Midnight Test: Which is More “Social Anxiety-Friendly” – Magnetic or Mechanical Locks?

Core Definitions

Mechanical Lock: Traditional mechanical locks rely on the mechanical cooperation between the lock tongue and the lock hole of the door lock to achieve the opening and closing of the door.
Silent Magnetic Lock: There is no obvious mechanical lock tongue. It automatically rebounds and locks or silently closes through strong magnetic adsorption.
