How do you close the safe?

When you shut the lid and turn the key, a latch comes up to hold top closed. The problem is that anyone with a safety pin can unlatch without key in seconds. I couldn't believe it and tried it myself. It works as fire protection, but I would not depend on it as a safe for valuables or keeping medications from children.

it was the perfect size of what I was looking for and the price. I wouldn't get it because the lock does not work correctly. I have a hard time opening the safe when needed to.

Hi Kathleen....ours closes very easily. Opening is a little harder. You have to pull up on the latch first.

Push down really hard. I had to sit on it the first time to get it to close. It gets easier over use.

We could not open the 1st one either. We called, they replaced. Then we could not open next, and so on. The 4th one atleast you could get key to turn. We gave up as we worried if we had so many with problems that maybe if locked, we could not re-open. They have big problem and should not b selling until they get fixed. We wrote evaluation to help stop people from going through what we did. Send it back.

Just drop the lid down, press down and it auto-snaps shut. You can then also use the key to lock it.

It is one whole open area inside the safe. It would be difficult to stuff it from the slot completely full, but almost.

Use a pair of pliers and gently twist the knock-outs. They are scored so they'll snap off. The cover should close all the way and latch after you close it.

A reviewer said this: Press the red button on the back of the door after you open the safe, enter up to an 8 digit code and then you are set. I had to press either the R or B button after too for mine to work.

generally the factory sets a code of "1,2,3,4,B as a fctory code. once you get it open. you can then set your own code to reopen the safe.

Just use it. do not have to do anything, once it is opened it stays open until you close it.

there is a key included with the safe to open it in case the battery dies. Just don't lose the key!

inside the safe itself, I think right under the door there is a little red button. Click on that button. it will allow you to reset. Then type in the code. Let me know if you have any trouble.

this may not help much, but there was a push of the knob before turning to the secret number, which is on the bottom of the safe. it is tricky for sure, but once we got it, worked easily,however, once you get it open ...keys very hard to use. we bent the key trying to open. I wish I hadn't thrown away all the packing, to send it back. sorry

The only place you need to be careful is right next to the magnet on the door. Just move those and it probably will close. Also if you have too many large necklaces they may interfere with the other side closing but not often. Move them around a little and it will close.

To close the lid, just put it back on, use your thumb & middle finger and squeeze the side until it pops to close.

Hit the # key. You'll hear a 'click' and then open up the safe. I've had this safe for years and haven't even had to change out the batteries yet.

Well you can but it will be a pain to get out in a hurry if you can get it out at all. I made a mistake buying the Homak and I suggest you add a few dollars more and buy a electronic safe that has a key or a mechanical safe, I had a terrible time getting my weapon out of safe and I think Homak is the worst on the market.

No. You have to hold the catch and push it open and then the same to close it.

your pass-code is permanent till you change it. unlike hotel safes, you do not need to put in passcode when you close it. You just close the safe 7 punch in any number other than your code to lock it.

Only part of it is screwed shut. You can access inside of the run from above, rather than opening the side door and encountering an escape.
