if the batteries die, can you still open it manually?

You can open it manually but it has a very small handle on the lid and if your fingers are oily it will be difficult.

Some times. The first one we got was DOA, the second one failed a little later. When it failed, (not dead batteries) sometimes the lid was locked open, sometimes (most frequent) locked closed, sometimes free-wheeling.

Yes you can. Just grasp in by the small handle and pull it open then close it back. I sometime turn my batteries off because my cocker spaniel sometimes hops up so it will open .
102869
Yes, you can turn off that feature too. It has a lid with a little handle on top

Absolutely, there is a small handle on top of the trash can and it opens manually quite easily.

NO - The manual says to remove the batteries if it is not going to be used for a while.

This gives you a way to open lock in event of power failure, dead battery in remote opener, or opener / lock malfunction.

Batteries do not need to be taken out. Once can is open the opener should stop. Then take off the top from the opener.

I think you can use it without the batteries and manually adjusted to open both ways. I don't know why you would do this though.

According to the manufacturer it is not, it's called planned obsolescence. They don't want you to change it because you are not going to buy a new one and it's bad for the business.Technically it is possible to change it, spare batteries are available on Amazon and elsewhere and you will need to know how to use a soldering iron.As one guy with a bloody bandage on his finder was demonstrating how it was done on YouTube, "It is possible, but it requires a bit of skill" he said.

Yes, a manual unlock from the inside exists. You can pull down on the release cord and manually open the door. Once the cord is pulled down the opener will freely allow the door to open from inside or outside. There is no way that I am aware of to unlock the opener from the outside without pulling the cord first. There arother openers with a battery backup that work when the power is out but this one does not have a battery backup.

Yes-manually ... there is a red 'T' handle on a short piece of rope you pull to disengage the chain ... you then open and close the door like you did before you had the opener attached. It is easy to re-set once the power is restored. My wife just had to do this this past weekend when the power was out and I was at the Fire Hall.

You can reset it. Their is a tiny tab by where you insert the batteries. You have to push it with an ink pen.

I can't say for sure. There are four small screws on the back. It's possible that you can get at the battery by removing them, but the instructions don't say anything about replacing the battery, so you would be on your own. Since the warranty is only 90 days, if the battery dies beyond that time, you have nothing to lose by trying.

sorry took so long. not sure what happens, batteries haven't died yet but I believe it stays locked. You get 2 keys to manually open safe if batteries die or code is forgotten.

No. The battery compartment is hinged. It will flip out. The just touch the hole on the underside of the battery compartment. The battery will pop out for replacement.

open the little plastic battery holder and you'll see how they set in there. Take the dead batteries to an electronics or hardware store, buy new ones, and re-set. It was easy.

There is a battery compartment in the back which has a philips screw. I have never tried opening it. But I guess if you opened yours and could find a replacement replacing the batter would be possible. I am sorry the answer isnt more complete.

If the battery were to go dead I would just use my key to enter the house. My deadbolt and doorknob are set for the same key and there's a hide a key outside in case the regular knob gets locked by mistake.

Yes, waiting until the battery is totally dead....or close as possible....seems to help batteries like this last longer each day well as for the life of it.
