DESLOC Smart Lock K140 Plus

Solid lock! Came from Schlage Encode Plus WiFi, which broke down twice on me in two years. Loving the palm reader.

I have tried a few smart locks over the years, but this DESLOC K140 Plus definitely feels like a step up in terms of both technology and convenience. The standout feature is the palm vein recognition, which honestly feels like something out of a futuristic movie. Instead of fingerprints, it reads the vein pattern in your palm, which is much harder to duplicate and makes the whole unlocking process feel very secure. It works quickly and consistently once set up, and it is surprisingly easy to get used to just placing your hand over the sensor instead of digging for keys. I also like that this lock gives you several different ways to unlock the door including the keypad, the app, voice control, and even a traditional key if you ever need it. That flexibility is really nice because different members of the household can use whatever method they prefer. Installation was straightforward since it replaces a standard deadbolt, and most homeowners should be able to handle it with basic tools. The door sensor auto lock feature is another thing I appreciate because it can automatically lock after the door fully closes, which takes away that moment of wondering if you remembered to lock up when leaving the house. The rechargeable battery is a great touch too since it can last many months on a charge, and the low battery alerts help prevent surprises. There is even a Type C emergency power option if the battery ever gets too low, which adds another layer of reassurance. Overall this is a very modern feeling smart lock that combines strong security with everyday convenience, and it has been a great upgrade for a front door!

Upgraded my front door with the K140 Plus, and it's the most capable lock I've put on a house. The palm vein recognition is the real standout — you hover your hand near the sensor and the door unlocks almost instantly. No touching, no pressing, no fumbling. Having used fingerprint locks before where dry or dirty hands cause repeated failures, the palm vein reader is a genuine step up. It worked every single time out of the gate.Installation took about 15 minutes with basic tools — it replaces a standard deadbolt and auto-detects left or right hand door orientation, which removes the guesswork. Setup through the app is straightforward, and built-in Wi-Fi means no extra hub or bridge sitting on a shelf. The hidden keypad only lights up when needed, which keeps the front door looking clean and minimal. In Georgia's heat and rain, the IP65 rating gives real peace of mind that the weather won't cause problems over time.The 10,000mAh rechargeable battery delivering 9 months of typical use is genuinely impressive — no swapping out AA batteries every few months. Auto-lock triggered by the magnetic door sensor is smarter than timer-based locks because it only engages once the door is actually confirmed closed. Five ways to get in — palm vein, keypad, app, voice, and mechanical key backup — means no one in the household ever gets locked out. Biometric data stays encrypted on the lock itself and never hits the cloud, which matters.Full five stars — this lock delivers on every promise it makes.

Palm recognition is the way to go to unlock the door. I have not missed carrying a set of keys at all. I'm not fumbling for my key, or worse, dropping them with my hands full. Even typing in the code is much easier than a key. This has been great for setting up our multi-user house. We have been able to successfully set up our family of four, both of our parents, my sister, BIL, and her two kids. We are in and out of each other's houses all the time, so no one needs to remember a key or worry about losing one. Our parents are getting older and my mother is always misplacing her keys, so this lock is an amazing solution. It was easy to install, but do read the instructions fully before doing the install, especially when starting the unit up for the first time. There are some initial boot directions to get the lock to calibrate properly and set up the administrator password and account. I like that I can configure it to auto lock after a certain time frame, so when someone forgets to lock the door, it does it for them. I can monitor who has come and gone and when on the app. This is weatherproof, but we installed it on a door with a textured surface, so we made sure to use silicone to seal the gasket on the exterior unit so water wouldn't be driven into the small gaps created by the textured surface. Using a silicone bead to seal the exterior gasket on a smooth door is still a good idea. We live in the hurricane prone southeast and have bad tropical storms and severe thunderstorms that all drive rain in all kinds of directions with great force. So the silicone is a preventative measure. This lock is a great way to service our large family and make sure to secure our home. It is well made, easy to install and set up, easy to add users, and has worked perfectly for us, so we bought another one for my parent's home. This way, my mother and father will always be able to get in even if they misplace their keys. Its auto-lock feature makes sure that their home is always secure.

I am genuinely impressed with the DESLOC Smart Lock K140 Plus. From the moment I opened the box, it was clear this was a high quality product. Everything felt sturdy, well made, and thoughtfully designed. The installation process was surprisingly simple. The instructions were clear, detailed, and easy to follow, which made putting it together and installing it on our front door quick and stress free.One of the standout features is the palm vein recognition. It feels incredibly modern and works wonderfully. It recognizes quickly and unlocks the door smoothly, making it both convenient and secure. The keypad is responsive and easy to use, and I love having multiple ways to unlock the door including the app, keypad, palm recognition, and the mechanical key backup for peace of mind.The mobile app is another highlight. It is very user friendly and easy to manage. Setting up access, adjusting settings, and monitoring the lock is simple and straightforward. Everything connects smoothly and works exactly as it should without any frustrating setup issues.Beyond functionality, the lock also looks fantastic. The sleek black finish gives our front door a modern, high end look and blends perfectly with the rest of our hardware. It feels durable and built to last, which is exactly what you want in a smart lock.Overall, this smart lock exceeded my expectations in every way. Easy installation, excellent build quality, reliable performance, and a simple to manage app make this a fantastic upgrade for any home.
