Can it be used outside? can it stand open rain beating 60 days in the year?

Technically, "yes" if you turn the fingerprint reading upside down. In that way the water is not coming directly to the reader so make sure you clean your finger when scanning.

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.

Not sure it did not hold up from one year of sun exposure. It only rained 3 inches this year.

We have left this outside many times and it stands up to the rain and sprinkler system just fine. If it starts to get windy we just unhook it from the sides and bottom and closed it like a curtain. During the winter we did take it down and stored it.

Yes, but do remember that it is electric. You do not want it subjected to wet weather. The outside is a sturdy plastic so it should be fine outdoors.

No,it is not intended for outdoor use, however if it is placed where it will not be directly exposed to the elements, it should be fine. If you place it under a porch, gazebo, or similar protection, so that it isn't soaked by a rainfall, there should be no worries.

It has lasted through several storms here in Iowa without any issue. It's ok open in the wind/rain but I have kept it closed when I'm not using it.

Yes, first clean the area then use a putty knife and try to work it into the pin holes. Then cover the area with a thin coat and let it dry. It should hold up to sun and rain with no problems. It is not made for a walking surface. Good luck.

We live in Florida and use it inside not outside. I think you could, would you want to bring it in if it was gonna rain.

I don't see why you couldn't use it outside. It might not hold up as well, but they are not that expensive. If it doesn't hold up to the weather buy a new one.

It is designed to be used outdoors. I have not had an issue with it in the rain or the snow.

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.

It would hold up in the sun and rain. But I'm not sure the seals are tight enough to keep the water out. It doesn't look air tight. We used it in the garage.

i think it can be used outdoor if there is no rain ,if not , it only can be used indoor

I wouldn't recommend for outdoor use unless it was a covered area. I don't think the wood could handle any rain and it's not heavy enough to stay standing in wind or even a strong breeze.

Yes it can be used outdoors but it must be protected from rain and snow such as on a covered porch. I have one high up on a covered porch so not water hits it through this cold winter in PA and so far no problems. If not protected from water it cannot be used outdoors.

Yes and no. I leave mine out year round and open. It has held up well in FL sun, rain and bipolar weather but now is the time to replace it. The next one I plan to spray with that new rain guard to prevent it from being destroyed. It has held up good in the rain. Water rolls off the edges.

No. This would not last outside. The top is wood and the metal is not sturdy enough for out side.
