Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Tapo DL105 work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. The DL105 operates via Bluetooth 5.0 and works fully offline for fingerprint, PIN, RFID card, and physical key access without any Wi-Fi or internet connection. Remote access and control via the Tapo app when you’re away from home requires the Tapo H200 Smart Hub (sold separately) connected to your home Wi-Fi.
Is the Tapo DL105 compatible with Australian door preparations?
Yes. The DL105 supports door thicknesses of 35–100 mm and an adjustable backset of 60 mm or 70 mm, covering the most common Australian residential door preparations. It is designed to replace standard deadbolts without requiring additional drilling in most cases. Always measure your existing door preparation before purchasing.
How do I let in a guest or tradie when I’m not home?
You can create a temporary or scheduled PIN code in the Tapo app and share it with your guest or tradie. The code can be set to expire automatically after a specific date and time, or after a single use, so you don’t need to worry about revoking access manually afterwards.
What happens if the battery runs out?
The Tapo app sends low battery alerts well in advance. If the battery is fully depleted, the DL105 features a USB-C emergency power port on the exterior of the lock. Holding a USB-C power bank against this port provides enough temporary power to unlock the door and replace the batteries.
Can I still use a physical key with the DL105?
Yes. The DL105 includes a physical key cylinder and two keys as a backup unlock method. This ensures you always have a mechanical fallback option regardless of battery level, connectivity, or app availability.
Does the DL105 lock automatically?
Yes. The auto-lock feature can be enabled and configured in the Tapo app to automatically lock the door after a delay of your choosing (typically 10 seconds to several minutes) after it has been unlocked. This ensures the door is never accidentally left unlocked.
