Can this combo door lock be left 'unlocked'? And where/how do you use the override key?

No it can not be left unlocked. There is a magnetic key tab on the front handle that come off for a key slot.

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

cannot be left unlocked.... the keys have a magnet on them that pulls off the cover on the handle so that you can unlock the door

as far as the override key there is a magnet on the key that you hold on the little plate where you would inset the key and the plate will come off and y,ll see the key hole there are small magnets behide that plate that hold it on

No this lock can not be left unlocked. When the door closes it locks. You have to use the key to unlock just as if it was a conventional lock.

On my installation the left door position lock installed with the key opposite that of the key position on the door where the lock was installed on the right . I do not believe with a two door install where the locks are on the left and on the right it is possible to have the keys other than one up and one down

Digital and key lock. You can use both for added Protection but I Just use the keypad lock and have the key as override in case digital lock fails

It comes with a seperate key if you want to lock it, you have to do manually

Wow, thanks for asking this question. I never thought of that, and that fact that the combination has to be set to close the lock helped me choose not to buy this lock. Thank you.

Not unless you have there key. Before setting the lock to the new key you have to use the current working key to put the lock into a certain position.

After doing the correct combo the black handle goes to the left...to lock put back in upright position and turn the dial. I do not have a key with mine

When I had the same problem, it was because I put it on in reverse: I set it up for a right-hand door when it was a left hand door. When it is on correctly, you just twist the nob toward the door jamb to lock. Code only needed to open,

The directions to change the combo came on a single page with the box. If you lost it, look online to compare pictures of the exact locking mechinism model your specific safe came with (I'm not 100% sure if every safe uses identical lock models). Once you found the locking model number download a new set of instructions from the manufacturers website. Furthermore, I couldn't find clear instructions on how to locate the module that holds the combos in order to reset them in the event they were compromised, or you want to change them. To find that module you must have the safe door open, and nothing in the pockets. There are several Philips screws holding the fabric liner around the border of the safe door. Remove them all and remove the liner. The module is behind it. Than follow the model specific instructions retrieved from the Web to clear the memory and reset the lock mechinism codes back to stock.

There is no key. But if someone unlocks your door. And u have an addalock in place, they can't get in without kicking down the door. Also, this can't be used if your not home as it is put in place from the inside.

That's a great question! I couldn't quite figure out how to open the lock at first, because I thought I had to make my own combination up. But, this lock actually comes with a default combo that we can't change. There should be a metal tag (like a dog-tag) with the 4 digit combination hung around the lock (Hope you didn't throw it away!)

I purchased this item for a third party and don't recall weather it can be locked

There are simple instructions - once the lock portion is removed, there are some rings that can be rotated to set the new combination. It does not come with a key. If you forget the key, grab a sledgehammer.

I looked mine over and found no way to lock it. I do not believe that it can be locked.

This is a entry door lock. I don't think it is designed for your application.

You can only lock it from the outside with the key, but that defeats the purpose of the digital lock doesn't it. You have to turn the lock before you go out, or open the door and turn it. I can only guess that there is alarm system involved here.

Yes you can scramble the letters and leave it unlocked. You just snap it shut to lock it again. I do this all the time. I also allow other people to get in by giving them the combo. Then I change it when I get there.
