Is this lock suitable for outdoor use on an electric swing gate?

I personally would not use this outside, even though it has a cover on the wiring it is NOT a water tight compartment. You might be able to get away with a lot of silicone. I wouldn't risk it.

I'm actually pretty sure it is. I installed it for a client inside of a walk-in refrigerator about a year ago. So far no complaints. Although there are temperature changes and moisture inside sometimes. Just terminate everything properly and you should be good to go.

I believe it would work fine. I do not think there is anything special about the standard lock hole and sizing on an outside door compared to an inside door. I know have added outside door locks to inside doors before (of different styles), this should be no different.

This lock can be used anywhere a regular deadbolt can be used, taking into account, of course, that the shape of this deadbolt lock is narrow and tall, not "puck-like." If the gate is a door, sure. If the gate is metal bars, maybe not the best application. You will also need a door knob. This is a lock, not a handle-lock. Read all the details before purchasing; and all the reviews.

The gate would have to be spring loaded to shut. This lock is great but the gate hinges need to be spring loaded you can buy these from Amazon.

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 :)

the gate lock is strictly a key to lock or unlock mechanism. it won't lock unless you want it to. hillbilly741 Feb 3.

I am only using it to open our community gate. I believe it can be programmed for other functions...but not sure about vehicle locks. Try to contact the company.

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.

Generally, I wouldn't. I have used locks specifically stated for outdoors use. As far as I know they are made for indoor use only.You may contact Master Lock to ascertain the correct answer. The link is here... https://contact.masterlock.com/52/contactus.aspx Good luck!

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.

24 Kilonewtons is equal to 5,395 (lbs) pound force. So, yes you can hang a swing with it but a locking gate would always be a safer option.

Absolutely! It's great for outdoor use, very light weight and stands on it's own when folded up, with the lock position.

This is a entry door lock. I don't think it is designed for your application.

I probably will but please note that these locks are not designed for intruder protection... these are meant for reliable door traffic control.

I do not think this lock would be enough. I would also install a secondary lock. This is a nice unit, but not secure enough for your intended use.

The lock is pretty strong and keeps my kids out- but I suppose if you were to keep it outside, someone could break into it with the right equipment. Of course, in rural America, it would probably work pretty well...

I'm sorry I can't answer that, since I bought my key pad to operate my electric gate. I do have to reenter the code to close it if that helps
