  As the reviews stated, installing the deadbolt yourself is simple but expect some bumps along the road if your door slots are uneven lol. Besides that, enjoy easy access into your home without the worries of having your keys. It also has an auto-lock timer and an app to operate the deadbolt. And lastly for safety, if the batteries die and you can’t get in, keep a spare in a lockbox outside the door.

  I picked up the TP Link DL100 Tapo Door Lock to replace an existing smart lock for my basement exterior door. This review is based on a week of use and the improvements observed over previous generations of smart locks. TLDR - Great smart lock, I highly recommend over one with a screen and/or fingerprint sensor for outdoor use. Easy to install, easy to use, multiple methods to unlock. Pros:  Installation is easy Unlock with key, door code, app, Bluetooth, or voice App is easy to use, pin creation and management is quick and straightforward Integration with Kasa (TP Link) smart light switches Integration with camera, vacuums, and voice assistant for full smart home automation Physical keys as backup if you let the batteries die Cons: Relies on 4x"AA" batteries, means you'll need to remember to change them periodically Wiring routing channel doesn't take up the full amount of the wiring connector, feels like you could pinch it when installing the back (internal) side In the box is the door lock, mounting plate, bold, striker plate, batteries, installation hardware, keys, and a quick start guide. If you already have an existing door lock and separate deadbolt, this should be easy to set up. Make sure to measure first and ensure the door thickness, and distance from edge of door will work with the lock.  I installed this to replace an existing smart lock, so it was a straight forward plug and play. I didn't have to change the strike plate or make any adjustments to the existing holes.  To install, once you have removed the old hardware, run the bolt, and set the keypad side against the door, though the bolt. There are included guides to ensure the correct alignment and spacing, but you can also eyeball it, which is what I did. After the bolt and keypad are installed, run the connector wire through the interior side mounting plate, use the 2 included screws to mount the plate into the exterior keypad side of the lock. Note that I didn't love the wiring relief channel, it felt like I was going to pinch the wires, but ultimately it went together and I didn't see any pinches or twists to the connector cable. Lastly, plug in connector to the interior side, match up to the mounting plate, secure in place with the included screws, and install the batteries. If you need to change the strike plate, this is the time to do it, ensuring the lock mates up correctly.  Once physically installed, download the Tapo app. I already had the Kasa app for TP light switches, unfortunately it's not backwards compatible, so I had to install the app. The nice thing is that Tapo was quick and easy to find the smart lock and run through setup. It also pulled in my existing Kasa switches, so no additional setup was required. I am running my setup from wifi, but you can also use Bluetooth, or home automation with an assistant device, depending on need. One thing I do love is that this lock does not require a nearby wireless dongle (and therefore power outlet), which was a requirement on my older style smart lock.  Features that make this 5/5 stars are that the physical keypad buttons are easy, you can set your pin through the app, as well as share the app and admin controls with others. The app allows for a quick tap to create a one time pin, good for house sitters, maintenance, etc. You can also schedule when to accept both the routine pin as well as the temporary pin. This is a great peace of mind feature that no one can access overnight or when away, if you set the schedule as such. There is also an event log, you can see who locked the door, what pin was used, and if it was a manual lock or app controlled. The app will also show status, battery life, allow you to create automation / shortcuts, and see the status of all integrated devices, pending need.   Bottom line, I love the features, ease of install, and how much better this works over my older smart lock. The keypad itself feels rugged and that it will withstand exterior conditions. The app gives me peace of mind while being easy to use, add / change pins, monitor access, and provide automation. I also appreciate the integration with Kasa, as these are my favorite switches, and the seamless import of those lights was an added bonus.

  Great smart deadbolt lock. It came in a small box with everything you need to install it. One thing I would recommend is check their website first to see if it will fit your door, they have some compatibility measurements there. It came with the keypad (backlit), the lock and the inside mechanism. They also include 4 AA batteries to use it (I think this is great, as custom, rechargeable batteries seem more convenient, but if they fail or die you have to buy them, being AA batteries you can buy a bunch cheap or, like me, have rechargeable ones on the go). Installing it was easy, they include a some inserts to measure up your door hole and see where is going to fit exactly. Mine was the 60mm one and fit perfectly. First I removed my existing one and I was ready to go. The instructions booklet is super clear and easy to understand. I had the lock installed in about 30 mins (with some breaks here and there). Inserted the batteries and then went through the setup in their TAPO app. You must use it to fully customize the lock. The app has many features. You can assign different PINs (for family members in example) and you can have a "masked" one, like it has more numbers than your real PIN, this is for when, lets say you have someone next to you peeking in trying to see your PIN, they will see more numbers than it really is. You can have the app auto lock it if there are several wrong PIN attempts. Of course, you can also enable the lock through your Wifi network for better control and management. You can lock/unlock it that way via the app or also via bluetooth (you have to be close by). You can also use voice+Pin. If all that fails or if your batteries are dead they also include two physical keys. By the way, if you don't have any spare batteries around and it dies, it also has a type C port where you can attach a power bank to power it up temporarily. If you have it enabled through your network you can use the app to set it to auto lock after certain amount of time. The keypad is backlit so you can see it a night and it also has a doorbell button so it it can ring your doorbell (if you don't have doorbell already or maybe have both). The only con I see is that it doesn't have any biometric way to unlock (like a fingerprint reader), however some people may prefer this, just pointing that out. It feels very sturdy (at least even better than my original "dumb" one). If you want an inexpensive secure and easy to use smart lock, this is it!
