Does the safe open once you enter the correct passcode, or do you then have to turn the metal knob?

Yes you have to turn the knob to pull the bolts back to open the door. (I chose it because it has a nice interior and it is deep)

No, just twist the lock. You only have to enter the code if its locked and you want to open it. I hope that answers your questions and I'm sure you'll love this lock, its awesome to not have to carry keys with you. Also, since its mechanical, you wont have to deal with the problems that I've had with the battery operated units. They're problematic and this one is trouble free!

You will need to open it with the key. Hopefully you didn't store the key inside the safe. Then after it is opened, start over again with the fingerprint recognition based on instructions.Just in case someone else happens to see this problem, I have had the unit for several years on the same battery ( I suppose I should change it soon) , and still reading my original fingerprint. I think your scenario is probably very unusual. It has been a very good and reliable unit for me.

The safe should still lock as long as you turn the standard key counterclockwise. If I the safe door is out of adjustment the lock will not engage. Try wiggling the safe door while turning either key counterclockwise to be sure to engage the lock. Also ensure the lock works by opening the safe door then turn the key counterclockwise, then turn the key clockwise again to ensure the lock is staying locked

My safe also came with a key to open the safe, the only thing was once I put the key in it wouldn't come out. Not much of a safe if you can't remove the key!

Yes. The safe comes with instructions showing you how to set up your own combination, which you can change at any time.

Yes, this safe comes with a manual and two keys. The round lock pad has a tab on the side -- press the tab and twist the pad to pop it off an expose the key hole.

You have to re-enter the code. In fact, you can't reinsert the box in its receptacle without re-entering the code. (Big Mack's answer appears to apply to a different model -- there is no knob to turn.)

you can reset the code by using the key to open the door to find the reset red button inside the safe.

It seems that I do have to push the open button after entering my code a second time quite a bit now that you mention it. It usually doesn't require re-entering the code. Overall I have been very satisfied with my purchase though. I hope this helps.

Well, Not enought information, But I will try to answer the question, First to use the key you have to take the Key pad off the safe, I think it uses a phillips to remove the pad, Then back-up key lock is exposed to open door, If you forgot your password that is how you open the safe, To reset password you have to use the red button inside to reset, read the manual.

One minute. Its best to unlock it before you go to bed. Wakingp up suddenly and mistyping the passcode is going to happen.

No; the radio stores the password. I have had to re-enter once in the past year I had the radio.

There is a standard assigned passcode to open it and set your own. This is all in the instructions you should have received with the safe, along with two physical keys that can be used if the code does not work or if the battery needs to be replaced.

There is a 4 digit key pad that you can use to instead of the biometric unit. Also the safe comes with a key back up in case the batteries die you can use the key to get into the safe.

Either or would work.. Key or pin code. I personally use the pin (key pad ) entry. And the key for the safe. It is a nice unit for the cost.
