Customer Ratings & Reviews

I own around 12 different tapo cameras, 10 smart light switches, and several smart plugs and now the door lock. All products work well with the same app! It is nice that I can lock the doors and turn off the lights all from my phone, especially if I forgot and had to leave the house. No specifically the door lock. My door already had a dead bolt in it so set up was super easy. Just uninstalled the old lock(two screws), followed the simple instruction and screwed this one Into old existing hole. No drilling required unless you want to put in the one additional/optional screw. Battery life has been great so far. Still reads 100% after a week or so having it installed. Never loses connections. Setting up the optional finger prints were very easy using the app. It also has the ability to set up profiles for each person in your house or even relatives so they can let your dogs out while your on vacation. You can set up one time pins for family or friends to use. Feels sturdy. Overall great product.

I have looked for the “perfect” smart lock for me for a long time, and eventually give up because something was missing. This lock has everything I was looking for; codes for entry, fingerprint scanning, easy to access keyhole if battery dies, and emergency power source port (if battery dies and you need to use a battery backup to gain entry). The big bonus was that this comes with 2 spare keys, which most will, but many other brands come with keys that are hard to or impossible to get copied- these are shaped like a regular house key and were simple to copy at the machine in Home Depot. It did take 5-6 hours to charge the battery so that was something to consider when installing. I have a lot of KASA devices and those now run through the Tapo app, so this was incredibly easy to add to the app and set up features. Install was incredibly wasy and took less than 10 minutes, and i was able to remove the gross/dated brass doorknob and put in a “passage” lever which gives it a much cleaner look. Its been installed for almost a week and we have not had any issues and have figured out what time works best for us for auto lock ( I think the default was 30 seconds) and then adding more fingerprints so we can gain access no matter what hand / finger we use. We havent really used the pinpad bc the fingerprint scan is so quick and has been very reliable. Also disabled the doorbell feature, as we already have one, and adjusted the audio for the “ locked/ unlocked” announcement, but it is nice to have vs turning off completely, because it gives me peace of mind.

Works great et easy to install. Feels safe !Hands free access when opening door ! Programs to iPh on Bluetooth , can be opened by phone also !

Great product, reliable works fast with no glitches and a good quality build, I use this on my home and my car shop

Like many other smart locks that are designed to replace current deadbolts, this one is just as simple to install and begin using. It took longer for the battery to get to full charge than it did to get installed and set up. For most installs, it it as simple as removing 4 screws to remove the old lock, put in the new bolt, the panel on the outside and screw it to the plate on the inside, then attach the cable and main unit on the inside with a few more screws, install the battery and the rest is all setting up through the app. It literally took about 10 minutes provided you were replacing a standard bolt that required no special adjustments. Once you set up an account with the Tapo app on your mobile device, adding the lock, connecting it to Wi-Fi and setting up your initial fingerprint and PIN is simply following the audio directions. The Tapo app is the same app used for many other TP-Link products, so if you already have some of them, you should be somewhat familiar with the app. The one thing I found odd with the app is how setting a PIN code and setting a user are two separate options and setting a user is only for fingerprints. Personally I see setting a user as having an option of either PIN or fingerprint and would prefer it not be 2 separate functions especially if I want to have either option for 1 additional person. Adding a user also lets you link that person’s TP-Link account so that they may also use the app remotely for additional features. Once the PINs and fingerprints are set, getting in is quick and simple. The fingerprint scanner is very quick to respond, even at slightly offset angles. The PIN display remains visually hidden till touched and is responsive as well. If those two methods fail, you could always resort to the included physical keys, with the keyhole hidden behind a doorbell button. However, the one drawback on those is they are fairly simple keys and if you are to ever lose one, it’s not so simple to replace just the core of the lock as it is built in the main unit. Even without the keys, if for some reason the battery was to die while you are outside, you could use a USB-C cable from any other powered device and give it enough charge to accept the PIN for entry. On the note of the battery, this is one thing that is different from all the other locks I have tried. This is a single 10,000 mAh rechargeable battery. It says it could last a year pending usage. However, when it does run low, you have to remove it and charge it for several hours. Something that might not be too bad if you remember to put it on before you go to bed or any other time you have several hours that you don’t need to lock/unlock your door from the outside. This does prevent you from having to stock up on other batteries, but it creates a down time window that could be inconvenient if you forget to set times aside to charge. Overall, this lock makes for convenient and quick options to get into your house. Simple install and plenty of ways to share and control access to your house without worrying about making multiple copies of keys to potentially be lost. Plus, it has a simple doorbell for when anyone else may visit. It also has added security features like entering numbers before and after your real PIN to make it look longer than normal in case you have guests with you and don’t want it to sound so simple.

