App
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.4
The app was generally described as simple, easy, and user-friendly, with good access controls and setup flow.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.6
The Schlage app offers useful controls for modes, alarms, access, and remote operation. It was stable after connection, though setup and Apple Home pairing were frustrating for some reviewers.
Auto-lock
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
3.9
Auto-lock was praised for peace of mind and convenience, but multiple reviewers flagged limits around timing and open-door behavior.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.9
Auto-lock worked reliably and can be configured in either Apple Home or the Schlage app. Reviewers valued not having to remember to secure the door manually.
Auto-relock after failed attempts
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
2.5
Failed-attempt lockout drew criticism from one reviewer because the settings and behavior were not clearly adjustable or explained.
P2Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
No score yetBattery
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.1
Battery impressions were good overall but not exceptional, ranging from solid and efficient to fine but not incredible.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.2
Four AA batteries are easy to replace, Thread can extend runtime, and USB-C emergency power is a strong fallback. Some reviewers still preferred a rechargeable battery pack over replacing cells.
Build quality and durability
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.1
Most reviewers described the lock as solid, sturdy, or durable for the price, while one found the construction quality questionable.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.9
Reviewers consistently praise the all-metal construction, premium feel, and careful engineering. Even the most critical reviewer described it as a well-built, high-quality lock.
Door-sense
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
2.2
Door-sense was a clear weakness because reviewers noted there is no door sensor and the bolt can extend while the door is open.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
1.5
The lock lacks a door-sense feature that reports whether the door is open or closed. This is a clear disadvantage beside the Aqara U400.
Door compatibility (deadbolt fit)
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
2.8
One reviewer cautioned that very thick doors may require modification even though standard doors worked well.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
5.0
The flattened deadbolt fit one previously troublesome door without adjustment and locked cleanly. Fit feedback is positive but comes from limited direct testing.
Feature additions via updates
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
5.0
The 90-day follow-up praised Desloc for frequent firmware updates and meaningful improvements.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
3.3
Aliro promises broader Samsung and Google wallet support, but reviewers repeatedly noted that these benefits were not fully available at launch. The future roadmap is encouraging but should not be treated as a current feature.
Fingerprint
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.4
Fingerprint access was one of the most praised areas, with many fast and accurate reports, though PCWorld found it hit-and-miss.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
2.3
There is no fingerprint reader. Reviewers who regularly enter without a phone considered that a meaningful omission, while others accepted it in exchange for the smaller design.
Guest Codes and Access
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.6
Guest access was praised for one-pass, scheduled, IC-card, and Airbnb-style temporary access options.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.9
Up to 250 codes support family, guests, contractors, and other visitors without sharing one credential. Reviewers found guest access flexible and practical.
Hub requirement
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.7
Reviewers consistently liked that no separate hub or gateway is required.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
2.8
Basic Wi-Fi control does not require a hub, but Apple Home Key, UWB, and advanced Matter features need a compatible home hub. That adds cost and complexity for households without one.
Industrial design
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.3
Industrial design was praised as sleek, ergonomic, modern, and premium-looking rather than overly bulky.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.9
The slim, all-metal exterior is one of the strongest points, with a concealed keypad and discreet futuristic styling. Reviewers consistently preferred its compact look to bulkier UWB competitors.
Installation and Setup
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.3
Installation was usually described as quick and simple, but one reviewer had jammed bolts and another noted a short cord and over-tightening sensitivity.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
3.9
Physical installation is usually quick and straightforward, but software setup is inconsistent. Several reviewers paired it smoothly, while others needed repeated resets, Thread troubleshooting, or even a replacement unit.
Jam detection
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.0
One reviewer specifically reported no jamming during several days of testing.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
5.0
The deadbolt operates smoothly and cleanly without jamming, even on an older door where other locks may bind.
Key override reliability
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.4
Backup mechanical keys were valued as a practical fallback, especially for power loss.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
2.1
There is no physical keyway, which improves the clean design but removes a familiar emergency fallback. Reviewers were split between accepting the tradeoff and finding it risky when electronic access failed.
Keypad
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
3.7
Keypad impressions were mixed: PCMag found it responsive and well-lit, PCWorld found it slow to wake, and another liked the soft glow.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.2
The hidden keypad is fast, attractive, and useful for guests or phone-free entry. One defective unit failed to illuminate frequently, but its replacement worked reliably.
