Desloc D110 Plus Smart Lock Review
Bottom Line
Choose the Desloc D110 Plus for a budget smart lock with fast fingerprint access, built-in Wi-Fi, and flexible codes. Skip it if you need Matter/HomeKit support, a door sensor, or more polished hardware.
Best for
Best for budget-focused homeowners, renters, families, and Airbnb hosts who want fingerprint, PIN, app, key-card, temporary-code, and direct Wi-Fi access without a hub.
Not for
Not for Apple HomeKit or Matter users, people who need deep security-system integration, very thick-door installs, or auto-lock tied to an actual door sensor.
Verdict
The Desloc D110 Plus earns its strongest marks as a feature-heavy budget smart lock: reviewers repeatedly praised its fingerprint access, app controls, built-in Wi-Fi, flexible user management, and on-device display. Setup was often described as easy, and several reviewers found the lock reliable in daily use. The tradeoff is polish. One reviewer had a rough installation experience, another found the keypad and fingerprint reader inconsistent, and multiple reviewers noted limited ecosystem support compared with broader smart-home locks. The missing door sensor also makes auto-lock less foolproof, because the bolt can extend while the door is open. Overall, the review evidence points to a capable value lock with strong everyday convenience, but not the deepest integrations or most refined hardware.
