there is an overide key that you insert to turn the dead bolt manually..you can attach this key to the rest of your keys on your keyring

They provide a couple of keys to manually open the lock. There is also a warning beep to remind you to change the batteries when power gets low.

It will alert you a long while before they are dead, and there is always a key slot to use as a backup.

it does come with 2 keys,very hard to program,and sometimes it just goes crazy and it takes you 20 min to get it to work

The small cap is removable and a regular key can be used. I also want to say this lock quit working after about 6 months of use and had to be used with key only. I have since switched to a Kevo lock and highly recommend it instead.

There is a way to manually open the lock from the inside using a standard deadbolt lever, and there is an emergency key that can be used from the outside. However before the battery completely dies, the device will let you know long in advance by beeping.

Make sure your doors are closed and locked. Make sure batteries are good and are charged. I have had no issues with mine.

external battery pack is keep in safe place. If batteries die, just plug in the battery pack and it will power the door until you can repalce internal battery.

If you're looking at the front- (where there is a silver circle button to turn it on), turn it around, and the lower back side, where the silver bottom is higher up along the blue, there is a tiny little button, that if you push, it pops open the battery chamber. Just turn it around, and feel the silver back side, and you'll see: feel it. It's super easy once you see it. Battery directions (+, -) are written on it, and labeled on batteries as well! Let me know if you need more help!

Keep in mind the door is always locked. The battery is only used to unlock the door, and then it goes back to lock. If you have a dead battery, the codes do not work, and you must use a key to open the door just as you would have to do if you did not know a code and the battery was good. I do not believe you have to re enter codes with a dead battery, as it is saved in memory.

I do not have a problem opening the battery door. If you have a finger nail, that should do the trick.

At the back end of the white body of the jar opener is a little door that you must push to the left. Behind the door are the batteries. Be sure to put the new ones back the way the old ones came out.

Make sure you change both batteries at the same time. Do the one on the door first. Also I had one that quit working and the company sent me a new one in just a couple of days. Have not had trouble since. Really good customer service. It does have a warranty.

Take it off of the door. You will be able to see the battery compartment on the back.

We took the batteries out, put cover back on and tried pushing the button but it will not open and only says "goodbye" Help!!

body is sealed. can not open without breaking. probably a button cell. after 3 years it still works great. don't worry about the battery. you will probable lose it, before the thing dies. then you can carefully force it open and try to replace the battery for another 4, 5, or 6 years!!

Larryyou cut the door off, which I have had to do when the electronic solenoid failed (Sentry has a weak solenoid that will eventually fail). Please read the reviews on this, they are seriously prone to failure and once they fail you cannot open the safe unless to use a saw to cut it openthanksleonard

This safe does have a key to open it. It primarily runs is off of batteries, but it will come with a key to use when you first receive it and the key will work when the batteries fail. So, to answer your question, the safe will remain locked when the batteries die, but once they get low, you will see a red light on the front of the safe and that is an indicator to change the batteries before they completely die.

Funny you should ask - mine died, and I was unable to find a replacement battery. Had to buy another phone. Another challenge - I live in a building that has door access via the telephone, and the tones that the phone generated wouldn't open the door. It's very attractive, though...

There is a simple battery door on the back side. Unlock it and place the batteries in.

Battery doors are in bottom. There are 2, one set on each side. There is push clip on front side of door,,,just push it toward middle, while pulling up simultaneously. Just a fingernail in slot should do it easily. Mine were so loose, I have to put scotch tape over the retaining clip on the door, or the batteries fall out while in use.

When your house power goes off and your connected components turn off at the sametime usually your battery is dead.
