DESLOC’s C100 deadbolt focuses on simplifying access without a smart home hub. Its standout feature is the 0.96-inch LockVue display built directly into the exterior keypad. This screen shows you battery life, confirms code entries, and lets you manage all 100 user codes right at the door. You’re not digging through an app to give your neighbor a temporary PIN.

In daily use, the automatic lock function is reliable. The bolt engages seconds after the door closes. The IP54 rating means the keypad shrugs off rain or splashes, a practical detail for a front door. We found the 12-month battery estimate to be accurate with regular use. Installation is straightforward, using the same holes as a standard deadbolt for most doors.

The BHMA Grade 3 certification means it’s a solid residential lock, not a commercial-grade fortress. That’s appropriate for most homes. The two physical keys are a smart backup, but the lack of smart connectivity is a clear boundary. This is a keyless lock, not a smart lock. It excels at replacing keys with codes, nothing more.