Great deadbolt/smart lock. It comes with everything you need to get you started. They include the deadbolt, fingerprint/numlock/padlock, battery and all you need to install it (except for tools of course). Installing it was easy, they include a clear quick install guide, however if you start the app, it can also take you step by step with a clear video you can follow. I did and it was as easy as removing my old bolt lock and installing the new one (still, make sure you have the required door thickness and how far the bolt hole is located from the edge of the door, they do include also a template and sticker to perfectly align the lock and get it straight). The battery is removable and it has a USB Type C port to charge it (make sure to charge it fully, it took mine quite a few hours to fully charge, it has a charging indicator LED light). Once I had it installed and I inserted the cable and the removable battery I was greeted by a faint voice, it has a speaker and was saying "ready for setup" (I later increased the volume, you can change this in the Tapo app). In the app I clicked on add device and it was immediately recognized, I had to add my home's WIFI credentials and it connected to WIFI, it then checked if there was a firmware update (none). I named the door lock and I was ready to use it. I like the Tapo app it is very intuitive and has tons of options for this door lock. You can set emergency codes, add several fingerprints, permanent codes and also guest ones with expiration dates. It can lock and unlock in many ways (fingerprint, codes, Bluetooth, and remotely too via WIFI). The lock as a speaker too and can act as a doorbell too. The feature I'm loving the most is the remote WIFI unlock, I can lock and/or unlock my door and let visit in or my delivery guy in and the remotely lock it (I do have camera on my front door too), I wish this door lock had a camera too, it would have made it the complete package! Battery life has been good and has barely gone down for me, although my front door doesn't see that much traffic, I don't know how much it would last if it does. Good thing is that you can easily remove the cover and charge the battery really quick (I wish they included a 2nd backup battery though). The deadbolt seems very sturdy like any regular one, with the addition of being as smart one, highly recommend it if you want to modernize and secure your door, it will make your life easier, specially if such door sees lots of traffic!!

Awesome lock. Instalation: Very easy to install for me, no need to drill anything, just removed my old regular bolt lock, installed mounting plate and then installed lock on it. Lock looks very nice and modern and front possitioned fingerprint reader is accessable regadless which way your door swings when opening, right or left. Features Keypad is very nice lit and bellow the keypad is ring button. Yes, I was very surprised to see this ring button and I think it's very cool but since my home has storm/screen door I have no use for it because in my case it's not visible. Once you righ the buttom lock have small but powerful speaker on internall part where ring will bell and small led light will turn on around the button iself. This speaker also have voice notifications when lock is locked or unlocked. Another cool thing on this lock is that is comes with 2 physical spare keys and actual key opening is located and hiden under the right bell button which is eaay accessable by pulling the ring button out. This lock beside finger print and physical keys will also give you access by the bluetooth on your phone, single access (one time code), regular code or application itself. It does work with Alexa and Google assistant. Application: Application itself will manage whole lock. If you setting up or managing user, fingerprint or access code you will initiate the process on the app itself. Also controling the volume of the ring or voice notification is also contoled by the app iself. One of my favorite features is access log which will show you when door was unlocked or locked and by using which method or/and which user. Lock has option for auto lock and it does offer times after how lock lock will lock itself. Mine is set to lowest whick is 15 seconds. Battery: Now my favorite part is battery which is promising one year life and can be charged simply by using your phone usb type c charger. Pros: Easy instalation Nice look Fingerprint resistant Fingerprint access Lite up keypad Pin access Hiden keyhole Physical key access Ring Notifications Easy managment Remote operating Access log records Cons None for me

