can it be installed outside?

it is better to hook up inside, but directions says if there is not enough room for the coil it can be hooked up in the open but cover the coil with duck tape to protect it. as per instructions

If it was mounted correctly yes , but I think it would have to be in the outside of the window .

No. It is definitely not designed for outside, but would probably do OK outside on a covered porch.

The product will install outdoors, but must be mounted so that water will not pool inside the housing.

IMO it doesn't seem like an outdoor capable. seems like a light duty thing...so I would not install it outside.

Yes, this can be used outdoors. I add sand bags to each side for more support.

yes it can be use outdoor. But keep in mind its rust resistance and not rust prove. So, eventually after years of usage it will rust.

Sure you can use it outdoors. It has a small battery box on it that would probably be completely ruined, but you are free to put the thing any place you want. Just don't expect it to last long out there if it starts raining...

I installed mine outdoor but I built a small 'closet' around it to protect it from freezing temperatures AND from the sun since UV typically degrades plastic.

It's made of aluminum and has a plastic cover so it should be fine as long as the screws you use to install it are made for outdoor use.

Negative it is not designed for outdoor use! Unless you enclose it somehow so the weather can't get to it! Hope it helps!

Yes it is designed for outdoor installation. The base has three holes to attach it to a structure.

I don't have mine installed outside . . . I believe it is made out of steel which might eventually rust? It would probably be OK if you put it outside, so long as it was under some kind of covering (roof, etc.) to protect from rain. Also the box is intended to be installed with the slot on top . . so that is also a consideration . . . again probably ok if it is installed under a covering of some sort.

Yes, it's designed to mount outdoors. There are two holes in the base that you can use to secure it to something.

I doubt that it is rated for outdoor use. Perhaps in a weather-protected enclosure you could.

It will work where ever you put it. If you want to mount it outside where it is exposed to the elements, the company has a exterior magnetic case available.

It surely can be mounted outside, I don't know about opening gates since I am using it to open a 12ft. shop door.
