Is this weatherproof? I do not have a storm door but do have an awning over the door I would like to purchase this for.

It's designed for an outside door, so I would suspect it would hold up to the elements.

I don't think so, we have a patio cover so the rain hasn't got to it. But judging by the quality of it, I wouldn't say its weatherproof

Hmmm I think so... I don't have a storm door however it is on a covered porch. Part of it is plastic so I suspect it will not be harmed by the elements, particularly since you have an awning.

This has been working great for us, we do have a storm door but not sure if it matters or not

That crossed my mind, and I always make sure rain is not in the forecast when I put it in my window. The item is $30. So I just use my common sense -- it's an electrical appliance, and if it's product description doesn't say it's waterproof, assume it isn't. As to what happens when it gets rained on, I would rather not experiment to find out.

I use it on an outdoor screen door though it's on the inside of the door, exposed to the weather through the screen. The one I replaced (same model) was on the door when we bought the house 10 years ago, and was probably original (house built 25 years ago).

I had it over my garage door and the 1st night it rained, water got into the battery compartment and motion sensor. I put it in a bowl of rice for a few days and it got most out to the point to where it would work again. I put a sealant around anywhere that i thought water could get in and it's been great ever since. It just doesnt look the greatest lol. So to answer your question, it isnt weather proof unless you make it that way. Hope i helped.

I've had no problem. It's water-tight, so it is safe to leave outside when it rains (even in heavy rain). The hinges are solid and the wiring stands up to the flexing in the door well.

Not sure how weather resistant it is. I put mine under the house at a vent opening. So it would sound off out side but not be exposed to the rain and bad weather. It has been working in that location for over a year. If the alarm trips its loud. Most likely the intruder will run off.

The particular model you are asking about is weather proof. I have 3 of the, installed outside my home. Other very close model numbers are not.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. If you mean whether it is good for keeping the weather out, then yes because it has double flaps. It is very well made. If you mean whether you can install it in a storm door, then no; it is intended to go through walls. Hope that helps.

Ken, thank you for your question! This door does not include weather stripping because the vinyl flap is designed to be adjusted to fit the opening and make a weather tight seal.

I will say yes if this is the kind your storm door needs. I placed mine and went to Larson website and l check at Lowes too coping the numbers on the storm door

Hi Tammy, I would not recommend it for exterior use, unless you have storm door. It is not really water proof. Imagine two rods of foam, covered with dress shirt fabric. That's sort of what this is like. I don't think I'd want it to get wet. I'm also not sure if it would close properly since threshold doors usually have a little strip on the bottom of the door frame. If it were my front door, I would maybe try to find a weather strip of rubber or one like this that has just a single rod of some kind to attach to the inside of my door.

Ours is for outside on a tree but if you have the right support it should be fine. It's too wide for a door way though. Excellent quality!

The door is very heavy with strong magnets. So it swings well and catches well. I live up in the mountains and during heavy storms you can not feel the wind coming through. Because it closes so well unless my dog is going through it doesn

It looks pretty weatherproof. I have one under cover but the other one is SW facing and gets wet occasionally. I do not recall any statements in the instructions relative to keeping it dry or out of the sun. They seem built for the outdoors. Good luck!

Yes John, I put mine on a storm door that has a aluminum outer core and foam inter core. I drilled 2 1/2" holes one upper one lower and used my jigsaw with a medal blade to cut the holes out. Hope this helps you out. Tim

Sorry, I don't know. You should cj=heck with the manufacturer. I have a set installed on an outside door but it's protected by a storm door and does not come in direct contact with the elements.

It's probably about 85% weatherproof out of the package. I installed mine on an exterior door to my shop, but I, personally, put a small shield on a hinge above mine to keep rain & snow off of it. Have had it for 3 months in Oklahoma weather & it is working fine & I have really enjoyed having it. It's possible that an ice build-up could make the buttons not work. Hope this helps.
