can one just use the key and ignore the combination so the owner can gain quick entry.

Like one of the others said, if the dial is left in the right position, you can just use the key. It kind of defeats the purpose of a safe, though.

Yes. If you enter the combination, and are careful not to bump the tumbler, you can leave it locked with only the key.

Hi, I bought this.. Its very James bond. You can use the override anytime, if you forgot the combo, it doesn't work right whatever..i haven't needed to use it. But, there is a magnetic feature, that the key adheres to that covers the keyhole, and then, you can use the key

I'm no locksmith, but I believe you could have all your locks re-keyed to use a single 'master' key, if you wanted...sure.

As I recall the key has 6 locations so any combination of the locations can be used. I think that is about 6,000 possible combinations that can used so that would mean that the chance that someone would have a key for your lock is quite slim. It is hard to say just how many combinations the lock maker uses but you should be safe from any problem with someone having the same key.

The key can unlock the safe without the code. If you use the code you do not need the key

Yes, you can use the key to unlock it. But I tried to avoid using key because if you don't insert the key right into the keyhole, you scratch the area around it and that makes the lock look ugly.

Yes. Punch in to open it .. Punch again to close it .. & this one has no key only combination.. Plus it's worth it to keep a lot of keys inside so you won't misplace them. Very good with keeping my safe key in here . Enjoy Caro!

Only need the key if you turn the key to the locked position and remove it.

Theoretically you can, if you keep the combinations set at 000, 000. Unfortunately if the dials move whatsoever while in transit, they're would be no way for your friend to decifer how to get the code back to 000, 000 without some assistance. I would avoid the combination lock for your friend if possible.

Hi, this does not require a key to be left in it. You will retain both keys after programming the unit.
1789029
Yes. In fact if you need to close within a few seconds, all you do is punch the o instead of the entire 4 digit code! Also you can stop the door at any position by entering the 0 !!7

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.

I don't know about changing the combination but you can use only the key to lock and open the safe. The key lock only seems easy and secure enough.
1481299
Yes, you can change the master to any normal key without the don't duplicate text. Also why not just use one of key copying machines

Unfortunately the model that I bought locks and I need to leave the key in so it can be opened without punching in the code. I believe that there is another model which doesn't lock automatically that I wish that I've bought.

I went back to the manual to answer this. U can enter as little as a 3 digit combination up to a maximum of 6. But they are better described as inputs since each input can also be a combination of 2 or all 4 buttons pressed together at the same time. So it is pretty impossible to get into this thing if u don't know the combo. As far as invalid entries go, it just beeps quickly 3 times and the LED light blinks red instead of green when the wrong inputs are entered. U can try again immediately without having to clear anything. Takes like 1 second and u can try again. This thing rocks.

You can use either a combination or a key type on the hasp. Very heavy duty, grandson loves it.
