P2
Product 2: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.1
Activity history is commonly available via an events or logs view showing locks and unlocks, though at least one review noted failed attempts may not always be logged unless a lockout triggers.
App
P1
Product 1: Kwikset Halo Touch Fingerprint Smart...
3.7
The app is easy to understand and includes lock control, people management, and history. Multiple reviews criticize lag or limited polish, while others report quick response and straightforward setup including firmware updates.
P2
Product 2: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock

Auto-lock
P1
Product 1: Kwikset Halo Touch Fingerprint Smart...
3.4
Auto-lock is configurable and often works as intended, but several reviewers warn it can be risky without door sensing because the bolt may extend while the door is still open. No true proximity auto-unlock is described in the review set; entry is manual via fingerprint, app, voice assistant, or key.
P2
Product 2: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
3.7
Auto-lock is available with a short delay range (often cited as 5 to 120 seconds) and works as intended for many users, but its time-based nature and limited delay range drew criticism in a few reviews.
Auto-relock after failed attempts
P1
Product 1: Kwikset Halo Touch Fingerprint Smart...
1.0
Reviews that tested repeated failed fingerprints did not observe a meaningful lockout by default, and failed attempts were not consistently logged or surfaced as alerts.
P2
Product 2: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
3.8
Failed-attempt protection can trigger a temporary lockout after repeated wrong codes, and at least one review described adjustable thresholds, though another noted limited transparency or controls.
Backset compatibility
P1
Product 1: Kwikset Halo Touch Fingerprint Smart...

Door-sense
P1
Product 1: Kwikset Halo Touch Fingerprint Smart...
1.0
Multiple reviews emphasize the lack of a door-open sensor. The lock can report locked or unlocked status, but it cannot confirm whether the door is actually shut.
P2
Product 2: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
1.5
Reviews repeatedly note the lack of a true door sensor, meaning auto-lock can extend the bolt even if the door is open, which can be inconvenient and potentially hard on door trim.
Door compatibility (deadbolt fit)
P1
Product 1: Kwikset Halo Touch Fingerprint Smart...
2.5
Compatibility is mostly standard for deadbolt doors, but reviews disagree at the thin end: one installer struggled on a 1-3/8 inch door, while another warns against doors under 1-3/4 inches.
P2
Product 2: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.0
Fits standard US deadbolt prep in most cases, including common door thickness ranges, but one reviewer noted it is less ideal for very thick doors without modification.
Existing hardware reuse
P1
Product 1: Kwikset Halo Touch Fingerprint Smart...
2.0
It is generally treated as a full deadbolt replacement rather than a retrofit that reuses existing exterior hardware, which some reviewers consider a downside versus modular designs.
P2
Product 2: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
3.5
This is a full deadbolt replacement, so you generally swap existing hardware; one reviewer chose to reuse a preferred deadbolt piece, but reuse options are limited versus retrofit-style locks.
