DALTU Door: frequently asked questions
Plain answers about the first robotic door, for London flats.
By the DALTU Team
What is the DALTU Door?
It is 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 landing there is 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 in the frame reads your face in 3D, so a photo can’t fool it, and it recognises your phone or watch as you approach. From the app you can open the door remotely and see and talk to visitors from anywhere. You can send guest digital keys to the people you choose, and a mechanical handle always opens the door from inside.
What happens in a power cut or if the internet goes down?
The door has its own battery, so it keeps working in a power cut. It decides instantly, even offline, and stays connected over Wi-Fi with 4G backup, so it can still alert you if the home internet drops.
How secure is it?
There is no cylinder to snap, no lock to drill and no exposed hinges. The door only opens inwards, the four 16 mm bolts shoot into a steel frame held by 10 M12 wall anchors, and three anti-pry pins guard the hinge side. RC3 under EN 1627 is in testing and the door is not yet certified.
Which finishes are available?
Four real oak veneers: White, Natural oak, Smoked oak and Black, with four lines of brushed stainless steel and a graphite frame. For a different wood, size or finish, send us your architect’s drawing and we’ll quote a made-to-measure door within 24 hours.
How is it fitted?
A certified installer replaces your door in a single visit, with no building work on the landing or inside your flat. Fitting is free with a pre-order, your old door is taken away, and set-up, the app and face enrolment for your household are included.
How much does it cost?
The pre-sale price is £3,924, VAT included, for a standard opening, with fitting free when you pre-order. Other sizes or a recessed power line are quoted separately.
When will it arrive?
First deliveries are planned for autumn 2027. Doors are reserved in order of arrival, and we’ll be in touch with your delivery and fitting date before deliveries begin.
Do you handle commercial orders?
Yes. Developers, contractors and investors get volume pricing from 10 doors, phased delivery coordinated with the site and a single technical contact. Tell us the location, number of doors and dates and we reply within 24 hours.
Do I pay anything to pre-order?
No, there is 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 fitting are kept for you on the campaign.
