can this safe be operated by only a key if my wife forgets the code while I'm not home?

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.

No. It's coded to one physical key. You can setup multiple codes, but there is only one master code that lets you setup user codes and functions

I don't remember how many codes the unit will hold, but you can change/delete as many as you want. There is also the option of a "vacation" code that only works once if you need to let someone into your house while you are away. Pretty slick.

inside the safe itself, I think right under the door there is a little red button. Click on that button. it will allow you to reset. Then type in the code. Let me know if you have any trouble.

There is a standard assigned passcode to open it and set your own. This is all in the instructions you should have received with the safe, along with two physical keys that can be used if the code does not work or if the battery needs to be replaced.

I have no idea. You can call the company who can probably provide keys or a locksmith. Sorry cant be more help

No. You have to have a chip. Migrating the chip from the old key is a major pain.

Hi, this does not require a key to be left in it. You will retain both keys after programming the unit.

Pin code is primary method key is secondary and not needed unless pin code is forgotten or battery in unit fails.

It doesn't have a key card it has a built in key pad. The master key will give you access to open the safe. The code will be reset every time it is closed and the 4 number are entered.

I purchased this safe close to a year ago. My husband thought he remembered there may have been instructions in the box but isn't sure. Our key was also locked inside the safe. It may have had a generic keypad combination code like 123 or 111 we just don't remember for sure. Sorry we couldn't help.

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.

We have one installed. It is wonderful not having to use a key when leaving - just push the "lock" button. On entry, no fumbling for keys - just the code. When we're home or in the yard during the day, we usually leave ours unlocked, and it does not lock automatically. So either older/different model, or there is a setting. There was a one-time set up using some switches as I recall. Does NOT need to be reset after changing the batteries.

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

Yes, it comes with a key that you can use to bypass code input when needed.

Well, Not enought information, But I will try to answer the question, First to use the key you have to take the Key pad off the safe, I think it uses a phillips to remove the pad, Then back-up key lock is exposed to open door, If you forgot your password that is how you open the safe, To reset password you have to use the red button inside to reset, read the manual.

You can. But let me recommend getting the key fobs for everyone. Everyone always has their keys with them, so leaving it at home is less likely. Cards and wallets get stolen... but the key fobs seem to be the most convenient for everyone.
