I live in the mid-west, temperatures dip down to wind chills of -40F at times. How well does this lock work in cold weather?

Hi - I live in the Midwest as well. This lock works better than any of the automated locks as you must manually turn it to lock/ unlock the door. I have had it for 2 years (and cold seasons) now without issue.

I don't know. We live in the deep south. We have since replaced the lock with a Kwickset push button lock.

I think it should do a great job for you. I live in Michigan and haven't had any problems. I absolutely love my Schlage locks (I have 4 systems on different buildings), they make securing your property simple!

Yes it is. We live in Calgary Alberta where the temperature can extremely low. Our door lock works just fine.

I live in southern California and haven't been in much cold weather. I have it mounted all the time and have had no problems with the suction coming loose. I took it apart after a month, just to clean the area, and the product works and stays put just fine.

My sensor is in my house so it's never exposed to "very cold weather." But our outside winter temps get into the 20's and teens at night and this has never set it off. But I keep the temps inside around 68 degrees.

DavidThis 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

I can't be of much help, since I live in southern Arizona. We have had only two or three nights of freezing temperatures, and the lowest was probably 27 or 28 degrees F. The faucet I have still works fine following those events.

I live in Indiana so we have had some cold weather however I have not been through a winter with it. It seems to work well all the time. I like to use the cover that comes with it that keeps the unit clean and from getting soaked. Hope this helps. Thank you

I have several of this model mounted outside my house under the eaves for a number of years. They have worked perfectly even in this latest cold snap. Down south here the lowest we have experienced recently was 22 degrees. The eaves protect them from most of the rain. The heat and humidity of summer hasn't had any effect.

Bill - we have used it in cold weather with very good results (32 degrees and above), but not sure about performance in sub zero weather. Sorry we couldn't be of more help. Have you called the manufacturer for input?

I havent had the opportunity to use it in temps that low. I do, however, suspect it will be susceptible to water and ice, as it does attach to the license plate frame and will be out in all kinds of weather. So far it has done what I wanted it to do. I did wrap all connections in electrical tape, as I think moisture will be its main enemy.

It has worked great for us, we do have some issue with getting enough sun to recharge it, due to living in a wooded area. We have it (I am not to up on this stuff so bear with me) hooked to a battery/mighty mule gate opener and we have a gate approximately 10ft wide and it opens it just fine. So far no issue with cold temp's. We live in the Central United States. So not sure how cold it gets where you are at. Hope this helps

I am using it outside on a pole between buildings. We don't get down to zero, probably 30 with wind chill and so far no issues. The cable casing seems like it would be able to handle the cold. I felt it was a good quality cable housing.

The lock would do it but if the freezer is exposed to very low outside temps, the adhesive on the attachment may fail. It's not supposed to be under 60 degree F.

We've used this product for a few winters. I purchased several for our family. No problems with the locking mechanism at all.

Phil,This lock has done excellent for us, we also use it on an outside service door and here in Indiana it has been a bad winter with lots of snow and ice. The lock has functioned flawlessly through it all.

It will go well below 40 degrees, in fact, I had set at at the coldest setting and the cans were freezing and bursting openSo I backed it off to about 3/4 of the way and they were still freezing, it does a good job of keeping things cold
