Do you need the key and combination to open the safe or can you open it with just the combination only.

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

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 have been using only the key to lock the safe but from what I see, you can use either/or to lock it.

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.

If you lock the safe using the key, you would need the key and combination to open it again. You could lock the safe and not use the key, then you would only need the combination to re-open it.

No you don't. The safe comes preset with a combination and can not be changed

I didn't receive a key of any kind, however you can register the combination to the safe on a secure website. This will allow you to access the combination in case you forget or lose the combination.

The one I ordered did not come with a key either. While it is possible to open without a key it's not easy. DON'T BUY this as others are available that don't require a special key that they will not bother to send to you.

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

It is a combination only , the key hole is for the purposes of tsa to be able to open it, if they choose, but I later found out that you do not want to use this lock for weapons if that's what you're going to do ( for airports) if you're using it for personal reasons then its ok, I will tell you that the numbers are a little hard to see but not impossible.

You should have a key. Pop the silver plaque on front of safe and open with key

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

For the "electronic" version of this safe, the only way to open it is with the keypad, and that needs batteries to operate. You can access the battery pack with the safe closed and locked (it's behind the keypad which comes out), so you don't need to worry about getting locked out. There is now a "combination" version of this safe and that appears to need no batteries at all, but that's not the one I have so I can't be sure.

The Key is just in case you need to open the Lock Manually. If for some reason the gate opener fails, you can still unlock the lock.

The safe arrives with the combination printed on a card. Being a mechanical, rather than an electronic lock, the combination is set at the factory and cannot be changed by the user. Sorry.

the key comes with a code number on it. copy it and save it in your wallet or medicine cabnet. Then call a lock smith. In summary the safe can be broken into with specific tools. I keep mine bolted to the back wall in a closet. This placement makes it difficult to remove the safe and take it away. the face plates are medium strength steel. the metal is not as thick a regular store safe. it is only good to protect documents from fire and household members from taking valuables. In summary if you loose the key and combination number your in a pickle. For the price, I was very satisfied.

No, there is only one key, you just have to make sure it's in the right position to open the cover, I have had to play with it a lot to get it in the right position. Keep trying, it will work!

I already had my keys labeled from the previous key safe so I just transfered them. The safe I had you could grab the top left and bottom right corners and press hard and it would pop open, it was more like a key semi-safe. Love this one .

Yes it can be operated with only a key. I use mine in a motor home and the batteries fell out when on a bumpy road. I had to search some but found the key and was able to open the safe and put the batteries back in.

The key works on all the locks. So you just need one key. They give you 2/lock so if you ever need to replace a lost one, you are all set.

Yes, in case you forget the compo or the keypad fails. You remove the keypad as you do to replace the battery. There is a hole there and the give you a very long key to access the safe.
