Is it true that the key can be removed only in the unlocked position?

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.

That seemed to be the case when I first received it...now that it has been in use for over a year, that has changed and I can now remove the key. Use has worn down whatever was restricting the key from being removed.

No, the key is removable in any position, both locked and unlocked. We use ours with the key in the lock since we are constantly in and out through the gate. We do not have our fence it for security ,but rather for the dogs . When I want it securely locked, I have a heavy keyed master lock hanging at the fence by the gate. This one I do not leave the key in.

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.

Yes it can but that key itself will have to be cut or programmed, what I did was use half of the shell or case and the screws it came with, the part with the key itself I just put away.., didn't need it use it.

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.

Once you have unlocked it, you can then just pull it back and it will retract. Once the key is out, you can retract it but you will not be able to push it in. If you keep the key in the lock and retract, you can move it back and forth. You don't need the key to lock it on the wheel, but you will need the key to unlock it off the wheel. Hope this is helpful

No, the key lock is secondary and NOT a bypass to the electronic lock. See manual.

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

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.

yes it can be unfortunately easy to technically rekeyit to a key you don't possess. Actually what can happen is if the key is not fully inserted or slides out turning the turn operation of rekeying: the pins can get to set to a position only achievable when the key is again in that intermediate position. This can make it very difficult if not nearly impossible to reenter rekeying. You cannot rekey without the current key (without getting all the pins in the current unlock position). But yes it works really well and very easily when done properly and carefully.

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?

The only reason it would get "stuck" would be because you lost (can't find your key). They send two keys (by the way). That's the idea - it's "stuck" until you (the owner) unlocks it.

Unfortionately no. The key is attatched to one side of the casing. I bought 2 and just had them cut. Locksmiths do it and its inexpensive. Hope this helps

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

No, the keys are not interchangeable. I ended up labeling the bottom & top keys. Yes, the keys will remove when the safe is unlocked.

if it the same model I have there is a small plate you remove, the key actually has a magnet on it which removes the plate covering the keyhole.

No you can't leave it unlocked, once you shut door it locks, you use key overide you have to remove small circle cover and place key

You can leave it unlocked. I leave the key in the box so I wont lose the key incase I want to lock it.