Easy install that took no longer than 20 minutes including the removal of our old smart lock that had been there for 10 years. It’s not my first rodeo. So it may take longer for first timers. However, it was a necessary and nice update. This Tapo unit is super fast and truly locks and unlocks in just 1 second. I do hope that with time it doesn’t slow down. It was also breeze to add to the app. That took about 2 minutes and we were up and running. There’s no accidental locking when walking too close or swiping the lock as we would experience with our other branded lock. We use this for our garage door so this is perfect for all of us to get in with just a touch of our finger when carrying loads. Having alternative ways to get in is also a plus. It also includes a quick emergency charge option if the battery dies or you don’t have the master key, but also giving you the ability to open using the app. You don’t have to use the doorbell feature, but if you do, you don’t need a separate bridge or hub. The sound comes directly from the unit and will also display on phone. The notifications are quite speedy delivered to your phone within seconds and it’ll notify you of who the person was who opened or locked the door (if you have set up multiple members in app). It’ll tell you how the door was opened, whether by manual lock or if it automatically locked for you. You can set up the length of time after the lock has been opened to auto lock it. It even announces as you open or lock the door with a pleasant voice, which you can completely turn off or adjust volume. After several failed attempts to enter with fingerprint or code login it will alarm you and it will lock you out as a safety precaution which is great but make sure you have your phone with you to unlock it or else you may be stuck. I’m not sure how long it would take to reset where you can try your finger or manual code again but your device is the key or you must have the physical key. The app will also show you an event log of who, when and how someone accessed your home. The app offers other options of customization but not tons. It’s easy to use and navigate. The unit is nice to look at and a bit smaller than what it replaced, but there are a couple things I didn’t like or miss. One is the bolt is much smaller than other bolts I’ve installed and even compared to the old one I removed. It wiggles around and I just don’t like that it doesn’t sit tight and securely in its socket (comparison picture included). The second is the lack of randomization of the numbers on the pad. With my old lock the numbers would be randomized so if you had kids or someone behind you that you didn’t want to know your exact door code it would be difficult for them to figure it out. The group of numbers would change places each time you tried to access entry. This unit has static numbers so anyone standing too close can easy acquire your code with a glance. It’s not a biggie or deal breaker in my case because of the location of our lock but it was a feature I appreciated when I had it. We are very happy with this updated smart lock and would recommend it to friends and family.

I’ve never been so happy to replace my electric door lock as I have been with this one. Typically, I have terrible luck with locks like these due to frequent battery issues, app problems, or overly complicated setups. This lock is completely different. I’ve installed many electronic locks over the years, and my litmus test is always to see if I can install the lock without instructions. I installed this one in under 5 minutes and had it set up and running within 10 minutes. It’s so smooth and much easier to use than my previous locks. One of the big highlights is how fast the fingerprint recognition works. It’s not only fast but also very accurate, having denied me access only once so far. I also love that it has a built-in doorbell and a hidden keyhole underneath. The best feature of this lock is its rechargeable battery. This indicates that the lock is very battery-efficient since it relies on its own battery pack. My other locks burn through batteries in 2-3 months, but this lock claims to have a 1-year battery life. I believe this is true because my lock has been installed for several days and is still at 100%, despite frequent use. One downside is the interval timing between automatic door locks. The maximum amount of time you can set this feature to is 15 minutes. I generally prefer 1-2 hours, as my kid is always running in and out of the house. Aside from this one issue, the lock is absolutely perfect. The touchscreen is very responsive and easy to use, the sounds are pleasing, the colors are vibrant, and the app responds lightning fast. I get a notification instantly every time the door is locked/unlocked or the doorbell rings. My previous lock would sometimes alert me at 3 AM, telling me the door was unlocked, only to discover the push notification had been delayed by many hours. Overall, I’m thrilled with this lock!

