DESLOC D110 Plus Smart Lock Review

Security

DESLOC rates the D110 Plus as a BHMA Grade 3 lock. That places it in the same reality check many homes use for everyday security needs: solid, not invincible. For a smart deadbolt, Grade 3 is a meaningful baseline. It should hold up better than lighter-duty smart locks if someone tries repeated force or simple tampering.

Build decisions matter with lock attacks. This is a deadbolt style lock, not a latch-only design. The D110 Plus also supports multiple ways to open it. That matters because real security is also about access control. If one credential fails, you do not switch to insecure shortcuts.

At the same time, security is never only about rating. This model uses unlock methods that include App access, a keypad, a fingerprint sensor, voice control with Alexa and Google Assistant, and a physical key. With that many paths, you want your habits to match your risk. The pillar score for Security is 7.6, mapped to the phrase "Sturdy build, strong defenses." It is a secure-minded design, but not a set-and-forget system. You still need to manage codes and access sharing carefully.

Reliability

The D110 Plus targets low-friction use through redundancy. It runs on Battery + Hardwired power, and the battery life rating is up to 6 months of reliable use. That combination is the difference between a smart lock that keeps working and one that eventually becomes a problem. Hardwired backup reduces lockout risk when batteries die. The lock also supports a keypad, fingerprint, and physical key if the phone or network acts up.

In reliability terms, the daily question is whether commands land correctly and on time. This model uses built-in Wi-Fi, and it ties into voice control through Alexa and Google Assistant. Those are practical tools for remote actions. When connectivity is stable, multi-method entry tends to reduce the feeling of being locked out.

Still, reliability is not just about having backups. It is about the lock reacting in the moment. The D110 Plus scores 7.1 for Reliability, which fits "Consistently dependable daily." Expect it to work most of the time for the typical family routine, but you should be ready to rely on more than one unlock method when conditions are not ideal.

Usability

Usability starts at the door. This lock includes a fingerprint sensor and a touchscreen keypad. It also supports the DESLOC app and a physical key. That means most people get a fast primary method and a clear fallback. Fingerprint unlocking can reduce key hunting. Keypad entry helps for guests, cleaning staff, and anyone who should not have a phone.

Shared access is a major usability factor. This model includes a note in its cons: short code expiration. That is a real trade-off. Timed codes can be safer than codes that never expire, but they also add overhead. You may need to renew guest codes more often than you would with longer windows. The lock also supports App unlock, so code management likely happens through the app flow, which makes the expiration detail more than just a spec line.

With a usability score of 7.7, the D110 Plus maps to "Simple, intuitive access." The multi-method setup keeps it approachable for households with different needs. The main usability friction is managing that short code expiration window, especially if you host guests often.

Connectivity

The D110 Plus uses built-in Wi-Fi with support for 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. That matters because 2.4GHz networks tend to travel farther through walls. It also reduces the chance you need a dedicated network just for the lock. Connectivity also supports Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control, which means remote actions can fit naturally into existing smart-home routines.

For remote use, Wi-Fi locks succeed when they respond quickly and accurately. The D110 Plus is designed for remote control via the DESLOC app. It also has voice control paths through Alexa and Google Assistant, which can act as a second remote route when you do not want to open the app.

Your results still depend on your home network. The connectivity pillar score is 7.4, mapped to "Reliable connection, quick control." It is a practical setup for most Wi-Fi-first homes, but you will notice faster response when the lock and router stay within a stable, well-covered area.

Value

The value story here is about strong basics with fewer compromises than many smart locks. The D110 Plus is a deadbolt with BHMA Grade 3 compliance. It includes multiple unlock methods: App, keypad, fingerprint, voice through Alexa and Google Assistant, and a backup key. It also lists battery life up to 6 months, plus the Battery + Hardwired power design, which directly targets lockout risk.

The cons point to the two places where value can feel less clean. First, short code expiration means you may spend more time managing guest access. Second, the cons include "Basic build feel." That is the kind of drawback you can feel during daily handling, even if it does not immediately affect performance.

With a value pillar score of 8.4, the D110 Plus fits "Worth every penny." The trade-offs are specific and manageable. If you want a Grade 3 deadbolt that supports fingerprint, keypad, app control, and voice assistant integration, this lock makes sense as a dependable daily driver, as long as you do not ignore the guest code expiration part of the routine.
