Any suggestions on how I can open this safe?

It is tricky but explained in the directions. Push down on the top or lid with one hand while also pulling up on the red release button with the other. I am not sure you even need the keys!

I returned it because I could not open it. Tried everything I could think of following the instructions. I came to me looking repackaged and had dents on the top and no scuff marks around the keyhole, which suggested that the first buyer couldn't open it either.

It is really hard to open the first time with the cardboard in there. I laid my arm across the front (above the latch pushing down) while over top of it, while I put my fingers up behind the red pull up button. You will hear the lock click open. It is really tight from the suction. You have to push down with your forearm hard the first time, after that it is a bit easier.

I asked my family that I gave it to and my son in law said you have to push down on the lid and squeeze up on the handle at the same tim

The locking mechanism seems to be all metal based on what I can see. As far as being able to pry it open with a screwdriver, I have no idea. I've never tried to. Seems reasonably solid to me but I'm sure someone could pry it open if they had the mindset and adequate tools.

I honestly don't know. I have since disposed of the unit but don't recall seeing an easy means of opening it (i.e. in a manner similar to oscillating fans)

To add a code you need to press a button on the inside of the safe.. Which obviously needs to be open first before you can do it .

No. Apparently a VERY long time ago you could. The rumor still persists. You need the key or combination to open the little safe. These safes are a real bargain. If I needed another small safe I'd buy it again. - j.

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

I wouldn't buy one. The items might fit, but the safe will be safe" from you, the owner. Very well made safe, but the lock and key is very cheap and not made well. I had to send mine back because it wouldn't open!

There should have been a big zip lock plastic bag attached to your handle with your paperwork and 2 keys in it. I can't find my paper work at the moment. Try pressing 159# or 123#. If one of those sets of numbers is right, there should be a series of beeps then a green light will come on. then just turn your handle and open it. If you get it open and the keys are not there I would return the safe.

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

you need either a fingerprint or combination code to open it. the physical key is used to completely lock the safe, so neither of those 2 methods can be used, but it cannot be used by itself to open the safe

I never had a problem opening the safe. You just can't forget the code or you are locked out for a few minutes. Had to replace the batteries only one time, which is easy. Never thought about finger pad not working. Hope I wont have to find out.

I guess you mean the code is inside the safe...I do not know of a way....if you send the identifying numbers for the safe to the manufacturer together with proof of purchase, they may be willing to give you the code possibly...

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 cut the plug off and installed a snap on plug. You can also run a light extension cord into the safe and use a snap on or wired female end.

Try prying it open with a screwdriver or a butterknife.try pressing it down then pry up.

Call tech support at the company that made the safe. They recommended this lock for a Gardall safe and it worked like a charm.

It should open easily by just pulling it out.. That part does not have a lock so you're right.Try to pull it a bit hard but not too hard.. it tends to get stuck a bit sometimes.. but if it still does not open, contact the seller it might be defective.
