Would you trust this lock on a deep freezer outside to deter people from breaking in?

OUTSIDE i would have to say No. Its would be easy to cut off , Id buy a Steel one with a Bullet proof Padlock having it outside, but it works good in the house to keep people from wasting all your food,

No. The only purpose for the lock is to keep the door from being opened (either accidentally or anti-theft).

Unless you have an AC unit, I do not see how this will prevent someone from gaining access by removing the mesh, and manually removing both pieces from the outside facing window.One will be facing outside, for the intruder to unscrew himself.

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.

I haven't tried to break into it, but it feels VERY secure. It is a solid metal piece of hardware. Even if someone were to pry if off of the house I doubt they could open it. Hope this helps.

Yes, but it's more like a child's lock. You can use pretty much anything to break into it, way too easily.

Not on THIS particular one. I have another at my other home which I have a review on. That one has no lock either. "I" think it is not a good idea for locks in case you have to get back up quickly.

I would not consider it a high security however it has some features that make it suitable for our uses. It allows for multiple user codes so different people can be assigned their own code. We use it on out door rest room facilities at a small beach resort. This allows for guests to have access without letting random people off the beach to use. We also use inside to limit staff access to liquor room and restricted areas that may have a cash box or employee files. Do not recommend it as a primary access lock.

I think it could work really well. Just make sure your two locks use one key... otherwise you will go crazy as I was going between the freezer and the refrigerator lock...

The door handles do have holes through them that would let you put a lock on (not included). Of course, in this case, the whole shed is plastic including the handles, so it's not going to be very secure, regardless of a padlock on the handles. I believe, if I tried with both hands, I could rip a door off the shed from the hinge side. Don't get me wrong, I like the shed, but it's just not built for security. Just good for keeping odds and ends out of the weather.

I would agree with the other responses that the Door Club could not be removed by a hanger *under* the door, or even from the side of the door; however, I have glass in my front door, so if someone broke the glass to try and unlock the doors, and then found the door was still blocked, they could push out the rest of the glass and see the club, then use a hanger to lift the club up. It doesn't turn your house into a bank vault, but it provides excellent security that will hopefully deter most intruders.

DavidThis lock will have a characteristic of exterior weather resistance but i'd be somewhat concerned if the lock was in direct sunlight. The finish of most locksets would then deteriorate over time. So the answer again...it's good to go but get some cover over the lockset. Hope this was helpful.Jerry

Thank you for your inquiry. We have not had any customer that specifically said they were going to use this with a lock. Please contact us if we can be of any further assistance.

No. It is a bolt lock that you install inside the house. It is meant to keep intruders from breaking or to keep children from opening the door(I have a sleepwalker)

It didn't work to deter my teenagers, as they pulled hard and the "foam" padding ripped away from backing. That said, I had a "lock" on there that doesn't really look like a lock and they weren't paying attention and just grabber and yanked the door as usual (the door sticks, so we all used to giving it a good strong pull to open it under normal conditions). But to deter burglars?....just depends on how determined in burglars is. All they'd need to do is slip a sharp, thin knife between the metal piece and the door and cut the foam backing. Would I risk 1000s of dollars of food if I was using this on a restaurant fridge? No, I wouldn't, I'd figure out how to get some holes of some sort drilled into the fridge instead. Hope that helps! Good luck.

Yes, it will. How would the lock know if someone was inside or not? I think that's the case for any locking button, except for a deadbolt. That said, there is a slot on the outside, so you can unlock it with a coin or flat-blade screwdriver.

Yes. This is a very good lock, and when connected to an alarm service, entry is very easy. I love having this on my door.
