Hands-on Review
The Xiaomi Smart Door Lock 4 Pro is a slick, well-priced push-pull smart lock that shines inside the Mi Home ecosystem — great value, provided you buy a properly supported local set rather than a grey import.
The Xiaomi Smart Door Lock 4 Pro is a push-pull smart mortise lock combining fingerprint, PIN keypad, NFC and app entry with tight integration into Xiaomi’s Mi Home ecosystem, aimed at homeowners already living in the Xiaomi/Mijia world who want a connected lock at sensible money. It’s the connected-lock counterpart to Xiaomi’s wider smart-home range and leans hard on app control and automations.
Within the smart-lock market the 4 Pro is a value-forward proposition: it undercuts many premium brands while offering a genuinely modern feature set and push-pull convenience. In Singapore it competes with Kaadas, Lockin and Aqara locks, and its strongest case is for Mi Home households — though the perennial caveat with Xiaomi locks here is region, firmware and warranty, since many sets on the market are China-region grey imports.

Who it’s for
- Xiaomi/Mi Home households wanting a connected lock with automations
- Value-focused buyers who want push-pull convenience without premium pricing

- Skip it if you can’t verify a local-region, locally-warrantied set

Security & unlock methods
The 4 Pro covers all the everyday bases — a quick fingerprint reader, PIN keypad, NFC card, Mi Home app entry and a mechanical key backup — on a solid push-pull mortise body. Anti-peep PIN entry and app-based intrusion and tamper alerts round it out. In daily use it’s fast and dependable, and the breadth of methods suits a whole family.
Installation & door fit
As a push-pull mortise lock it’s built to replace common main-door lock bodies, and fitting is generally straightforward through a competent installer. The bigger question in Singapore isn’t fit but sourcing: confirm you’re getting a set intended for our region with an app and firmware that behave, because China-market imports can bring language, account-region and update quirks that undermine an otherwise good lock.
App & smart-home integration
This is the 4 Pro’s home turf. Inside Mi Home it slots neatly alongside Xiaomi sensors, cameras and lights, enabling automations like lights-on-unlock and instant entry notifications. The app is mature and remote features work well with the appropriate gateway or hub. If you’re already invested in Xiaomi’s ecosystem, the integration is a real, tangible benefit rather than a checkbox.
Battery & everyday living
The rechargeable Li-ion pack lasts several months per charge and recharges rather than eating AAs, with clear low-power warnings. Push-pull entry is effortless with hands full, and the lock held up well in Singapore’s humidity under sheltered conditions. The main day-to-day risk is region/firmware related on grey sets, which is why buying a properly supported set matters.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Excellent value for a connected push-pull smart lock
- Deep, genuinely useful Mi Home ecosystem integration
- Rechargeable battery avoids constant AA swaps
- Full set of unlock methods with a mechanical-key backup
- Effortless one-motion push-pull entry
Cons
- Grey imports risk region, firmware and warranty headaches
- Full remote features may need a Xiaomi gateway/hub
- Local walk-in service is thinner than Yale/Samsung
- Value drops noticeably if you’re not in the Xiaomi ecosystem
Price in Singapore
Indicative Singapore pricing sits around $300–$500 depending on variant, region and whether it’s an official or grey-import set. Buy from sellers offering a local-region set with proper warranty and app support; the cheapest China-market listings can cost you later in firmware and support pain, so check the latest price and the fine print.
Alternatives to consider
- Aqara Smart Lock U300 — Pick it for Apple Home Key and Matter integration if you lean Apple rather than Xiaomi.
- Kaadas K9 — Choose it for a proven push-pull lock with the widest local installation and service network.
- Lockin V5 Max — Better if you want more advanced biometrics and a feature-maximalist package.
