Would this locked need to be on a covered outside door? Or can it be used exposed to rainy weather? Is it weather resistant or proof?

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.

our lock has been exposed to the elements at an elevation of 8,000ft....rain, snow, dust from all the quads on the dirt road.... It has not failed or show any signs of wear/tear.

I have it installed on an exterior door. We just went thru a hurricane with heavy rains in Hawaii and experienced no problems.

Sorry, but I would not purchase this for outdoor use unless it is protected by a covering of some sort. I left mine out in the open and it was damaged after it got wet from the rain.

There is no weather proof seal. I would not suggest it unless you had some secondary cover for it. I use this purely to hold some items out of reach of the wandering nephews and quick access for myself. This is far from high security or what I would use as outdoor security

I can't verify if it's waterproof, but definitely designed for outdoor use! I have had it hanging from a rear garage exterior door for a couple of years with no problems. The keys are dry and the lock mechanism has always opened with ease every time.

This is an outdoor rating refrigerator and I have it in a cover though, so prevents from rain and water. Got some open parts at back, don't advice without cover

The outside button seems to be weather resistant. My porch is covered, but it gets wet periodically. It is all solid state, so I think you'll be OK.

No. This safe is not weather proof and not really secure at all for any type of outdoor installation. I would never recommend you attempt such a thing. This safe is ok, and I'm glad I have it to hide away some medium-value items to keep away from nosy roommates, babysitters, family members, children, etc. This safe would never deter and would barely slow down an actual criminal. Keep your money in a bank account.

It is not water proof. Ours is under a gazebo roof that overhangs and no rain gets to it. But if the wind blows sideways, it will get wet. Hope this helps.

With the flap closed, I think it would be fairly weather proof. I have it installed on a porch where it's protected, so I've never really tested it out in this way, but it's a very sturdy mailbox. If a larger package is placed inside, obviously, the lid can't be closed, and then rain could certainly get in.

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.

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.

We installed ours on an outside door last October. So far, no problems but the rainy season hasn't hit yet.

I only used it when it was raining lightly so I believe it is water resistant but not sure if it's water proof.

It is water repellant. As far as water proof, I'm not sure about that. I have not had it out in any big rainstorms yet.

It is water proof . Though its not storm proof. Heavy rain will get in bottom-up.

Don't know if it is "rainproof" but it is electronic therefore I would not use it if out in the rain for an extended time. It does detach from the bracket so you could secure it from the weather.
