The key will open it. My husband uses it and says that there is a warning light if the batteries are losing energy so changing them is possible before they die.

Yes, you can. We recently had that issue. It comes with two keys. The plate on the front comes off to reveal a keyhole.

Yes, unless you're an idiot like me who kept the key locked inside the safe!

Yes, it comes with a key. We have "forgotten" our password and had to use the key. It's not a problem.

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!

I think in the case of fire the key would open the safe. The key I have is metal and should open the mechanism.

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.

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.

Afaik there is only one key. You can obviously set up multiple codes. The key is really just for battery emergencies. And the device is very good at letting you know the batteries are low, in 2 years I haven't had to use the key once.

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.

I just went & opened mine, just to be sure. It was a piece of cake. Open the safe, push down the tab at the top of the battery compartment & pull it out & down. It's pretty simple. It catches at the top & the bottom just has a slot it sits in.

I can't imagine that happening unless you lose the key. At that point, I suppose you'd have to have someone cut if off. I've had one for over 20 year and never had a problem. However, I suppose the same thing that makes it so effective is what would make it so much a problem if you lose the key.

Though they make batteries durable enough to last longer. Being unibody it still can be opened by prying out the keyboard to access inside, but it's better to get it done at authorized repair center.Hope this helps.

As long as you leave the key in the unlocked position the combination works the safe perfectly. I often put mine in the unlocked position and remove the key if I will be accessing the contents of the safe on a regular basis for a day or two.

The Battery goes on the inside, I am not sure if it remembers your old code or not after replacement, but I DO Imagine it will. It is easy to open with the key.

Yes, without a key you will have to call a locksmith. This happened to us.. However, the lock does have a "warning beep" for several days letting you know the battery is getting low. Hope this helps..

Batteries go inside safe. It will beep and warn you when they are getting low so you can change them out in enough time. Also, they give you an adapter that plugs into the front of safe that you put batteries in that will alow you to power the safe so you could use your finger without having to get key. I am very pleased with the safe and it reads your fingerprint quickly.

Yes, There are two keys that come in the package. A key can be used instead of a code or in case of battery failure.

You need power to engage the locking/unlocking deadbolt knob. Without the battery, you have to use the key.

No you can't. That is one of the many issues I have with it. I wouldn't recommend buying. The key pad is loud. The faceplate is made of cheap plastic. The battery compartment is also plastic and broke the first time I opened it to place the batteries in. The outside bottom portion has no cushion and it isn't smooth so it will scratch a desk, nightstand or whatever you place the safe on.
