Can a person advance the tray manually without the key? You mentioned its not tamper proof, hammer, pried open,ect. ........

No, in order to advance the tray, you must wait until the timer advances it to next compartment. That is a big benefit because it does not allow an impaired user to take more pills than he\she should!

Hmmmm they might be able to put their finger in the dispenser slot and push against the side wall to try to advance it. Not sure how much resistance is on it.

They probably could. Think of it as tamper-resistant vs. tamper-proof. I believe someone, if they were determined enough, could insert a key or small screwdriver into the gap between the lid and the current exposed pill compartment and "pry" the tray to the next pill compartment. There would be grinding sounds (as the gears were forced) and it might break teeth of the gears...however I'm pretty certain it could be done.If you truly need it to be tamper proof against a determined individual this is not the product you should purchase. Tamper proof dispensers are available, however they were running $400+ the last time I looked into them. They probably could. Think of it as tamper-resistant vs. tamper-proof.

You can only open this device with the key. However it is plastic so it could probably be cracked open with a hammer if someone was determined to get into it. I purchased for my 83 yr old mother who was taking too many of her meds every day and it has worked very well for us.

The inside does not require a key. It has a small metal turning piece. Call it a "dial" maybe which allows you to open or close the lock from the inside of the door.

I ordered this to replace a like rental - that was ordered by my brother's head nurse. She was familiar with it and felt comfortable no one could access the med tray without the key. Two keys come with the tray. However, nothing is guaranteed no one can access. Use your own judgment whether to order or not.

You would need to have a locksmith rekey the lock. It cannot be rekeyed with a master key.

In the first place, they would have to open it and it can only be opened by preset fingerprint. It comes with a key also.

I am not aware if that is possible. It only takes the push of one button and a twist of a knob. I love that you don't need keys, no more getting locked out.

Yes it with lock without the key. Once the botton, next to the key is pushed in its locked and you need a key unzipped or not.

Not able to move it manually unless they are willing to break it- it is locked into position with plastic 'hooks' between top and tray bottom

The key is required to open the lock (obviously). Once the lock is open, the key can not be removed until it is closed again.

Hi. Yo can use it directly from your key ring or use another method. I didn't try to detatch it.

You need a working key (most recent in use). not necessarily the original key.

Yes FYI Its not a high security lock. More of a convenience of not needing a key or remembering a combination.

Yes it can, it is done almost the same way as a normal deadbolt lock. What I had to do though was file all the keys at the hand end where it gets straight. I did this because the re key kit I used worked on all my regular doors. This is really not a big deal to do. I have metal files but if you don't you can use a fingernail file. The metal that keys are made from is pretty soft. I hope this helps...

No. I just tried and before you can open it, you have to manually unlock it.
1084729
No that is not true, mine is locked and my key is in my hand right now. You just have to turn it all the way over and the key can be removed.

No, you can't open it with the key only. You have to use either the fingerprint scanner or enter the combination on the keypad. The key can be used to lock the safe so that neither the fingerprint scanner nor the keypad will unlock it.

Better use a mitt, the tray does not slide out automatically. My old one did that, but unfortunately, it bit the dust.
