Häfele Genesis DL8800 Smart Lock - Coogee Lever - Black
The Häfele Genesis DL8800 is a multi-credential smart lock built on an Australian mortice lock platform. It provides five access methods — touchscreen PIN code, RFID card or tag, fingerprint biometrics, mobile app control, and mechanical key override — and is certified to Australian fire door, lockset, and accessibility standards.
The DL8800 operates on Häfele's Smart Living App platform (available on iOS and Android), providing user management, access history, timed PIN codes, and remote unlock capability. Remote access and app management features require pairing with the Häfele Zigbee Gateway (Cat. No. 985.03.006, sold separately). Without a gateway, the lock operates fully via its onboard access methods.
The body is constructed from stainless steel with forged steel front and back plates and is factory tested to AS4145.2 (Australian standard for locksets and door hardware). An Australian-profile oval cylinder is included, with master keying options available to suit site keying systems.
The Häfele Genesis DL8800 is tested and certified for use on AU/NZ rated fire doors. Certified for E-Core and Firecore door systems. Pyropanel certification is pending. Tested to AS1530.4 (Fire resistance in construction).

Battery, Power & Backup Access
- Powered by 4 x AA alkaline batteries, included in the complete lock kit.
- Low battery warning is provided via the lock's voice, tone, and LED indicators before batteries are fully depleted.

Remote App Access (Optional – Zigbee Gateway Required)
The DL8800 communicates using Zigbee wireless protocol. Remote access features — including remote unlock from anywhere in the world, timed PIN codes, access authorisation management, and access history review — are only available when the lock is paired with the Häfele Zigbee Gateway (Cat. No. 985.03.006, sold separately). The gateway connects to your home or office Wi-Fi network and bridges the lock to the Häfele Smart Living App.
Without a gateway, the lock operates fully as a standalone unit using its onboard access methods: touchscreen PIN, fingerprint, RFID card/tag, and mechanical key.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DL8800 connect directly to my home Wi-Fi?
No. The lock communicates using Zigbee protocol. To access remote features via the Häfele Smart Living App, the lock must be paired with the Häfele Zigbee Gateway (Cat. 985.03.006, sold separately). The gateway connects to your Wi-Fi network and bridges the lock to the internet.
Is the DL8800 suitable for fire-rated doors?
Yes. The DL8800 is tested and certified to AS1530.4 for use on AU/NZ fire-rated door assemblies. It is certified for E-Core and Firecore door systems. Pyropanel certification was pending at the time of publication — confirm current status with Häfele Australia before specifying for Pyropanel assemblies.
Can this lock be integrated into a master keying system?
Yes. Order the No Cyl Lock Kit (912.20.787) and pair it with either the MK C4 Oval 570 Cylinder (911.75.222) for C4 master keying, or the MK Restricted Oval 570 Cylinder (911.75.226) for restricted keying systems. Confirm your keying requirements with your locksmith or Häfele distributor before ordering.
What RFID credentials does the DL8800 use?
The lock uses Häfele Mifare credentials. Replacement key cards (912.20.905) and key tags (912.20.906) are available separately. Use Häfele-supplied Mifare credentials for guaranteed compatibility. Third-party Mifare credentials may work but are not manufacturer-confirmed.
My door is thicker than 50mm — can this lock still be fitted?
Yes. An accessory screw pack with extended spindles (Cat. 912.20.785) extends the compatible door thickness range to 50-70mm. The standard screw pack included with the kit suits 30-50mm doors.
Additional Information
The DL8800 is certified for use on E-Core and Firecore fire door assemblies to AS1530.4. When specifying for fire door use, confirm that all other hardware in the assembly — including hinges, strikes, and door seals — is also fire rated and compatible. Pyropanel certification was listed as pending in the manufacturer brochure; confirm current certification status with Häfele Australia prior to installation.
The DL8800 supports scramble code entry, which allows additional random digits to be entered before or after the actual PIN code. This prevents observers from identifying the correct code through shoulder surfing or wear patterns on the touchscreen. The scramble digits are ignored by the lock; only the correct sequence within the string unlocks the door.
The No Cyl Lock Kit (912.20.787) is intended for installers integrating the DL8800 into an existing site keying system. A master keyed oval cylinder is ordered separately and fitted at installation. Confirm cylinder suitability with your locksmith or Häfele distributor to ensure compatibility with your existing keying system before ordering.
IP55 confirms the lock has been tested for resistance to water spray from any direction and protection against dust ingress. This makes the lock suitable for installation on external entry doors in residential and light commercial environments. IP55 does not mean fully waterproof — avoid sustained high-pressure water contact or direct immersion.
The brochure for this product refers to a total storage capacity of 300 codes. The individual limits are: 10 administrator IDs, 100 fingerprints, 290 PIN codes, and 290 key cards/tags. These pools are not fully independent — total stored credentials must remain within the overall lock memory capacity. Manage credentials through the lock's programming mode or the Häfele Smart Living App.
