What grade is this lock? Will this work outside (no storm door?)
627800
I don't know the grade, but we put the lock on our outside gate about six months ago and so far has weathered well, no rust and it works just fine!

Not sure of grade. I use it on a outside door that gets rain and sunlight hasn't faded yet.

I would recommend you NOT buy this lock. I used this lock on my shed, that is located outside, and it didn't hold up. Something happens to the plastic parts in cold/hot weather, and my code eventually stopped working (1yr old). I just had to cut this lock off! Now I am using the "New Master Lock 653D", and I can already feel that it's sturdier.

To clarify, since you mentioned outside, this is an indoor doorknob. There is a slot kind of like a flathead screw driver slot that you can turn to either lock or unlock it. I've used a dime for this.

Oh yes! Mine is outside in the west Texas elements. There is a place on the doors where you can add a padlock. You will love it!

YaUs you, the inside lock peice is flush so if you don't want to drill the hole for outside lock it won't be a problem

I have one that's over 50 years old. I first used it in New England for forty years, outdoors with no problem. For the past ten years it's been securing a chain lock on a gate on a beach road in the Bahamas. This lock has been through snow, sleet, rain, thunderstorms, ten years of salt spray and even 2 Category 3 hurricanes with 133 mile per hour winds driving salt water spray and sand through the air for several hours. The locks still works like it did when it was new. I did spray it with WD40 once about five years ago, but that's all.

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

Our door is an outside thick metal door, not a screen or storm door. Did not work.

Sorry about the wait. This should work depending on what part of the door is warped and the position of the lock. Getting the dead bolt to lock properly are alway a concern when installing any type of weather stripping. This will work better than all of the other types that I have used (rubber, foam, etc.) I hope this info helps and good luck.

The particular model you are asking about is weather proof. I have 3 of the, installed outside my home. Other very close model numbers are not.

I've had no problem. It's water-tight, so it is safe to leave outside when it rains (even in heavy rain). The hinges are solid and the wiring stands up to the flexing in the door well.

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!

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.

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.

I wouldn't use it AT ALL in any weather! Mine was CRAP and failed to lock. Very flimsy. There are better alternatives.

I'm not sure how it will hold up for coastal use. Seems like a pretty solid lock, so might do okay for a while. I installed my on my garage side door and have really been enjoying it's convenience and funtionality. I don't beleive you would be able to change the lock code though. The instructions came with a preset combo and no info how to change this. It might be possible to get a matching key set, but not sure. Sorry I can't provide more details. The lock has worked great on my garage door and is very handy not to need your keys. Good luck.