The deadbolt lock feels sturdy and looks neat. The product can withstand rain and dust as it has IP 65 weatherproof rating. My use case is having one installed on the garage door so delivery guy can securely deliver package when I’m on holiday. This product is exactly the product for that purpose. Before getting one though, be sure that the product would fit your door. Product installation is easy and fast enough. The manual provides easy to understand, step-by-step and thorough instructions. It takes a simple screwdriver to install the product. The best thing is the deadbolt lock operates by a rechargeable battery so zero wiring is needed. The deadbolt lock connects to your home Wifi network, so you are always in the know how much battery is left on the lock, among other things. Once installed, you must calibrate the lock. I used existing old strike plate as the door was previously installed with normal deadbolt lock. It worked fine to lock and unlock the door and the whole process was smooth. However, the auto lock function did not work normally because of not using the new strike plate that came with the lock. If I set auto lock in the app, the lock would continue attempting to lock the door continuously, which was totally unnecessary because the door had already been locked. Another glitch due to not using Tapo’s strike plate was that unlocking by fingerprint did not work properly. It made the door to lock instead of unlocking as intended. It’s not a major problem for me because the digital keypad always works fine. But yeah, should have been using the new strike plate that comes with the product in the first place. The deadbolt lock works by fingerprint, app or the digital keypad. There’s also physical backup key to manually open the door and the lock works with Google Home and Alexa. The digital keypad is my favorite as it is very easy to use. The screen is bright enough in outdoor environment. It also has scramble feature, so people won’t be able to guess the combination. The combination can be easily changed through the Tapo app so it’s perfectly safe to give away the combination for one time use to the delivery guy. Also, fingerprint registration is easy enough and I can add the whole family to register without a problem. Also neat is that the app let you know who is using the lock and it even keeps a log of activities. Overall, this is definitely a solid product. Zero complaint from the rest of the family who use the door daily.

So far I have really been loving my new smart lock. I replaced my old keypad smart lock in about 10 minutes. I did spend about a half hour trying to carve out the tumbler in my door frame, but I chose to do that instead of leaving it with the old tumbler. But replacing the entire keypad and lock was only about 10 minutes. Once instaslled, setting up the lock with the Tapo app is incredibly easy. It asks you if you have the lock installed, if you don't it will walk you through it. If you have, then it recognizes the lock and you connect to your network. It does a quick calibration and you are ready to go. The lock itself works perfectly. It has never lost connectivity and it has worked every time I have used the smart features. I can lock and unlock via the app, via the number pad, or via finger print reader. You can also change the keypad to display numbers or dots for a pattern. This is very cool. You can also register several fingerprints. Please be mindful that if your door swells up or if it doesn't close tight, the automatic tumbler will jam. This is for any door and any lock, this is not a design flaw. The lock can also speak when it is locked and unlocked, but I disabled it. The doorbell is a super cool feature. I am using this for my back door so I don't need this as my main front door bell, which I have a smart video doorbell. It chimes loud enough to hear in the same room, but you wiil not hear it if you are in other parts of the house unless it is very quiet. I still think it is very cool. Overall, I have been thoroughly enjoying my new smart door lock. I have programmed everyone in my household's fingerprints and it has been working flawlessly. I highly recommend.

