Can this be used on an outside door? The description says weatherproof but the video says interior door...

Yes, they are completely weatherproof and are made for outdoor use when installed properly. I use them on outside security gates with no issues.

This is for indoor use. Having said that, I have had two outside under some eaves for three years now, outside of direct exposure to the elements. I know full well that, one day, some weather event will probably knock them out. If you need an outdoors version, there is an alternative weatherproof model from Sharx Security. I have one of those too - it's great!

Hi Tammy, I would not recommend it for exterior use, unless you have storm door. It is not really water proof. Imagine two rods of foam, covered with dress shirt fabric. That's sort of what this is like. I don't think I'd want it to get wet. I'm also not sure if it would close properly since threshold doors usually have a little strip on the bottom of the door frame. If it were my front door, I would maybe try to find a weather strip of rubber or one like this that has just a single rod of some kind to attach to the inside of my door.

Don't think it's rated for outdoor but I have one outside under the roof of our entry door

I do not believe it is weatherproof. It works fine sitting on a dashboard under the window glass...

It's probably about 85% weatherproof out of the package. I installed mine on an exterior door to my shop, but I, personally, put a small shield on a hinge above mine to keep rain & snow off of it. Have had it for 3 months in Oklahoma weather & it is working fine & I have really enjoyed having it. It's possible that an ice build-up could make the buttons not work. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't personally use it out in weather! You may find a way to cover it or modify installation, but this is an indoor product.

I use it indoors. I know they make specific ones for outdoors that can withstand the weather. This one did not advertise itself as an indoor/outdoor.

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.

While this could be used on practically any door, it would likely interfere with the weatherstripping on any entry door. You would be better served by a door knob cover/lever lock.

It is supposed to be indoor or outdoor. But I wonder, especially with the connector, if it's good to have it exposed to direct rain. We have ours mounted on a covered porch. I'd wrap the connector in electrical tape or heat-shrink tubing and mount it under the eaves.

You can mount it on the outside of the door as long as the door opens to the outside. This unit pushes the door closed.My only concern would be how it will hold up to the elements. It is not a sealed unit and could possibly rust in time.

This unit would not be practical to mount on the outside of a door, particularly if expesed to the weather. Also, it could easily be removed, so there is a security problem. Technically, it could do that whiich describe.

I would recommend it as if its rainy and windy then water can get inside the door and cause water damage to the inside of your wall, unless you are going to use some other waterproof material to prevent water damage from happening on the interior of the wall

As long as there's not a lot of traffic by the door. I use mine outside and had to be creative to keep it from going off every time the wind blew anything around it. Hope this helped :)
