Dorset DG 202 Wi-Fi Digital Door Lock

Overview

The Dorset DG 202 is a handle-type digital door lock for the main door of a flat, villa or home office. It is the Wi-Fi model in the Zest series of mortise locks, so as well as opening by fingerprint, card, PIN or key at the door, it lets you unlock for a visitor from your phone, send a guest a temporary code and see who came in and when. It stores up to 100 unique users across fingerprint, card and code.

Is it right for you?

• Suits a main door where you want to let people in remotely or hand out one-time codes, for example for deliveries, cleaners or guests.
• Fits a door 35 to 90 mm thick that can take a mortise lock body.
• Needs Wi-Fi coverage at the door for the app features; check the signal there before you order.
• If you want to see and talk to the visitor as well, the DG 204 adds a camera and intercom.
• If the door cannot be cut for a mortise, look at a rim lock such as the DG 902 instead.

Key features

• Five ways in: 360° fingerprint (works from any angle), radio-frequency identification (RFID) card, personal identification number (PIN), mechanical key and the Dorset Smart Life app over Wi-Fi.
• One-time password (OTP) access, so a guest gets a code that works once, and an audit trail of entries in the app.
• Dual authentication can require two credentials for one door, and admin control lets one person manage who has access.
• Anti-theft password: random digits can be added around the real code so an onlooker cannot copy it.
• Intrusion detection with an intrusion alarm, a fire detection alarm and a low battery alarm.
• Manual or auto locking, a privacy locking mode that blocks entry from outside, a notification bell and an emergency exit from inside.
• Drained battery quick fix: an external power source can be connected to get in when the batteries are flat.
• Outdoor and indoor body with a mortise lock, for doors 35 to 90 mm thick.

What else you need

A Wi-Fi network that reaches the door and a phone with the Dorset Smart Life app. Video door phone connectivity and home automation compatibility are optional: for a video door phone link, the 100 and 200 series use the VDP DG 200 module.

Installation

A door hardware or lock installer should fit it. The job involves cutting the door edge for the mortise lock body, fitting the outdoor and indoor units, then enrolling the admin user and connecting the lock to Wi-Fi in the app.

Software and licences

The Dorset Smart Life app handles mobile access, OTP codes and the entry log.