BACKGROUND: I currently own and use daily two Tapo products. A Tapo TC55 Smart Floodlight Camera and a Tapo TC73 Pan/Tilt AI Home Security Wi-Fi Camera. Both are configured with the Tapo “All-in-One Hub” Application. And this Tapo DL110 Deadbolt Lock is a welcomed addition to my current IoT Smart Home Technologies. My goal being to eventually replace all of my other non-TP-Link devices with Tapo devices. BOTTOM LINE: Once I completed the installation to my wife’s satisfaction, the TP-Link / Tapo DL110 functioned as described without issues. Since I was already familiar with the Tapo application, it was very easy for me to setup and configure using the app. Plus, it is simple to use this lock with or without the application. There are numerous methods to open and lock: Keys, Passcodes, Fingerprints, Application WiFi or BT, plus Voice Commands. And one can configure the app for “Auto-Close” after a few minutes. Must also mention the “Door Bell” button that covers the keyhole as a very smart design feature. If you are looking for a “smart deadbolt”, and are not currently committed to owning an array of other vendor’s technologies, then I highly recommend DL-110. RATING: This TP-Link - Tapo DL110 Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt Lock earned itself a solid 5-Star Rating for its functionality and numerous useful features. TL;DR INSTALLATION: My intention with this DL100 was to replace an existing deadbolt lock on our 35-year-old home. Although the “Interior & Exterior Assemblies” fit in the existing opening after removing the large spacer, the “Bolt” alignment was a tad off center, and it would not open/close smoothly with some binding. To resolve, I used my Dremel flex-shaft extension with a small sanding drum to finesse our wood door cut-out holes. That did the trick and rest of the mounting went quickly. DOORKNOB MODIFICATION: After the DL110 installation was completed, our existing doorknob was very close to the bottom of the DL110 assembly and now “recessed” in relationship to the much deeper DL110 protruding lock assembly. This made it difficult to grasp and turn the knob to open the door. And that made my wife less than satisfied with an ultimatum of “fix it or remove the lock”. To resolve, I had to fabricate a knob extension that would align our doorknob with the bottom of the DL110 assembly. I used a 2” PVC cap by Charlotte Pipe from Home Depot ($2.61). Cut a hole in the cap top to allow the knob to seat. Then used my bench grounder to lower depth to about 1-1/8th inch that matched up well with the bottom of the DL110. This mod also required longer knob mounting screws that I just happened to have in my “never throw anything away stash”. Sprayed the bezel extension with a few coats of black paint. Wife is now 100% satisfied, Happy Wife = Happy Life! See before and after pictures. The point of explaining this fabrication is to alert potential buyers that your current location of an existing doorknob and dead bolt may not be ideal when installing this, or any vendor’s, smart lock. And therefore, may require additional work arounds to meet expectations. I do not consider this the fault of the TP-Link but falls under the adage “Nothing is a 15-minute Job.” Note that Professional Installation should be considered if you are not of Handyman status and do not have the ability to think through problems for working solutions. NIT-PICK 1: I wish the interior locking assembly had a button to electronically lock and unlock the door in addition to the mechanical turn-lock. Not a showstopper, and I assume it was intentionally not included as a way to extent battery life. NIT-PICK 2: Advertised as “Quick & Easy Installation: Tapo DL110 boasts a hassle-free setup with all mounting tools included.” when no tools were included. (Now if you don’t already own a Phillips screwdriver, then you should not be attempting installation.)

Great looking set!! Also had never failed on the finger print use! Easy install about 10 minutes for us & easy ap set up. I love that it comes with physical keys!! People now a days take things for granted that technology will always work sonits nice to have an actual key just in case something happens!! My husband is not into any technology and was NOT thrilled when i showed him the lock but it took about 10 mins for us to install & it looks great. Id rather have a video camera than a doorbell but it doesnt bother me being there & is a great option for people who need a bell but cant or dont want to have the house one fixed or installed. It rings through the deadbolt setup but its still pretty loud. The key hole is also nicely places behind the doorbell button so you dont see it unless you pull the doorbell cap off and its attached with a bungee sonit wont get lost. You can use multiple functions we have the code set up as well as each of use have our own finger print. It has NEVER failed on any of us!! I was leary about getti g a lovk like this but this had 4.8 stars with hundreds of reviews. Even the other big brand lovks dont havr that and i always read how the finger print reader rarely worked. Not this set!!! It had a great price point even if its not on sale but i got it on sale. Easy to set up & install including the ap easy for even my husband and he runs out of patience for technology set up in 2 seconds and he thinks this lovk is the greatest thing aside from the color changing light bulbs we have from this company!! I also get notifications when the lovk is opened and relocked. It also talks so everytime you lovk and u lovk it tells you. That is annoying but i havent sat down to figure if i can mute that! On day my husband is off i dont want to wake him up using the door! Like other users said you cant use wifi & bluetooth at the same time. So you pick what you think is more functional. You can also use your watch or phone to unlock the lock as well. The finger print is so awesome we just use that but if your family orefers their own option you have them. The battery is supposed to last a year on the chRge but im guessing it depends on how much your going in & out and if you can mute the talking. We keep the key in the garage jn case of emergencies!! The best part of this lock…. when you get home & your hands are full and you forgot to dig your keys out of your purse. I dont use the key to start my car so its not like years ago where you just automatically have keeys in your hand… its definately worth it in every way!!!

