over a decade ago, when the smart lock industry was still in its infancy, Tenon took the initiative to enter the market. By breaking through traditional mechanical lock limitations via technological breakthroughs, and relying on stable performance, rich smart features, and a comprehensive service system, it grew into a household name and a top-tier smart lock brand in China, accumulating profound technological reserves, market reputation, and a massive user base.

 

As smart homes become universally popular, consumers are no longer satisfied with the piecemeal approach of adding external smart locks to traditional security doors. Demand continues to rise for integrated solutions that support whole-home device connectivity. Precisely grasping market trends and user pain points, Tenon initiated a brand strategy upgrade, stepping beyond the single-lock track to become one of the first pioneers in the integrated smart door sector in China.

 

Unlike simple spliced products on the market, Tenon has pioneered a proprietary integrated smart door structure. Abandoning the outdated approach of mounting external locks on traditional doors, Tenon deeply integrates the armored door body, top-tier smart locks, whole-home security monitoring systems, smart interactive displays, and smart home interconnection modules. This truly achieves "one entry door, the central hub for whole-home intelligence," completely reconstructing the development logic of the entry door industry and propelling traditional security doors into a new era of AI integration. Products are equipped with a full suite of cutting-edge smart configurations, including 3D facial recognition, palm vein recognition, fingerprint unlocking, multi-lens AI monitoring, remote video intercom, human body radar sensing, and a 10.1-inch indoor HD color screen.

 

The transition from a single smart lock product to a comprehensive integrated smart door solution is not a mere category extension. Rather, it is a holistic reconstruction of the home entry scenario, built upon over 30 years of security technology accumulation. Tenon has successfully completed its strategic leap from "Smart Lock Expert" to "Innovative Integrated Smart Door Brand," leading the industry's competition from single-product comparisons to the contest of whole-home comprehensive solutions.

 

III. 2026 Online Channel Data Revealed: Tenon Leads with an Overwhelming 49.4% Market Share
From January to May 2026, the domestic traditional e-commerce smart door market exhibited a significant concentration among top brands, with leading players capturing the vast majority of the market share.

In terms of retail sales volume, Tenon firmly holds the number one spot in the industry with a 49.4% share of retail volume. Yunlu and Yunzhangmen rank second and third with 25.5% and 16.1%, respectively. These top three brands collectively account for a staggering 91% of the market, leaving thousands of remaining brands to divide less than 10% of the share. The Matthew Effect in the industry continues to intensify.

 

On core online platforms like JD.com and Tmall, Tenon's overall sales performance consistently ranks at the forefront of the industry. Notably, three of its flagship products on JD.com have long dominated the top three spots in smart door category sales.

Backed by its authority as an industry standard drafter, comprehensive smart manufacturing capacity, a complete product matrix, and leading online channel advantages, Tenon remains firmly in the industry's top tier, continuously driving integrated smart doors toward standardization and mass-market adoption.
 

 

IV. Future Outlook: Breaking Industry Barriers to Bring Smart Entry to Every Household
Currently, the smart door industry is in a critical transition from a niche, high-end category to a mass-market consumer product. High price thresholds, consumer misconceptions, and opaque service fees are the three core pain points restricting industry expansion. Tenon's full-chain layout precisely targets these bottlenecks: launching high cost-performance products to lower the barrier to entry; insisting on native integrated design to correct the misconception that "smart door = security door + external lock"; and implementing a standardized "all-inclusive pricing" service model to eliminate hidden industry charges, thereby reshaping terminal service standards and consumer reputation.

 

As an industry standard setter, online sales leader, and technological innovation pioneer, Tenon proactively shoulders the responsibility of an industry-leading brand. Moving forward, the brand will continue to deepen its cooperation with mainstream e-commerce platforms like JD.com. Leveraging its 32 years of security technology accumulation and Industry 4.0 smart manufacturing advantages, Tenon will increase its investment in AI R&D, continuously iterating product features and the home living experience.

 

On one hand, it will continue to optimize its mid-range, affordable product lines, making high-standard integrated smart doors accessible to ordinary families. On the other hand, it will delve deeper into the high-end flagship market, continuing to lead the industry's technological innovation and upgrades.

 

From a single smart lock to a complete smart entry system, and from single-product manufacturing to whole-home smart solutions, Tenon always controls product quality with craftsmanship and drives industrial transformation through innovation. Amidst the wave of whole-home intelligence, Tenon will continue to leverage its leading brand effect, partnering with full-industry-chain allies to expand the smart door market, accelerate the replacement of traditional security doors, and journey together with the industry toward a new era of universal smart entry.
