There is a key that over rides it. the best Western that we stay it has the safe in each room.

The safe comes with a master key that overrides the lock and opens the safe. It can then be used with a new combination.

It doesn't have a key card it has a built in key pad. The master key will give you access to open the safe. The code will be reset every time it is closed and the 4 number are entered.

You don't give them the override key . They swipe only or punch in a number.

Digital and key lock. You can use both for added Protection but I Just use the keypad lock and have the key as override in case digital lock fails

You would need to have a locksmith rekey the lock. It cannot be rekeyed with a master key.

Haven't you all just verified for crooks how to reset the code and therefore have made any security the lock claims invalid? Am I missing something?

The directions to change the combo came on a single page with the box. If you lost it, look online to compare pictures of the exact locking mechinism model your specific safe came with (I'm not 100% sure if every safe uses identical lock models). Once you found the locking model number download a new set of instructions from the manufacturers website. Furthermore, I couldn't find clear instructions on how to locate the module that holds the combos in order to reset them in the event they were compromised, or you want to change them. To find that module you must have the safe door open, and nothing in the pockets. There are several Philips screws holding the fabric liner around the border of the safe door. Remove them all and remove the liner. The module is behind it. Than follow the model specific instructions retrieved from the Web to clear the memory and reset the lock mechinism codes back to stock.

There is a location for a padlock. We use a simple Masterlock when traveling.

You have to have both. Recognize that the "combination" is just one location on a dial. Just try them all until it works. The security is that if the safe is opened without using the key, the alarm goes off. It is not really designed to prevent unauthorized access. You need a real safe for that.

Yes you can scramble the letters and leave it unlocked. You just snap it shut to lock it again. I do this all the time. I also allow other people to get in by giving them the combo. Then I change it when I get there.

A question came to me regarding a request to key 4 locks all the same. I do not know if that is possible from the producer. I wanted to do the same and then decided for security reasons it was better to key each lock separately. I marked my keys and locks 1 through 4 and it is easy to keep them straight.

There is no master key. I also had a very hard time locating customer service number, and was on hold a very long time before I just hung up. I would say just dont forget the combo!!!!

That means its a Kwikset key blank used. So if you were to ever get a duplicate key made they would use a KW1 blank for it. Also you can have them rekeyed (the locks) at most hardware stores, but most likely they will come different.

It has a temporary password that will work 1 time for someone like a valet or a teenager driver, after they use it and gain access it will reset and the password will no longer work, keep in mind your "master" pass code will always work, it's a great security feature if you want to share the vehicle for a short time. I installed it because my vehicle's security will lock the doors after 5 minutes so if I warm up my car leave a d return I was locked out. Now you can start your car, warm it up, lock it and come back to it without never being locked out.

Lisa I can not do that with my safe because it only has one code I thank all safes that are this model are like that. A higher price safe would have that function but you will have to shop around to get a good price safe with that function.

There's one physical key which I'm sure you can have copied.You can have one master code, and multiple guest codes.

Don't change the combination while it has been open, maybe? I don't have any problem and I have 2 Home Health Aids that come on 3 visits per day every day of the week. Since I got this lock box, replacing one I had made myself, no one is telling me of a problem with it.

You can open it with just the combination. Key is just added security, don't use it myself. what if you hide it and forget where it is?

I purchased one on an auction website and it came without the manual key. I figured I'd change the batteries every few months so i wouldn't ever be locked out. For whatever reason, my safe never gave the indicator warning the installed batteries needed to be changed - I was locked out! After I tried unsuccessfully to get key replacements from Barska, I ended up ordering the external battery powered backup accessory from Barska for about $20. It runs off of 4 AA batteries and plugs directly into a port on the side of the Biometric "dial" on the door. I highly recommend getting it just in case the keys get misplaced. Just remember not to keep the back-up in the safe...lol. I purchased one on an auction website and it came without the manual key.