Lock/unlock speed
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.4
Speed was mostly positive for voice and remote response, though one reviewer found it fast but slower than pricier locks.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.9
Unlocking is generally exceptionally fast through UWB, Home Key, keypad, and app control. Multiple reviewers said the door was ready by the time they reached the handle.
Locking motor
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
3.5
Motor feel was mixed: one reviewer found it smooth and quiet, while another warned that over-tightening could make the bolt struggle.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
5.0
The motor moved the deadbolt smoothly and cleanly in an older door. Direct motor feedback is limited but strongly positive.
Locking reliability
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.7
Reliability was a strength across several reviews, with reports of perfect testing, stable 90-day use, and natural daily fit.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.3
Most reviewers found the lock fast, stable, and dependable after setup, including flawless daily UWB use in some homes. One reviewer experienced severe approach-unlock failures, and another needed a replacement unit before reliability improved.
Notifications
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
3.6
Notifications were useful for awareness and security, but one reviewer wanted push notifications instead of emergency emails that went to spam.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.7
The lock can report manual lock activity, low battery, and alarm events. Reviewers appreciated the broad status coverage and visible low-battery warnings.
On-device display
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.3
Reviewers repeatedly liked the small on-lock display, describing it as helpful for setup, status, battery, alerts, and local control, though one saw it as basic rather than groundbreaking.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.3
The keypad, light bar, and warnings appear only when needed, preserving the minimalist face. This looks polished, though the hidden controls can be less discoverable.
Physical attack resistance
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
3.8
Physical resistance evidence was moderate: reviewers cited BHMA certification and durability, but one emphasized it is the lowest acceptable commercial level.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.7
The all-metal build, higher BHMA rating, and removal of the pickable key cylinder inspired confidence. Reviewers generally viewed the physical security design as a strength.
Pick/drill resistance (if rated)
P1Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
No score yet
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
5.0
The keyless exterior removes the traditional cylinder targeted by picking and bumping, although drill resistance was not tested.
Remote access
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.6
Remote access was a major convenience, especially for managing the lock away from home or unlocking for guests.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.7
Remote locking, unlocking, and digital visitor access were considered highly useful. Built-in Wi-Fi allows these functions without a separate lock-specific bridge.
Security features (encryption)
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.3
Security features such as anti-peeping and anti-hijacking were viewed as useful or reassuring, with PCMag also noting enhanced security options.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
5.0
UWB uses a direct device handshake with protections against eavesdropping, tampering, and relay attacks. The technical security design received strong marks.
Smart-home integration (Alexa, Google, Siri, HomeKit, Matter, Thread)
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
2.8
Smart-home integration was the main limitation: Alexa and Google were supported, but reviewers missed HomeKit, Matter, IFTTT, or broader security-system support.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.0
Apple Home, Home Key, Matter over Thread, and built-in Wi-Fi create a strong integration package for iPhone households. Android and cross-wallet support depended on later Aliro updates during the review period.
Touchscreen
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.5
The touch surface/keypad was praised as responsive, well lit, and visually integrated into the front panel.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.3
The disappearing touch panel looks advanced and keeps the exterior clean. Its minimal presentation can make operation less obvious to first-time users.
User access management
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.5
User access management was a strong point, with praise for simple schedules, temporary codes, and control over different users.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
5.0
Apple Home and Schlage controls make it easy to create temporary PINs, scheduled access, and digital keys. Reviewers especially valued flexible access for visitors and neighbors.
Value and Price
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.4
Value was the broadest strength because most reviewers saw a lot of features for the price, although PCWorld rejected the value claim after testing.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
2.4
At roughly $400, the lock is among the most expensive residential smart locks reviewed. Enthusiasts may accept the premium for design and UWB speed, but several reviewers considered the price difficult to justify.
Wi-Fi
P1
Product 1: Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock
4.6
Built-in Wi-Fi was praised for direct connectivity and remote use, and one follow-up noted updates that improved Wi-Fi stability and power use.
P2
Product 2: Schlage Sense Pro
4.6
Built-in Wi-Fi provides direct remote connectivity and useful backup alongside Matter over Thread. Reviewers viewed this as an advantage over locks that require a separate hub for out-of-home control.
