Can this be used outdoors? Is it weatherproof?

This is for indoor use. Having said that, I have had two outside under some eaves for three years now, outside of direct exposure to the elements. I know full well that, one day, some weather event will probably knock them out. If you need an outdoors version, there is an alternative weatherproof model from Sharx Security. I have one of those too - it's great!

While there are no waterproof markings on the unit (I just checked), I don't think I would stick it outside unprotected. I think it would be fine if it was protected from moisture.

It can be used outdoors as long as you protect it from direct exposure to rain, snow, etc. I have used one successfully outdoors mounted under the overhang on a house.

I don't think so, we have a patio cover so the rain hasn't got to it. But judging by the quality of it, I wouldn't say its weatherproof

No, I wouldn't use it outdoors. It does not have the proper seals in place for wet conditions.

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...

Mine is mounted outside but in a covered location. I'm not sure if it weatherproof but I suspect that Square D can answer that better than I.

I have one, It's not meant to be used Outside. Certainly if you put it outside, it will work, but I wouldn't want to get it wet or leave it exposed to extreme weather. I don't see it being capable of withstanding the elements.

No, I would not leave it outdoors, but you could use it outdoors if there is NO chance of it getting wet.

It can be used outdoors. However, it would work better in a shady location if you are using it lighted. I use mine indoors and notice when the sun hits the signs, the lights are not as noticeable. It is NOT weather proof so don't leave out in rain or other extreme conditions.

No. Not in my opinion, It has no real weatherproofing. It will need to be protected from the elements.

I doubt if it is waterproof. It could be used outside if you didn't need the light to work, however the base would have to be weighted.

This unit must not be exposed to the weather. The only part that can go outside is the weather proof outlet box that you would plug the cord into.

this one is not weather proof you can put it in a weather proof enclosure or by one rated for outdoor use

NO! It is not strong enough to withstand weather. It is only for internal (inside buildings, houses, etc) use not for outdoor use.

I can't verify if it's waterproof, but definitely designed for outdoor use! I have had it hanging from a rear garage exterior door for a couple of years with no problems. The keys are dry and the lock mechanism has always opened with ease every time.

I would not recommend this for outdoor use. There are far too many places that moisture could sneak in. However, if you mount it upside down underneath some form of cover that can keep it dry it should be OK. For a while :)
