will these hold on inside storm doors when it gets below freezing?

Well Melvin, does a magnetic engine block heater work in freezing weather? Temperature can have an effect on magnetism. Cold can have an effect of how fast charged particles move. It is the motion of charged particles, usually electrons around a nucleus, that produces magnetic fields. Cooling a metal can make the motion within less random, thus allowing more atoms to line up with each other. This increases the magnetic field of the material. On the other hand, making a magnet very hot will cause more random motion, resulting in less allignment of molecules and less magnetism. So, to answer your question politely (unlike Melvin) it seems that this curtain rod should hold nicely during cold weather. Well Melvin, does a magnetic engine block heater work in freezing weather?

Yes I am using them on metal French Doors that are exposed to all weather, including snow. Work perfectly.

You've got to be kidding! A magnet is a magnet. That's like asking if a magnetic engine block heater will work in freezing weather!

Hi Ellen,My guess is yes. I think it's heat that reduces magnetism. The magnets are not as strong as let's say a knife strip you install to attached knives. However, it's pretty strong.Hope this helps!-G

Cold weather yes, water proof not sure, I mounted mine on the inside of vehicle.

I purchased these last year. They are great holds. They are made of some type of mortar based product. They are porous so I would be concerned about cracks from freezing temperatures. I hope this helps

I'm not sure..they worked fine above freezing but the colder it got the worse they got.

Yes they work outside in the cold, rain, snow etc. Mine are on my deck stairs outside and they have worked flawlessly all winter and it's been below freezing quite often. As for adhesive tape you should be fine. They aren't heavy and have plenty of flat surface on the backs to adhere to.

I installed this item in two doorways last year. Only about 1/4" thick. Work really well and sustained the winter, but use lots of adhesive when putting down.

I use them with frozen fruit. I keep the containers in the door sections of the freezer though. If you make more containers than the door would hold it might not be a bad idea to keep the containers in other containers until they are frozen solid because the reditainers aren't super sturdy. Hope that helps!

. I got them to trap the water from Melting snow off my car in the garage. I would say it woildnt be wose to leave them outside in the winter as they might split if they had a lot of water on them and they froze.

I have mine mounted behind a storm door. It looks like it might be weather proof, but I would not trust it for long term. In the two years since install, I have only had 2 times when it rejected my key-strokes. Both times it was a rainy, windy, everything damp kind of day, and re-entering got me in. Was it dampness or was it me, I don't know.Good luck with this lock. It's been a winner for me.

As long as you retrieve them from your mailbox that day they should be fine.I had some delivered in the dead of winter and they froze- but then they unfroze and were fine. ;)

Besides gravity and the side mirror "bags", an pair of plastic hooks attached to elastic straps connect inside the car (you put them through the door then shut the door). It doesn't totally prevent snow/ice from getting under the thing though; I'm not sure how well it would work in windy conditions.

Howdy! I put these in my home on the interior doors to prevent the wind from blowing them closed. They are eight foot solid wood doors so are heavy and a lot of area for the breeze to catch. They work great and I love them for this application. When you say a "commercial" door I visualize an outside door with a door closer and you are wanting an easy way to hold it open when needed. I personnally do not think the magnet is strong enough for either outside winds or the strength of a door closer.

I bring mine in for the winter but they are very sturdy so I can't see why you couldn't use them in the winter.

They do get installed out doors a lot in southern climates where you are protected from freezing. However, it is more ideal to have some type of awning or some direct protection from rain fall. The cover does a great job, but I like to add a little more protection to them.

They may not weather well. I used them to replace my clips that held the glass window door to my tv console.

Lock is a cheap lock. I've had no problems with rain getting inside. Should hold up to snow OK although I guess it depends on weight of snow/ice. There is a seal around the lid. Diamond plate aluminum construction.
