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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
