I really don't like the look of the black rubber that goes around the lock. Can the lock be installed without it?

I THINK SO.You can also trim the rubber so it shows only 1 mm outside.It's there to protect the door!!!

I can't imagine that it would fit properly without it. The black rubber not only creates a way to avoid scratching the door, it also makes the fit snug so that it doesn't shift (and the whole act like washers). Additionally, it holds the inside of the lock securely so that it doesn't move and stays aligned with the other side of the lock in the door jam.

You probably could. I don't remember how thick the rubber is and if it is needed for proper spacing, I installed it for a customer many months ago. I would not recommend it since it seems to be necessary to the fit of the lockset.

Yeah, you surely could. I am from Minnesota and have installed 7 of these. The black rubber does a couple of things, first, covers the 2 3/4 hole that a normal door knob fits in and secondly, provides a gasket for weather and moisture. So, if you didn't use the black gasket, the hole must be smaller, or you'll see through the gaps to inside and you have to use a type of weather gasket. Thanks and good luck! They have all been flawless for me, even in -40 degrees during winter.

Eventually, the black rubber begins to disintegrate a little and form a dark edge. At that point, you'd want to discard the unit I think.. After several years I decided to toss mine because of the disintegration.

Given that its metallic finish on the plastic I would guess yes, I have not noticed any difference in my application. The other odd thing about the locks with the built-in module is the cases are taller for some reason.

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.

Sorry, I am unable to help. I did mine by cutting with a razor and soaking in hot water to loosen the rubber. Good luck. Let me know if I was of any help.

No it doesn't that in the picture is the factory, but I think it looks better without it!

You would need a casing. The black around the light itself is rubber but the back of the light is open. I'm fairly certain you could find something suitable, it just isn't included in this particular kit.

Maybe. If there is a tab to grab, pull it off. If it is a plastic coating that does not have a tab it may be pressed off when it is installed.

Not sure, But if it would require a regular one it would have been installed when designed. There's a reason why is black.

Take the rubber part off and look on the side with the lock button, you'll see a small slit you can pry it with a small screwdriver, nail file or something similar. It is hard and you'll feel like it's going to break but mine hasn't so yours shouldn't either.

Yes. Whatever rubber comes OEM you remove. You will love them. Been almost two years and they still look great! Good luck!

I never installed this lock as I bought is for an exterior door and it did not fit properly, so I cannot answer your question.

No. Your wheel lock key has a code (check for in owner's manual) to have your key remade. Or go to a tire pro shop, the can hammer on a tight sockek or even weld a bolt onto the lock lug to remove it.

There is a hole for a padlock. The install takes about an hour or two depending on how everything comes off.

yes, the rubber gasket is essential. I recommend you return it immediately. you will be disappointed otherwise.

You use an allen wrench to attach the nub. You could simply unscrew it and remove it if you aren't going to use the lock anymore.

No I don't have a black piece on mine. I don't recall it. This is a one piece case. I will say that it is hard to get on. The rubber needs to be stretched on one end to fit. it takes some strength
