Is this a weather resistant / outdoor lock?

Ive had it outside through the summer heat and rain in Ohio and it has held up fine. The true test would be winter, although I have this lock on a storage compartment on a landscape trailer that I only use in warmer weather.

The lock appears to be stainless; however I would be concerned about weather affecting the combination dials

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 wouldn't call the keypad waterproof. Weather resistant yes. I mounted in an exterior vestibule out of direct sun and rain.

My son used this lock on his bike, riding almost every day, in rain and snow, and never had a problem. Now, that was just about 9 months, I don't know if there are any problems for longer-term use in the weather. I would assume that since it's mostly brass and stainless (or hardened) steel, it would last for a long time in the weather.

they are not really intended for outdoor use, the manual doesn't really specify, but does warn against using it as an exterior front line of defense type of lock (It can be defeated with a sawzall and a screwdriver...)despite the sales pitch saying that you can use it on your front door.

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 .

Hi Roger, This is outdoor use up to 105F, but I don't think this door lock good for low temperature -5F

I have had it outside for a while in the rain, with no issues. However, if gets cold enough to freeze, the lock stiffens up quickly.

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 keep mine outside but under cover from direct rain. It has a battery pack that could get wet. Also the plastic could deteriorate over time in direct sun. I would say weather resistant but not weather proof.

No, it has no lock, and is inherently insecure. Keeps the rain, snow, dirt and junk out, but doesn't provide any real security.

I dont recomend to use outdoor. It is an eletronic lock and it isnt waterproof.

Although this version was used on an inside door at my company, I have the same lock in the slim profile version installed on two outside doors. It is exposed to all weather conditions the Pacific Northwest can offer. Alarm Lock will stand up to the outside better than most.

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.

Not sure how weather resistant it is. I put mine under the house at a vent opening. So it would sound off out side but not be exposed to the rain and bad weather. It has been working in that location for over a year. If the alarm trips its loud. Most likely the intruder will run off.

This was my concern also. In my opinion, yes, over time. I took a rectangular clear plastic top from a sealed container which covered an item I had purchased and attached it with stick on velcro to the side of this unit. It made a pretty good weather guard. The rotating lock code numbers are not weather proofed and could allow moisture in. To me, over time this would have to have a corosion factor.

The one I have is metal or type of alloy. It seems solid. I keep it outside with a spare house key in it and It is holding up well. The black rubber flap protects the combination lock.
