We tested 7 smart locks under $100 to find the best budget-friendly keyless entry solutions. The Tapo DL110 leads with BHMA Grade 2 certification and a 1-year battery life.
The Tapo DL110 delivers professional-grade security at a sub-$100 price point. Its BHMA Grade 2 certification—the highest rating in this roundup—means it withstands 400,000 cycles and 10 door strikes. The 1-year rechargeable battery eliminates monthly charging hassles, while fingerprint recognition and touchscreen keypad provide dual entry options. In-app monitoring with scheduled access gives you enterprise-level control over who enters and when.
What separates the DL110 from budget competitors is its robust construction and Tapo ecosystem integration. Unlike locks that require separate hubs, built-in WiFi connects directly to your router for reliable remote access. The scheduled access feature lets you grant temporary codes to guests, contractors, or service providers without compromising your master credentials. For renters and homeowners seeking maximum security without premium pricing, this is your lock.
The Tapo DL110 is the clear winner, delivering BHMA Grade 2 security and 1-year battery life that outperforms locks costing twice as much. Its scheduled access and in-app monitoring provide premium features without the premium price tag.
Renters should choose the August Home retrofit model for non-permanent installation. Budget-conscious buyers needing a complete handle set should grab the Philips WiFi Keypad bundle. Everyone else will get maximum value from the Tapo DL110.
