DALTU Door: frequently asked questions
Clear answers about the first robotic door, for Melbourne and Sydney apartments.
By the DALTU Team
What is the DALTU Door?
It’s a complete robotic front door: an 80 mm steel door leaf, a steel frame anchored to the wall and four stainless steel bolts. From the corridor there’s no handle, no cylinder and no visible lock. It opens by itself when it recognises you and locks, bolts thrown, when you leave.
How do I get in?
The access column reads your face in 3D, so a photo can’t fool it, and it recognises your phone or watch as you walk up. The app lets you open the door remotely and see and talk to whoever is there, wherever you are. You can send guest digital keys to anyone you choose, and a mechanical handle always opens the door from inside.
What happens in a blackout or if the internet drops out?
The door has its own battery and keeps working in a power outage. It decides instantly, even offline, and connects over Wi-Fi with 4G backup, so it still alerts you if the home internet drops.
How secure is it?
No cylinder to snap, no lock to drill and no exposed hinges. The door only opens inwards, its four 16 mm bolts shoot into a steel frame fixed with 10 M12 wall anchors, and three anti-pry pins protect the hinge side. RC3 under EN 1627 is in testing, not yet certified.
What finishes can I choose?
Four real oak veneers: White, Natural oak, Smoked oak and Black, each with four lines of brushed stainless steel and a graphite frame. For another wood, size or finish, send your architect’s drawing and we’ll quote a made-to-measure door within 24 hours.
How is it installed?
A certified installer replaces your door in a single visit, with no building work in the corridor or inside your unit. Installation is free with a pre-order, and we take away your old door and set up the app and face enrolment for your household.
How much does it cost?
The pre-sale price is A$8,778, GST included, for a standard opening, with installation free when you pre-order. Other sizes or a recessed power line are quoted separately.
When will it be delivered?
First deliveries are planned for spring 2027. Doors are reserved in order of arrival, and we’ll be in touch with your delivery and installation date before deliveries begin.
Do you take commercial orders?
Yes. Developers, builders and investors get volume pricing from 10 doors, staged delivery coordinated with the site and one technical contact. Send the location, number of doors and dates and we’ll reply within 24 hours.
Do I pay anything to pre-order?
No, nothing to pay now. We’re launching the DALTU Door on Kickstarter, and pre-order holders get an invite before the public launch. Your pre-sale price and free installation are kept for you on the campaign.
