What prevents someone other than the owner from using the "change screw" to alter the "schackle" or "key door" combination?

There is a different combination for that. Customer can't do it. One draw back - you need to remember both combinations.

You have to have it open "unlocked to use the change screw. I use this daily with two kids who do not have a key to loose now

Assuming that I fully understand your question: The lock has two combinations. One for the shackle, and another for the Door. The owner should not reveal the shackle combination which is required to change the door combination. Also, you need the shackle combination to remove the lock's upper U shaped attachment from the door.

The safe I received had the combination preset with no instructions on how to change it but I have read that it is possible with this model... I am not going to attempt that.

Yes, it can be changed numerous times. There is a pin that comes with the lock that you need to insert into the same hole that the end of the lock goes into. It's a hole within a larger hole, if that makes sense. The lock needs to be open of course. But once the pin is inserted, you set it to the combo you want and then remove the pin- which sets the new combo.

There are simple instructions - once the lock portion is removed, there are some rings that can be rotated to set the new combination. It does not come with a key. If you forget the key, grab a sledgehammer.

yes.... some home depots will do it.. otherwise.. go to your local lock guy.. it is a breeze especially if you have your key code to help... I had all 3 of my entry locks keyed alike..

Screws are attached directly. Heads are not concealed on the inside. Very satisfied with locks although the key reset is not as easy as it sounds. It took several attempts to get it right. I'm not sure what the other responder is talking about, but I have 3 of these purchased on two different occasions. I just re-checked and all have visible screw heads on the inside plate, just under the knob.

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.

It's changeable but the lock is so weak that a different combination doesn't matter or help. The shaft holding the lock together is a plastic tube and can be broken easily by prying with a screw driver. You don't even need to pry hard.

Yes you can change the combo and re-key the lock. There are no instructions on how to change the combo but it is possible. After some trial and error I was able to set mine to the combo I desired.

Hello, This is an electronic lock, and the combination can be changed at any time. Thank you. Securitybase.com

Great Question! This particular lock does not come in a keyed alike configuration and the manufacturer is telling me it cannot be re-keyed. I am sorry.

I don't see anyway you could disable it from the inside. It would have to be keyed entry on both sides for that to work. Sorry. :(

I've just spent two days with Kwikset "tech support" and they are clueless on how to reverse the lock operation for yours and my situation. I'm positive it can be done but they couldn't tell me how. Ended up buying the Schlage lockset Schlage FE595 CAM 619 ACC Camelot Keypad Entry with Flex-Lock and Accent Levers, Satin Nickel Best decision ever!

No. Not that I know of. Mine came factory set and there were no instructions on how to change it. I'd ask Stack-On on their web site to really make sure. Here's the link to Instruction sheet. http://s3.amazonaws.com/stack-on-production/downloads/63/Security_Safe_Manual_-_Combination_Lock.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=08CNY13ZYZNXTVEEJX82&Expires;=1391378306&Signatur;e=rn7GFV4%2BxsLA55O8ivdf%2FizQ1rU%3D

Unless they come in a set, I don't see how Schlage would make them with the same key. I've been looking for a set of locks using the same key/code.

Yes. This lock is separate from the door knob, so you can keep or use whichever door knob you prefer.

I am not aware if that is possible. It only takes the push of one button and a twist of a knob. I love that you don't need keys, no more getting locked out.
