is this suitable for mounting outdoors, like on the garage door frame?

Yes, I mounted mine on the outside, on the garage door frame, and have had no problems with it. I'm not sure what the manufacturer recommendations are on outside mounting but the unit would not be useful if not outside and easily accessible. I thought about keeping it out of any direct sun but I'm not sure how important that factor is. It mounts flush and when in the closed position is very snug.

absolutely - that is what it is for. I mounted it on the garage door frame - works fine - the cover protects it.

Yes, it is suitable for outdoor conditions as long as it's not soaked or put in direct contact with water. I just purchased this keypad recently, so I don't know what the sun will do to it. As long as it's away from the path of the moving door.

Yes, that's exactly where I have mine mounted. I mounted it on the side closest the street so you can barely see it from the street. Good luck. Kenny

Yes. Ours is mounted outside on the frame so our daughter doesn't have to carry a house key. The view shows it open, but a lid closes over it to protect it from the elements.

It is used for exactly that. .an outdoor keypad. It comes with instructions for proper assembly

Absolutely, that's what their designed for. The cover protects it from the element's and is easily mounted

We mounted ours on the top of the full sized exterior door and it works fine. You could even mount it on the inside of the door frame and that would also work well. Note that the motion sensors are pretty sensitive and will pick up motion as much as 20 feet away (the distance goes up the higher up the door you go).A good product, good recommendation.

It is designed to be mounted in a garage or shed. They make outdoor models if you need to put it outside.

It is made of heavy duty plastic, so the unit itself would be fine for outdoor use, providing you have a wall or surface that you can mount it on.

Definitely not as the frame of the construction has to be resting on the outside of the door frame. So it would not be possible to open the door if it was mounted this way.

Yes! Mine is installed on a wall in my garage. Depending on where I am working, I just grab it and swing it left or right. Just make sure you attach the mount to a stud!

I don't recommend this for outdoor use. However the adhesive sticks well to metal but can be removed.

To be honest with you, I don't think I would. It does have some metal objects that may rust and then shorten the life of the shade. I installed mine outside of course but the mount is under the patio overhang to protect it from direct sunlight and water. I'm not an expert this is just my opinion.

Yes, I have it mounted outside. It's been there for 1 year and still works.

Ours is for outside on a tree but if you have the right support it should be fine. It's too wide for a door way though. Excellent quality!

Yes, this is for outdoor use only. This must also be hung at least 30-45 feet from your home and at least 5 feet off the ground.

if you are really mounting a barn door you might want to look for appropriate "galvanized" hardware for that purpose. This hardware for indoor applications. Check Home Depot or Lowes.

Yes, it is fine outdoors. I live in MD. and I have this on my outside garage door. It has rained, been freezing cold, and burning hot. It still lights and works just fine.

No the bracket is for door frame mounting. You will have to customize your particular requirements.

Yes, I purchased this item and it is mounted outside and looks great. It can be mounted to any surface.

We have ours mounted to solid wood outside on the porch. Perhaps with anchors it would be ok mounted to drywall. The hooks themselves are pretty heavy duty.

I'm not sure that I would use it outdoors. The hinges and moving parts would probably rust over time. It would be fine in a garage or covered area. It's a great unit, very easy to assemble, very sturdy and attractive. Purchased 2 more!
