Great Product

This is a great product with only one flaw, which may be due to my slow internet, there is a fairly large lag time between when someone is in range of the camera, and my phone notifying me, likewise, I “see gate” and it takes some time to view, so people are knocking again before I can connect. Otherwise I love the features!

Canary purchased and shut down this product

It seems that Canary has decided to no longer sell or support the Gate Labs product. App is no longer functioning

App does not work’

App stopped working one day (no notifications) and has not worked since! Stay away.

Poor quality product

I purchased 3 locks and all 3 failed within one year. At first they functioned fairly well. As several months went by the locks would not retain a charge for even two days! One lock failed altogether. The company agreed to send a replacement. The replacement was never received. After multiple requests on my part and no response from the Gate company I had to replace the 3 locks. I would never recommend this inferior product. JLE!

Good for a lock but not a camera

This took forever to ship and she app is almost useless the notifications are super slow and it doesn’t even record things at the right time this thing is a joke if you want a good camera get a ring instead.

Wish I had a better option

Only using this because nothing else fits my door.

Inconsistent notification and motion sensor triggering.

This is problematic because you cannot unlock without motion detection.

Company promised updates but never happened.

Very disappointing

No simple way to delete multiple files at once

The gate itself is great. The ability to assign individual pin’s is great. When it comes to media management it falls short. There is no way to select multiple files at once for deletion. Having to swipe left on every single file is tedious and time consuming. It’s would be great if you could select ranges of dates for deletion.

Last update is horrible. Alerts come in delayed and no notification of any entries

Love my gate lock!

Love having gate to get in and out of my hous easily and give access to friends and family from the app.

Woke up to an Un-Locked House!

So my new Gate smart lock has been installed for three days. Love the idea of this, but this morning I walked past the front door and noticed that it was unlocked!!! Last night I checked to be certain that my front door was locked.
What the heck!? Calling them now for tech support.

Excellent Product!

Great product with a great customer service!

Homeowner

I am so happy with my new lock and the security this lock offers.. I would highly recommend this to all my friends..
The app is so easy to use as well.

Gate Smart Lock

Love my gate lock! We live by a lake and being able to take my dog for a walk without carrying keys is so nice! I just use the code to get in and out It also automatically locks after 5-15 minutes (depending how you set it)) after the door shuts. This is great for when you have small children. Also we travel a lot and we are able to give a separate code to those who take care of our pets and home. We can see when people come and go from our home too. The camera can see from our front door to the street will record movement by motion detectors We recently traveled to Europe and stayed in several Airbnb apartments. We wish they had the Gate lock!

I feel secure with gate video clips of entry

I have been using Gate for 6 months now and I’m really happy with my purchase. Gate does the job of a camera doorbell and a keypad door lock all in one device. I used the app instructions to install and it was super easy and took only 10 min. I feel safe about my house since I can see through the camera if anybody comes to my door. Nobody can enter the house unless they are given a pin code. This has been very handy for our house keeper and the contractors who came to install our hardwood floor. I 100% recommend this lock to my friends.

Great product!

I’ve been using the Gate smart lock for a few months and it’s made my life much easier. Love the all-in-one solution. I’ve been using one on my vacation rental for a few months and it’s made my Airbnb reservations much easier with giving temp access to the guests. The camera is super useful. I think that’s a major advantage over other smart locks out there.

Will never be ready

This lock requires so much work, its never going to be fully featured.

If you want to remotely unlock, some has to wake it from its sleep. Same thing if you want to remotely lock it.

The lock now requires a subscription service, for what used to be free. They should have tied in their video into HomeKit that way the video could be remotely accessed and saved on iCloud.

Auto Unlock is never going to be a feature on this device which almost all other smart locks have. This thing was all hype.

Love my Gate Lock!

Have been using for my business for about two months now. Easy to install...easy to use. Great knowing who is coming and going and able to control access from anywhere!

All in one perfection

This is the ultimate smart home solution for everything needed for the front door. Has everything wife and I needed for kids, family, cleaners and deliveries. Key, camera, remote access, key code - and saved hundreds of dollars buying Gate

Great product

"Solid product. I can watch who goes in and out of my front door on my phone while I am away. Especially monitor my kids coming home."

Awesome!

Love that I can let people in remotely! App makes it easy to create and remove codes and see activity from the lock
