[QUOTE="olympic, post: 16864952, member: 168598"] It's the temperature differential between the indoor and outdoor causing the lock to fill up with frost. The lock mechanicals are very small and delicate and it doesn't take much for them to stop working. These types of locks are really only suitable for warm climates or interior doors. I used a similar lock on my shop because I had multiple employees needing access. I got it to work in the winter months by installing a 12v light bulb inside to provide heat and prevent frost. The bulb was powered by a 120v to 12v wall adapter in a nearby outlet. It was ghetto AF but it worked lol! Now that I've sold my business I replaced the keyless lock with a regular door handle and a deadbolt. [/QUOTE]
