Is it weatherproof, can it be mounted in the open?

I would call it weather resistant. There are three side plates that just slide in so that it is your choice which side your cables enter. You could use a thin bead of silicone when installing those as well as the back plate after installing your cables. As long as you have your cables exit the bottom and then fill the area around the cable entry point with silicone I would be comfortable with it being exposed but I am no engineer or attorney on liability. I received no gasket mentioned in other answer unless they were referring to the internal shaft of the switch. The case had none.

Yes. It has a gasket to protect it from the elements. I have mine mounted outside on my travel trailer to quickly turn off my battery and there has been no issues.

It is not waterproof. I mounted mine right at the rear window near the top.

Not sure I would mount it outside unless it was enclosed. It would be very easy to disconnect and drain it for winter storage.

It's just a guess, but if the fixture in which it is mounted protects it from direct contact with the elements, I would say it is plausible for use out doors.

It is easily mountable however the weatherproofing of the clock works I'd a zip lock plastic bag which if exposed to continuous outdoor weather would not last very long.

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

No. This safe is not weather proof and not really secure at all for any type of outdoor installation. I would never recommend you attempt such a thing. This safe is ok, and I'm glad I have it to hide away some medium-value items to keep away from nosy roommates, babysitters, family members, children, etc. This safe would never deter and would barely slow down an actual criminal. Keep your money in a bank account.

No, your device is not protected. It just means that the mount is weather proof.

Hi Grahm, don't know if I have a full answer for you or not, mounted mine outdoor, not under any kind of cover, rain seems to be no problem, wind and sun either but I take them in for the winter because they are easy to reach. Don't know if that will help you or not.

Could be used outside in sheltered position but recommend treatment to protect hinges/ areas susceptible to corrosion. We mounted ours inside in shared hallways, which avoids any "unwanted" attention. Good luck.

Yes, as long as lid is closed. I have mine mounted in uncovered outside area.

It is not weather proof, so if it was mounted outside the operational life would probably be quite short.

It could be mounted on the outside. I'm not positive if its water resistan but If it is I'm sure it will probably rust a little. I have little tit on my windows and mounted it inside and it's extremely bright even through the tint!

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.

Yes, I have mine mounted outside under the eves and out of direct weather exposure.

Obviously it's made to be mounted out side. I don't think it could withstand constant water exposure but occasional moisture, wind blown rain, doesn't bother it. It's battery powered so if you are concerned about a shock factor there is none.

It can be mounted anywhere there is a 110 VAC outlet available. There is no reason it has to be mounted outdoors. Be aware there is a slight 60 cycle hum when it is turned on.
