Smart Locks for Outdoor Doors Exposed to Rain (AUSLOCK Weather Guide)

Sabit Esati |

Outdoor exposure checklist

  • Is the lock under cover (awning/eave) or fully exposed?
  • Does wind-driven rain hit the lock directly?
  • Is the door in direct sun for long periods?

Best practice

Even outdoor-ready locks perform best when protected by a small awning and correct sealing.

Recommendation

Tell AUSLOCK your exposure level and we’ll match you with the most suitable weather configuration.

I wish to instal a gate lock that permits me to do away with a key and hopefully has the security of using a code. I’m concerned that the gate faces direct north and gets very hot in summer. It will also be exposed to rain. It is not possible to erect any type of covering. Could you please advise me of the best product to instal.
Thanks
Sue
