Is IQ PowerG Door Lock waterproof?

Seems the new IQ PowerG Door Lock will solve a lot of security problems!

(IQ PowerG Door Lock - Surety)

If it is waterproof (both sides, not just one side), it could be used on tall gates, as well as just house doors.

Is it?

No it is a standard deadbolt and the interior portion is not designed for full outdoor exposure with a narrower operating temp and humidity range. The exterior portion has weatherproofing.

While a dedicated gate lock would be a great addition to the lineup given the range, the deadbolt is not designed for that.

Happy to suggest a full outdoor model.

Too bad! But the idea of replacing z-wave with a modern long range connectivity is still exciting.

Yes please!

Oh wait I think I misunderstood, you didn’t have a replacement in mind, you meant you could pass on the idea for future consideration. Yes, please do. Thanks.

But I’m fairly confident I can waterproof the back side, will write back in the forums if it works.
