Is this weatherproof (okay to use on exterior door?)

We use them for exterior with no problems. They are somewhat protected by our carport but are holding up fine

I installed 2 of these on exterior doors and have had no problems with them, I would not purchase these for doors that I use all of the time, they lock each time the door closes making it a pain to use if you go in and out of the door a lot.

The manufacturer claims this is waterproof, but it isn't. I needed a doorbell for my front gate that would be exposed to sun and rain. I went thru 4 different wireless doorbells that claimed to be waterproof. None of them lasted thru a single rainy season. I solved the problem by mounting an electrical box (Bell, non-metalic, 1-gang, weatherproof, #MM420C, $8.44) to the gate, and installing the doorbell inside the box. This model actually got wet (before the electrical box cover), stopped working for a month, and then started working after it dried out. I've had this same doorbell for 2 years now without a problem. The price is great. The range is great. For me, that's 100 feet thru stucco and wood. The Chinese-to-English instructions were crappy, but the installation is simple enough without written instructions. I hope this helps you. Good luck!

We installed these a few months ago in Buffalo, NY - one on an exterior door. Haven't seen any problem.

David This lock will have a characteristic of exterior weather resistance but i'd be somewhat concerned if the lock was in direct sunlight. The finish of most locksets would then deteriorate over time. So the answer again...it's good to go but get some cover over the lockset. Hope this was helpful. Jerry

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 only did indoor cabinets with their water based top coat...in my experience though and living in cold weather, I would think you would need an oil based top coat for an outside door! :)

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 there's not a lot of traffic by the door. I use mine outside and had to be creative to keep it from going off every time the wind blew anything around it. Hope this helped :)

Not waterproof, but water resistant. The seal on the door would probably leak if you were storing it in water.

It has been installed outside for couple months and still works fine. I guess it is waterproof at least; not sure if it is weather proof.Make sure your area with good sunshine to use it.

I have mine on a steel exterior door. I did use two (of the three hinges) to provide more closing force. Works great!

if this door knob is the only source of locking the door then no you can't But if your using it with a deadbolt and you don't want to be locking two things like me then yes you can use it for a exterior door

no it is not weatherproof, I had mine outside in the environment and it filled with water, so you need to insulate it !

Hmmm I think so... I don't have a storm door however it is on a covered porch. Part of it is plastic so I suspect it will not be harmed by the elements, particularly since you have an awning.

I used it on the outside door with no problems at all no rain got in nothing abnormal I will also note that I bought a second one of these as well it works so good .good luck

You can mount it on the outside of the door as long as the door opens to the outside. This unit pushes the door closed.My only concern would be how it will hold up to the elements. It is not a sealed unit and could possibly rust in time.
