Are these good for outdoor use? The padlock I'm currently outdoors using has gotten rusty.

this lock is going to rust over time, it holds up well but is not made of stainless steel or brass. If you want a rust proof lock I would think a brass lock would be better.

Should work just fine use these in extreme conditions good locks. Few drops of oil will help. Abloy padlocks are top of line much more expensive if you want the best.

I think they would work just fine I have been using these for a long time and the problem with them is that in a couple of years they rust off but for the price they might be your best bet.

The spring inside might rust. As for a chance of catastrophic failure, I highly doubt it. It is a sturdy cord lock and I have used them in them for years before having to replace them. I have two that have been on my dump sack since 2004.

Yes these will hold up in a marine environment they are vary durable. My only suggestion is once a year spray wd40 in all the holes of the lock and they will last as long as you want .have a great day

I can't verify if it's waterproof, but definitely designed for outdoor use!I have had it hanging from a rear garage exterior door for a couple of years with no problems.The keys are dry and the lock mechanism has always opened with ease every time.

Not that I have found. I bought these units to replace similar units with a 'master' lock on them. These were a little less expensive but, I liked that the locks were made of 'brass'. They held up a little better in salt water than the Master Locks they replaced. However, a shot of oil from time to time will keep them working. Have a good day.

They are heavy-duty locks. They can be ordered with the same key code. I don't know if they can be ordered with the same key code and same combination. I purchased two of these locks. They came keyed different and different combinations. Only one works using the combination dial. The other will not unlock using the combination that came with it. I have no idea how well they would hold up in salt water areas. Likely not too well as the internal steel parts aren't weather tight (sealed).

We ordered them for our squadron bar, and they are very sturdy. I think they would do well outside, but not sure if they would rust. Hope this helps

I used one (two, actually) on a POD (the official PODS company) that I had sitting outside of my house for 2 months. The POD's have 2 holes for 2 locks so I bought a second lock. They fit fine. It was rainy season, had no issues with them rusting. No issues whatsoever. I recommend.

I have them on a trailer in Montgomery, AL. They are holding up fine, but water does get into the bolt area and has created some rust. We'll see how long they last...I've had them about 1 year now.

Hello,We have checked with the manufacturer and they do not recommend having this outdoors unless they are covered. They may rust if they get wet. If you have some sort of patio covering, where they are under the shade constantly, then it may be alright outdoors. We do apologize we were unable to give you a specific answer. If you need anything else, please let us know.Thank you.

Hi....I would think as long as it is in a dry place it should be okay. However the combination lock would probably get ruined, in time, if it was in a damp or wet place.

I would think so. I ordered them for my boss at my last job. I worked in a diner. They were for the high traffic swinging door from the kitchen into the dining area- constantly being used. As far as durability- I would say yes. Don't know if they would rust or not. Hope this helped

Jwill, I can't say for sure. Mine show no signs of rust, but they are kept inside and dry. At the price I can not imagine that they are made of high quality stainless steel, so my guess is they will rust if left in an environment that would promote rust.

I have ours on our front porch all the time because it has become a great way to keep a hidden key outside. It stays on our front porch, but is covered. I think if it got rained on it would be fine, but if completely left unattended the metal could possibly rust eventually? This is a heavy duty lock, so I think elements would be fine, especially if you attend to it from time to time. Hope this helps.

All the locks I received are keyed alike. On another subject, those that I have used outdoors are rusting.
