Default Outside Door Hardware and Salty Air

My son wants to replace his outside door latches and handles.

At close inspection, he suspects the builder installed INTERIOR hardware and his EXTERIOR doors.
His house is 6 years and out of warranty.

He was told there is salt in our air from the Gulf or the ocean tarnishes our exterior
hardware. Is this possible?

Also, the hinges are exposed to the outside, where anyone could pop the hinges and take the doors off.

What do you think?
