The first robotic door · Cape Town · Johannesburg

We reinvented the door.

No handle, no keyhole, no keys on the outside. It opens by itself when you arrive, locks with the bolts thrown when you leave, and keeps working through load shedding on its own battery.

80 mm steel leaf · 16 mm bolts

There’s nothing to open from outside. So there’s nothing to force.

From outside, the door is a plain wooden surface: no handle, no cylinder, no visible lock. It recognises you, and only you.

  1. You arrive

    It opens by itself

    Hold your phone or card to the ring and the door swings inwards. Hands full, shopping, a child on your hip.

  2. You go in

    It shuts and throws the bolts

    Once you’re through, the door closes itself, checks it is properly shut and throws the four steel bolts.

  3. You leave

    It tells your phone

    As you walk away the door stays locked and confirms it. No more wondering whether you locked up.

A security door with nothing to grip.

No cylinder to snap, no lock to drill, no hinges on show. The leaf only opens inwards and the bolts shoot into a steel frame anchored to the wall.

The brain of the first robotic door.

Hidden in the frame head, above the door. It works with the access column in the frame.

Sees you coming
A radar senses someone approaching and wakes the door before you knock.
Biometric recognition
Your face in 3D, read from the access column. A photo can't fool it.
AI in the door
Decides instantly, even offline. Images never leave for the cloud.
Works with your home apps
Compatible with Apple Home, Google Home and Alexa. Key in your phone's wallet.
Video intercom on your phone
See and talk to whoever is at the door, wherever you are.
Always connected
Wi-Fi with 4G backup: it alerts you even if the home internet drops.
Designed by DALTU, end to end
Our own boards, firmware and app. EAL6+ certified security chip, secure boot and signed updates.

The video intercom, built into the frame.

A 24 mm black line beside the edge of the door. It is the brain's eyes, ears and voice.

Video intercom on your phone
Wide-angle camera with night vision, a speaker and two microphones. See and talk to visitors from anywhere.
3D face recognition
A depth camera reads your face in relief. A photo can't fool it.
Opens without taking out your phone
Recognises your phone or watch as you approach, over Bluetooth and ultra-wideband (UWB).
Touch ring with light
Touch it to call. The light tells you it has recognised you.
Glass that never fogs
Heated and always clear, whatever the weather.
Designed by DALTU, end to end
Our own boards, firmware and app, with encrypted links to the brain.

Closed DALTU door seen from inside the flat

The same oak. And a handle that always opens.

Inside, the same oak you see from outside. Three things that matter when you’re at home.

Touch ring
A status light shows whether the door is open or closed. Touch it to open or close.
Mechanical escape handle
A mechanical handle always opens the door from the inside.
Presence sensor
If anyone is in the path of the leaf, the door stops.

Four woods. The same lines.

Real oak veneer, four lines of brushed stainless steel. The frame is always graphite.
