Will this work on an exterior door, like my front door to the cold outside?

I don't know that that is the best idea because the material is a little light. for an exterior door you might want one of the plastic door guards that you attach to the bottom of the door, hanging down.

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.

I guess, depend on the superfice outside. I live in a condo, so for me works perfectly.

well I applied it to a door to an outside porch, without a strorm door, and it's fine. It is on the inside, the heated side of the door, so it's a different application than what you're thinking of, but I think it would do fine. It's not expensive so I would try it. Good luck.

There is no reason it won't work if you have a cigarette lighter. There is even a small piece cut out of your door weatherstrip so that you can close the for and not deform the weatherstrip. Hope this helps. Al

Yes. Works best if it is outside. Just make sure it protected for harsh weather.

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

I have not used this product yet since the weather here has not been cold enough. I will let you know when I use it how well it does work. I know that does not help you now if you are planning on buying one right-a-way.

Not through the frame. There is a seal kit available that could help keep out the cold. The door itself is made of a heavy material and has a magnet to help seal it.

Probably not, unless it is VERY quiet outside, and you have a uninsulated or thin door.

Depends on the distance from the front door to the rest of your house. It works well on the outside gate for us.

no, sorry chuck. it seems to have worked pretty good in the cold on the molding around my driver and rear door, but pressure was applied when the doors were closed. good luck. test it on something else 1st.

Yes it will work. Just make sure your door is clean, and lightly sanded to remove stains (if you wish). Keep in mind this is an easy, but long process, simply due to the drying (curing) time of the oil, and the fact you will probably want at least 2 coats. This is an air curing oil, so temp, humidity, etc. play into all of this. You are easily looking at a couple of days. Also keep in mind this may change the color of the door slightly. Hope this helps and good luck.

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).

Works grest in our application, which is a door from house to garage. Not sure if it would work as well facing a high wind.

I would not use this on an exterior door. For a very few more dollars, you can get a lever that has a tongue and will hold securely when you close it. This dummy lock can be opened with a slight push, so I definetly wouln't be comfortable with one on an outside door, dead bolt or not.

If you've got enough space in front of the door (that you use to hang it from), it works that same as if it was form the outside.It includes a short tube for holding it with closed door.

It depends on the the tempature. If it's really cold like it has been it doesn't work(like below zero) & you will have to use a snow rake. If it is hovering at 32 degrees or above it works fine.

I also have an insulated exterior door that I installed the Dog mate into...it was a little more difficult to cut but it works
