Is this latch suitable for exterior doors?

Troubleshooting
Latch is difficult to operate
Ensure the latch mechanism is correctly aligned within the door. Check for any obstructions in the latch hole or strike plate. Lubricate the mechanism lightly with graphite.
Door doesn't close properly
Verify that the strike plate on the door frame is correctly aligned with the latch bolt. Adjust the position of the strike plate or the latch forend if necessary. Ensure the door is not warped.
Latch bolt sticks
Clean the latch bolt and its housing. Check for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the forend plate is flush with the door surface.
