Is the unit waterproof when installed on a outside facing exterior door that's not covered from the elements?

This lock is designed to be used on an exposed exterior door, I have one so installed and it has had no problems.

I think it's gonna do well since all the electronic parts are on inside of the door. However constantly pouring water will damage of course.

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 .

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!

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.

I have mine under an awning, so it gets rained on a little and still works. It's technically outside, but I wouldn't call it waterproof.

I don't think it is waterproof but I have used both parts of the unit outside with no problems.

I have it outside my front door - in the weather and it seems to be working fine. Therefore, it appears to be water proof

It is definately not waterproof. There are holes around the bolts that can be caulked or siliconed to prevent water. But there is no gasket on the door.

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

With a normal installation the electronics (battery, circuit boards) are located on the interior side of the door and out of the weather. The keypad is outside. I have two installs on exterior doors that get wet when it rains. After almost 3 years of rain, shine, snow, wind, 0F - 85F, no problems or malfunction with either install. So, I would say they are weather proof. Someone else will have to comment on whether or not they are Hurricane-proof or -40F proof.

If by that you mean "is it water proof", almost nothing electrical that isn't sealed is safe for outdoor use. On the other hand it is ruggedly built with an on-off switch to turn on-off electrical power. But I wouldn't leave it outside in the rain.

I used installed it on my exterior storm door. Not sure if that's what you are asking though.

No! The housing is what makes the unit waterproof, when assembled properly.

I installed the door bell under the roof area so I don't know if it is waterproof.

No, I'm afraid it's not. The wires and workings are pretty well shielded (I accidentally spiled a cup of water on mine and none of it got in there) but not well enough for exterior use.

Unit isn't weather proof, if you mount outdoors, it does need to be potected from moisture.
