One thing to do on an outside lock is to have some sort of a flap over it to protect from weather. Saw plenty of leather flaps over locks back in the day. Sometimes the old ways still work in today's world! Just my 2 cents.
I think a leather flap would have a higher Spousal Acceptance Factor than the piece of inner tube that others have mentioned on this thread. It may not last longer but I would.
