Smart Retail & Self-Service Equipment Hardware

A complete hardware kit for vending machines, parcel pickup lockers, gym/office storage lockers, and apartment mailbox arrays — SUS304 compression cam latches for vending main doors, DC12V electromagnetic bolt locks for express-locker compartments (1 per cell, 100+ per cabinet), code-changeable 3/4-digit PIN combination locks for storage cubbies, and USPS STD-4C / EN 13724 cam locks for mailboxes.

Smart retail and self-service equipment is not one product — it is four very different cabinets with very different hardware bills. A vending machine needs a SUS304 main-door compression latch and an ATM-grade dimple lock on the cash box; an express parcel locker needs dozens of DC12V electromagnetic bolt locks (one per compartment) plus an IP65 outer cam for the street-installed control panel; a gym storage locker needs user-resettable PIN combination locks that survive thousands of code changes; an apartment mailbox array needs USPS STD-4C / EN 13724-compliant cam locks with a postal-master access plan. Yuxin Electric supplies the full hardware stack across all four form factors — mechanical cam locks, DC electromagnetic bolts, code-changeable combination locks, biometric padlocks, mailbox-spec locks, weatherproof IP65 outer fittings — and engineers the niche items (RFID controller integration, USPS-compliant locks, status-feedback bolt modules) on demand.
