After weeks with Mygate Lock Pro 2.0 lock, I love that entering home is always just a tap away

Is it possible to feel both high-tech and a little smug every time you open your own front door? That’s something I found with the Mygate Lock Pro 2.0. The idea of walking up, tapping a finger, and the lock sliding open is so convenient in real-life - no key hunt, no heavy keychain, no worries about whether you locked up in a rush. For regular city living, this smart lock is a great gadget upgrade. Who knew a daily chore could become a small, satisfying moment of control? Wondering why we say that? Keep reading this review to find out.

First impressions

The Mygate Lock Pro 2.0 arrives looking and feeling premium. The Obsidian Black version’s unibody glass and metal finish is sharp. And surprisingly resistant to fingerprints and dust! Installation was handled by the Mygate team and took 90 minutes. The technician first calibrated the system and connected the door sensor so I could start getting real-time notifications right away. This lock handles door widths between 35 and 65mm, which seems like a good fit for most Indian flats. It fits flat against the wood and looks almost built-in after setup. Using the app is simple and biometric registration is quick - you can add new users in a minute and an OTP can be generated in a hurry which was especially useful for me to let in visitors.

Everyday use and key features

Living with the Lock Pro 2.0 feels natural after the first week. There are six unlocking methods: fingerprint, PIN, app, OTP, RFID tag and a mechanical key for emergencies. The fingerprint sensor is fast, no dramatic pauses, but there is some frustration if your finger’s not absolutely dry. The real joy, though, is in the door sensor. Leave your door ajar or unlocked and you’ll get a push notification wherever you are. If you’re used to that mid-commute doubt, “Did I really lock it?”, this one feature justifies the switch.

Digital keys and temporary codes are easy to set up and send through the app and they work well for housekeeping staff or short-term guests. The logbook inside the app shows who accessed the lock and when, so there’s a real layer of visibility for anyone managing family, staff or deliveries. Battery life sits between ten and twelve months, with voice and app alerts as power gets low. Running out of power isn’t a crisis either, since a USB-C port allows emergency jumpstarting right from a standard power bank.

The Mygate Lock Pro 2.0 supports pairing with both the Smart Devices App and the Mygate Community App, allowing single-users and gated community residents alike to manage their access, audit entry logs, and receive notifications with equal simplicity. Remote unlock and notification features can be expanded further when paired with the WiFi Gateway.

Performance and reliability

The Pro 2.0’s three steel bolts appear solid and any tampering should trigger a loud alarm and instant app alerts. All features can be expanded with a bundled WiFi Gateway, which means you can check, lock, or unlock remotely and get push notifications while at work or travelling.

In daily use, the Mygate Pro 2.0 quickly fades into the background until you need it. Opening the app, adding access for parents or guests, and checking logs are all straightforward. Door auto-lock is reliable. The lock’s size is very noticeable at first but blends in after a few days, and the Obsidian Black finish holds up well to everyday hands and city dust.

The lock itself is quite a looker. It resists smudges, looks premium under different lighting, and works well with classic and modern door finishes. There’s a soft glow to the touchpad and indicators which helps with visibility at night without drawing attention.

Access logs are clear and easy to follow, but the app could be even more direct with instant lock actions rather than relying mainly on automation. Noise during engagement is present but it’s not disruptive. The lock is a significant upgrade for households used to traditional latch-and-key setups. It is important to note it only works with wooden doors, not metal ones, and proper alignment remains crucial if you want it to last for long.

Price and value

The Mygate Lock Pro 2.0 in Obsidian Black is priced at ₹29,990, which includes free installation, a WiFi gateway, and a three-year warranty. Given the level of smart features, the quality build, and the genuine daily convenience, it turns what used to be a routine task into something quietly futuristic and secure.
