Yes anyone can open it you need to buy a small lock it has holes for it but the holes are smaller than a standard lock

I had the same problem. This thing is very secure which is good unless the combination fails to work. I tried drilling the spot welds off the hinge which sort of worked but after much struggle and dull drills I finally just tore at the thing with a large screw driver and crow bar. After about 1/2 hour of struggle I finally got it open. I now use a key-lock key safe.

No, it doesn't lock open if you pull or push it all the way. There are other brands here in Amazon that offer that feature.

It just opens but does not lock into place. I've never had a problem with it falling though. I have had a problem and had to put the screwback ended a couple of times

Yes the door will come off of the hinges. The safe must be open. There are two bushing that ride between the door hinges and the safe body. Don't lose them when you remove the door. Also, the door is heavy so use patience or a helper to realign the door pins. The both have to be in-line before the door will drop into place. There is no offset. DW

The SS latch and hinge will install to a cooler where the pin has (2) mount holes at either side of pin. I recommend this product as the latch hinge is SS and is the weak link to the hinge. These latches should be standard equipment on coolers.

Yes. I just tried, and if the little black ends of the lid hinges are pushed, the top stays open! Hey! I didn't even know that! Glad you asked.

Hi, I have bought two of this cabinet. The first one was two years ago. Looking at them, they have different hinges. The first one has a more expensive looking scissor type hinge. The second is a basic pin type. I would ask for a whole new set, or look at the side of the cabinet where the hinges mount. Is it bent? They both seem like they are self closing, so if it doesn't close all the way, there must be something wrong with the hinge. Hope this helps.

It will not hold the door firmly in one place like a door stop. It can be set to swing the door open or swing the door closed. You can adjust how fast and hard it does this with a set screw. I use one of these hinges in the center of my junky, builder's grade pressed cardboard bathroom door and it gently swings it closed. You can use multiple hinges and set the tension higher for heavier doors or for a more forceful close. Basically, it's just a door hinge with a coil spring on the pin. There is no mechanism on the hinge itself to lock the door in one position. You are just adjusting the tension to open or close the hinge. I think it works well for it's intended purpose.

Hi, turn to unlock and pull upward on each hinge. might even pry it up with a screw driver between the two parts on the hinge. mine was difficult too, it kinda of pops off when it does come off.

Mine hinge on the right just cracked and I don't know how to fix it either. by the way, the pin on that hinge was never inserted through one of the holes, just a bit of plastic on the right was holding it together, and that was what cracked.

Mine came with no locks, it has the posts that stick through the latch where I can use my own locks. But the current picture looks different than mine (in the area of the latches and locks), it looks like there is a key hole and no posts that stick through the latch.

To answer that question I would say that it is a slip open. It mounts against the wall and will open up and snap shut.

I asked my friend to help. What you need to do is make sure the pin is through the hole first, then you have to align the two snap closures and press extremely hard till you hear them click. I really think you need 2 people, as the pin kept slipping out when I did it alone and you have to make sure those closures are perfectly lined up in order to press them into place. Good luck!

Yes, mine stays open... I have mine sitting right up against a wall and in that position it stays open..however if it is positioned a few inches from a wall you push on the locking hinges and it locks open..locks on both sides.I like mine. I am a heavy gal and it supports me very well. I have many bags of orchid supplies in mine..lots of storage space.

Yes. It took a couple of minutes to figure out (to see where the locking pins are), but it was pretty easy. If something does not move easily, there is probably a pin holding it in place. Find the pin to release it.

There is a lid. It is somewhat flimsy and it just pops on. It isn't a real heavy lid that locks. I think these are pretty nice little safes to hide a few things; cash, keys to another safe, a few pieces of jewelry. Things of that nature.
