Is it weather resistant? I want to use it under my outside stairs but I'm worried it will rust or damage from weather.

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.

I've had mine installed for a couple years now outside, under a covered area and it has weathered fine. The metal seems to be an aluminum material.

I'm using mine outdoors on my patio's storage closet. My patio is covered but I'm sure it still sees some weather. I haven't noticed any trouble with mine in the last 4-5 months since I purchased and have been using it.

From what I saw, it is weatherproof but not intended to be permanently left outside. I left mine out in my backyard for a month and the hardware, screws, hinges, etc is showing signs of oxidation .

I bought one of these 4 years ago. I move it outside for the warm months (May-Oct) and bring it in for the winter. I live in Washington, DC, so it has been out in the rain and sun. Mine has not rusted. I love it!

Yes. You could use it outside. It is so versatile. I would however not keep it out there forever. Anything metal will eventually rust, but for laundry days sure!! Let the sunshine!!

I've encountered no rust problems as yet. I've had mine for several months and it's been under the patio the entire time.

It should be protected from water and weathering elements. I have mine underneath my house. The first one I had was ruined when a water pipe burst and got it wet. I know someone else who has it on their porch.

It should be fine outdoors. The surface is gritty allowing traction if the ramp gets wet. It is made of aluminum so it will not rust.

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.

I'm not sure. Mine is outside and we've had a lot of rain.....so far no rust.

I've used mine outdoors for a year with no issue. It appears to be a pretty weather tight unit.

I've been using mine outside since September 2013. I use it to keep a wood fence gate locked. I have not unlocked it once or removed it since that time. I live in Minnesota so it has been exposed to all the elements. There is some slight rust in two spots. I would still recommend this for outdoor use. If I had the ability to post a picture here in my response I would. I will complete a review of this lock and add the picture there.

It is made from pigskin, so theoretically it should be able to be outside under some kind of cover since it must be mounted into a truss or other sturdy area. I'm unsure if the chain would rust.

I had good luck with it in my attic; however, it is not made of weather resistant materials, so I would not try it outside.

It is says it can be used outdoors . I would use it in a green house. However, I haven't had mine a year and the bottom shelf rusted out. Next time I will spray it with Rustoleum before I put it out on my porch. Wouldn't buy this one again.

personally, i would not use outdoors - i believe it is constructed for indoors only - probably would warp and metal rust. however, you can contact seller for more accurate informations.
