Can you use this for an exterior door?

if this door knob is the only source of locking the door then no you can't But if your using it with a deadbolt and you don't want to be locking two things like me then yes you can use it for a exterior door

yes, but why would you want to, as it is not locking. Look at the Keyed Entry Lever.

I don't see why not because my door frame is metal over sheet rock (I live in an apartment), which is my outside door, and it worked fine. The only thing, once you put the screw in, don't unscrew it. I did that to try n straighten it up then the threads were no good. Had to move whole mechanism to another spot. I really love it, tho. Mine was to keep maintenance people for entering whenever they felt like it. Hope this helps.

Hey,I would not use this for a metal door. It's much more suited for wood and specifically moldings and wooden doors. I'd expect it to bend under the strength of a metal door,. For that I would choose one of those large rounded wrecking bars rather than a flat bar. I do like this bar a lot and would still recommend it for lighter residential use. Good luck!

I installed it on my door from the kitchen to the garage and it was just cutting a hole and installing. But I think with an exterior wall you are going to have to cut some wood to shim the pet door depending if u have stucco or something other then just a solid piece of material to cut a hole through. You are going to have to make sure u don't have electrical or plumbing through the wall that you have in mind as well. I would seek professional help if you are thinking of cutting into one of your walls.

It "looks" like it should fit an exterior door. I looked at my interior door where I have my electronic door lock and visually compared the width of my exterior doors, and they appear to have similar widths. The keypad does light up for use at night/in the dark. To answer the "weatherproof" question, the best I can tell you is that one of the features the manual lists is "waterproof seals protecting electronic components". As long as you don't leave fingerprints on the buttons, I suppose you could use it on an exterior door. Just consider the risk of the possibility that someone could try to figure out the code all day/night while you are away/asleep because the lock does not include a shutoff/security feature for multiple failed passcode attempts.

Yes...we used it on three exterior doors, which open inward. Just choose the color carefully, as it is slightly visible from the outside (but not from the inside).

I think for exterior doors, you should really spend the extra money and get an exterior door knob.

Yes- if you go to the Schlage website, it has it listed with an keypad for exterior use: http://www.schlage.com/en/home/products/BE365CAMFFF-F10ACCFFF.html?bck=@@sch-us:brand/schlage@@sch-us:product/levers/keypad

I believe it would work fine. I do not think there is anything special about the standard lock hole and sizing on an outside door compared to an inside door. I know have added outside door locks to inside doors before (of different styles), this should be no different.

yes that will work... it comes with a piece of material to fill the gap between the interior/exterior sections if the door is too thick. realistically, if you can fabricate a spacer of appropriate width, there is no limit to the thickness of whatever install you have. It is entirely possible to install it through a wall, cinderblock fence, etc.

You know I'm not really sure. We used it on a interior door in an industrial warehouse building. I believe they sell similar items at Home Depot now so you can check with them if there's one in your area.

My applications for this product have always been through concrete walls. I believe that if you just use the outer portion of the door it would work for you.

I used it on an external door and lasted about a week. Sticky strip was not good for outside use. If you need onefor outside use on door, get one that screws onto bottom of door.

It could be used in a covered outdoor entryway. I would avoid exposure to sunlight and direct rain.

This cat flap is not really the kind you would want to use on an exterior wall, although you could make it work. I used it in a window and it was leading out to a covered porch. However i have 7 cats and i think it would be fine for a little wind. I have since purchased an exterior cat door ( had to get med dog door for fat cats) and it actually has 2 flaps with very strong magnets. If you are installing on outside of your house, that would be much better. However it cost 96. which is a lot more than brown cat flap.

I have not used it with a door yet. I would not use it with a flimsy door (hollow core), but I am a big guy. A good exterior door should work. Also make sure that you are pulling the door against the jam, not opening the door as you pull on it. Or use the dead bolt.

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!
