How well does it hold up in the rain? Will it rust like others and no longer close or open?

It really is not a very effective device. It never opened after repeated attempts.

I kept one of three sent to me and the one I have has not been out in the weather at its current location so I don't know the answer. The two that I could not open to place the key inside were returned. It is fairly lightweight compared to other styles that I have used, and perhaps if it were made of heavier material it would have operated properly.

I've had mine in a covered porch; but it closes tightly & I doubt if it will rust outside. Good product.

We keep them on our patrol car at night for the key and have no rust and still work as they should

Absolutely. I wouldn't leave it out in the rain though the legs are metal they might rust a little.

Ive had it outside through the summer heat and rain in Ohio and it has held up fine. The true test would be winter, although I have this lock on a storage compartment on a landscape trailer that I only use in warmer weather.

I bought one of these 4 years ago. I move it outside for the warm months (May-Oct) and bring it in for the winter. I live in Washington, DC, so it has been out in the rain and sun. Mine has not rusted. I love it!

Mine has been driven around in the rain and also exposed to lawn sprinklers overnight and so far, no rust.

We have left this outside many times and it stands up to the rain and sprinkler system just fine. If it starts to get windy we just unhook it from the sides and bottom and closed it like a curtain. During the winter we did take it down and stored it.

It's moderately durable and I have not had mine long enough to know if it rusts. I believe other reviewers have reported that it will rust.

No, ive had mine on for over 6 months now it hasn't faded or rusted. Where i live there isn't much rain though but it has rained a few times and no rust. But they do get dirty a lot with the exhaust coming out of them, they turn black every once in a while but you can just wipe it off with a wet rag or anything else.

Ours has not but in the winter we put a cover on it. It does sit in the rain during rainy days and after two years no rust anywhere

I think so....I've had it for the past few months, it's seen about 3 showers a day, and not a spot of rust. I'm very happy with it. I was initially hesitant because of the price, but am now very glad that if bought it.

Rain... no pain, Wind... think again. Good aluminium build resists rust and wipes right off but lightweight design may cause to blow away. It is VERY stable in normal conditions and a very handy and useful purchase. I keep one in the trunk and have been shocked at how often it comes in handy.

I've had the umbrella in England and through a rough winter here in DC...it's a very strong, yet easy to handle umbrella, fits in a backpack and is worth the price. I have NOT seen any rust forming on the steel joints after almost 7 months of use..

It can. But just like with any metal, it can rust when exposed to extended moisture. If it can be covered and out of the rain it would last longer.

I have had it outside for a year now in the Pacific NW and its rust free. I cover it with a tarp when it rains.

I've kept mine outside for over a year...no rust whatsoever! Although I live in California and it doesn't rain much here either! :)

I have had it for over a year. There has been no rust, but I did take it inside for the winter. No problems with the wind. It has good weight.

It's metal so I'm pretty sure it would rust over time if it gets wet. It IS beautiful. I have it as the centerpiece in a collage of crosses on a wall.