The TP-Link Tapo DL110 Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt Lock is a really great smart lock, with both PIN code and fingerprint unlocking. It is super simple to set up and use, and provides the additional functionality of limited-use and one-time codes, which can be super helpful for guests and service workers. The main benefits of the Tapo DL110 are: • Super easy to set up • Rechargeable battery with long lifespan • Fits multiple door widths and setbacks • Extra functionality to add time-bound or temporary codes, and train multiple fingerprints for numerous users The drawbacks of the DL110 are few, but they exist: • Geo-fencing smart controls are fiddly and I couldn't get my desired control to work properly • Manual unlock keys are not compatible with Kwikset SmartKey system • Deadbolt is slightly thinner than average, meaning it needs the Tapo strike plate to be fully surrounded when set I replaced my existing battery-operated numerical keypad deadbolt with the Tapo DL110 Smart Wi-Fi Deadbolt, and it took about 15 minutes from start to finish. The whole process was extremely smooth, and the included hardware is high quality. The box contains everything you might need to mount the DL110 on multiple kinds of doors, based on the thickness of the door and the setback of the hole. I like the online instructions, paper guides, and stickers. Luckily, the DL110 fit exactly where my old deadbolt was, with no changes except un-screwing the old hardware and adding the new stuff in its place. During the process, I chose to keep my existing strike plate, because it extends along the full width of the jamb and provides some extra security. This was the only let down in the installation process, as the TP-Link deadbolt is slightly thinner than the full width of the opening on my strike plate. This isn't a big deal, but does mean that the door can move back and forth a bit when the deadbolt is set and someone pulls on the door handle. Setting up the new lock in the Tapo app was also extremely easy, and in no time I had added a new admin code and my fingerprint as unlock options. I was also able to add my wife and kids' fingerprints to the app as well, and it only took a few minutes. As I mentioned above, one other thing that I found less than ideal is the compatibility of the backup keys in the set. The TP-Link lock comes with two emergency backup keys, in case you ever need to open the door after the battery has gone dead. These keys are not compatible with the Kwikset SmartKey system, which I use on the rest of my doors to re-key the locks on the fly. If the TP-Link key had been compatible, I would have re-keyed my other locks to its shape and just been able to carry a single key for all my doors. As it is, the keys look more like the Schlage design, so maybe they would work better with that company's locks. The final bit of difficulty I had with the Tapo lock was setting up notifications. I work from home and spend a lot of time here with my family, so I really don't need to receive a ping on my phone whenever anyone locks or unlocks the door. What I *would* like is a way to say "only alert me if the door unlocks while I'm away from home." I tried setting up a Smart Action to do this in the app, but couldn't get it to work. My final word on the Tapo DL110 is that it is a great smart lock. Even though I spent a substantial amount of this review picking nits, I really do enjoy using the lock, and I think it's a very high-quality addition to my smart home setup.

I have installed and owned numerous Yale/August smart locks. Moved into a new house and trying to keep the spending somewhat under control looked around. I could get two of these for the price of a Yale Assure. I opted for a Yale Assure for front door, and put these on two other doors. I will say the install process was much simpler with the Tapo Locks and the app set up is a BREEZE. The only downside is that with two locks I would like to be able to have the fingerprints be shared between locks, instead I need to set up the fingerprints and codes on each device separately. Not a big issue but with a family of 5 have to go through it twice. The quality of the hardware is very solid. Has a premium Matt black finish. Also I love the doorbell - which you wouldn’t think you need but is a great add if someone locks themself out the back door…

We needed a new door lock and decided on this one because of price and features. By far the easiest smart home product i have ever set up. If you have ever done smart home stuff it sucks to set up and is buggy most times. This was so much easier. The app is simple and the lock connected to my wifi quickly. Install is like every other lock so its pretty simple. The finger print has worked really well and wuickly evey time ive used it. I was skeptical when i first baught it but it has impressed me so far.

For the price and quality of this product, it’s definitely worth it. I had someone install the lock for me, and setting this up was fairly straightforward. The fingerprint scan works like a charm. Had it for a month and no issue so far. Battery life seems to be durable, haven’t charged it once yet. Recommend.

Liked how easy it was to install and program. So far it works really well. I hooked it up to my alexa and that is super helpful if my phone isn't close to unlock and lock the door

Excellent product, works great with fingerprints. Very easy to install. Recommended.

Best lock I have ever had! The fingerprint function was great and it looks awesome. The app is great and easy to use
