MyGate Smart Lock is a nightmare - bad install, zero support, and Amazon won’t let me leave a 1-star review
Leaving this here so if anyone searches for “MyGate smart lock” or “MyGate installation problems”
Here’s my full experience:
- Took an online demo and sales pitch. Sounded great.
- Bought it from Amazon.
- Installation was done quite bad and that’s putting it mildly.
- The installer forgot to install the manual lock entirely. We had to point it out before he added it.
- After installation, he left without giving any demonstration. Didn’t show how anything works. Had to watch YouTube videos to get the basic idea on how manual key works.
- No cleaning was done after drilling the door. There was dust and debris everywhere.
- There are now big gaps left in the door (looks awful and affects security). Door looks ruined.
- All nails used are either bent or already coming out.
- The rotatory lock was installed in reverse direction “unlock” actually locks the door, and vice versa.
- Raised 3 tickets with MyGate support. All closed without a single resolution or site visit.
- Tried leaving an honest 1-star review on Amazon, but they seem to have a tie-up with MyGate. Amazon literally wouldn’t allow it. Waited on customer support for 1 hour, and no one could help. Just continuous redirection with no end.
Final recommendation: Don’t buy it. Go with literally any other brand.
