Is this lock suitable for exterior doors?

What door thickness is this lock compatible with?
It is generally compatible with standard interior doors ranging from 35mm to 45mm in thickness, but always check the specific product manual for precise measurements.
Troubleshooting
Thumbturn is stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions in the mechanism. Ensure the door is not warped, causing misalignment. Lightly lubricate the spindle mechanism if necessary, using a silicone-based lubricant.
Release handle does not engage or disengage properly.
Verify that the spindle is correctly inserted and aligned. Check for any debris within the external release slot. Ensure the internal thumbturn mechanism is fully engaged or disengaged.
Lock does not provide adequate privacy (gaps).
This is likely due to the door or frame not being perfectly aligned. Ensure the strike plate on the door frame is correctly positioned and adjusted. This product is designed for privacy, not for complete soundproofing.
Satin nickel finish appears tarnished or discolored.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry thoroughly. For persistent issues, consult the manufacturer's warranty or support.
