How well does it work in very cold climates?

We have had no problems at all with it and it has been well below freezing. Our door is under a protected porch so does not get iced over.

Not sure, I live in Texas. I believe the lowest temperature was around 34F and it worked perfectly fine.

I would highly recommend these locks even in very cold climates. This particular one is on my husband's shop which is more open to the elements. No problem with icy weather. His only complaint is that he has to take his gloves off to punch the keys (I have no problem with gloves on).

We live in Nebraska and it gets very cold here, never have had any issues with it at all.

It works great, however, if the outside air temp is below 10-15 degrees fahrenheit or so, the unit will not work. So, when it's really, really cold out, for some reason the system has a safety mechanism that prevents it from working. Sounds crazy, but true. Once the day warms up enough, it kicks back on.

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

they work great under all conditions. I have used them outdoors in the winter time with no problem.

Thank God I live in a place where I can't answer that. But as an electrician I really can't imagine that the cold would affect it. It does seem to work well so far, and my only complaint is that is it very loud. I mean really loud. Good luck. David

SPEC'S: Avoid temperatures below -10C (14F) or above 60C (140F). However, I tried it in my great cold City of Chicago last week when it was below 0, and it worked......barely.

It has worked well for me, but I have not had it in extreme weather conditions.

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.

Mine works great. I think you will really like it. I love mine. Particularly with the snow this past winter. There is some trial and error involved in installation but not too bad.

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?

Hi, last winter it got down to 10 below zero and it worked just fine no problems.

I've used this for 2 years now in Denver on the same set of batteries. We certainly don't have the same level of cold that Alaska does, but we have our share of cold days, and I've never had a problem with this even on sub-zero days.

I have never had a problem with it working when its cold and it does get hot.

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

it works for a while here in 110 PLUS weather. I'm not sure about colder weather. It worked for about 6 months then began to loosen and hang down again. Good Luck! P.S. I used GORILLA GLUE and it has been doing better!

We got to +15 here once and thought we were going to freeze to death! Anyway, I have not tried them that cold, I suspect they'll work just fine since most electronic things like that are good down to -40. We used to live in Edmonton, AB, it hit -47 (without windchill) once, we decided to move.
