Would this work for an exterior door covered by a substantial porch? The door will have a deadbolt, so I don't want a locking lever.

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

I see no reason why it wouldn't work. It does have exposed screws so I would recommend putting those towards the inside to prevent any moisture/dirt from the exterior. You may have to switch the handles but that is pretty simple.

Yes. As a contractor building apartments the use you envision is what I do on every building. I've had no problems with the knobs themselves. You will have to adjust the strike plate because the bolt is designed for interior doors.

I would not use this on an exterior door. For a very few more dollars, you can get a lever that has a tongue and will hold securely when you close it. This dummy lock can be opened with a slight push, so I definetly wouln't be comfortable with one on an outside door, dead bolt or not.

Yes, that's the way I used mine. I have a 6' covered patio extending from a detached pool house. I put a Schlage keypad deadbolt on the door with one of these non-locking handles. It's been on for three years and still looks great.

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.

If it's lined up correctly in the installation when the door is closed a strong magnet pulls the pin into its locked position and keeps it there. Works almost too well. Pulling the handle to open requires some adult umph. So know this. Opening the requires 2 hands, one for this safety latch and one for the doors normal latch. So walking through with a rake is nearly impossible. It works well for safty if the door closes its locked.

I don't know that that is the best idea because the material is a little light. for an exterior door you might want one of the plastic door guards that you attach to the bottom of the door, hanging down.

Hi it should fit on a door this thick. The screws are long enough to mount to lock.

Yes, you want to look for a motor driven deadbolt lock. Amazon has a Kwikset model that works this way.

No, its a privacy lever. So one side will look like this, and the other side will have a push bottom to lock the door. Hope this helps.

It may work so long as the surface is smooth and non porous. You just need to be sure to have enough space to make the two metal rings meet so the lock can be used.

Hi, Joe, Thanks for your inquiry on the products. This lock is designed for front door or interior doors, not for exterior gate . The exterior part of the lock is water resistant , but inside it off the lock is not water resistant at all . LuminAir Products / KeylessPro team

It certainly isn't designed to work for that. I have used Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock ( Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock ) and it works better than you would think it would from its picture.

yes it does work perfectly, except for the fact that I cannot close my storm door with the lock in a vertical position. It must be perfectly horizontal or else it hits the handle on the storm door.

We have it for interior usage, with no possibility of exterior opening. So no I do not think that will work with an exterior lock... Extra purchase needed for that - This is an exit only bar and the purchase of a trim package is needed for exterior operation of the door.

In my opinion, it would be as secure as just having a regular lock there. So if you think that would be secure enough, than this would be as well. That being said, as long as your deadbolt and regular knob were drilled to a standard size, they should both fit. They end up close on the outside of the door, but it works. My door was pre-drilled when we bought it, and I thought it would not fit. It ended up fitting nicely.

I use mine on a 4 foot high, 3 foot wide door. I have a baby lock on the outside that worked for sometime, but when my son got older I upgraded to this. It's important to install close to center of the door. Two on a door would require two keys being used at once. Hope that helps.

I used it on the door that goes to my basement with no issue. I didn't think it was made for exterior doors to begin with.

This lock will work on a side walk in door, if the door thickness is there. I wouldn't recommend it for a rear door. good luck.

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.
