Can I use my LOQED smart lock outside or on a gate?

Why LOQED smart locks are intended for normal exterior doors, not outdoor gates or fully exposed installations.

Applies to: LOQED Touch and LOQED Pure.

No. LOQED smart locks are designed for exterior doors of houses and apartments where the inside module is mounted indoors.

Why gates and outdoor installations are not supported

  • The inside motor module and electronics are not designed to be permanently exposed to rain, frost, direct sunlight or condensation.

  • LOQED Touch has a weatherproof outside Touch Display, but the inside housing must still be installed on the dry inside of a door.

  • LOQED Pure is installed around the inside cylinder/rosette and must also be protected on the inside of the door.

  • A few raindrops when opening the door are not a problem, but permanent outdoor exposure is not supported.

For a gate or another fully exposed installation, use hardware that is specifically rated for outdoor gate use.
