Combination and key. However this comes in a thousand little pieces and is a pain to put together FYI

You have to have both. Recognize that the "combination" is just one location on a dial. Just try them all until it works. The security is that if the safe is opened without using the key, the alarm goes off. It is not really designed to prevent unauthorized access. You need a real safe for that.

The safe can be unlocked with the key alone. You may also use the key and combination lock together.

The unit is very difficult to unlock until you know the secret. Turn the unit over and on the bottom you'll see a small window and a circle in it. That's the locking mechanism. Make sure the flat side of the mechanism is facing you and it should open. If not, keep turning it 1/4 turn until it opens. Then you have to remember what position the mechanism is in or go through this the next time you want to open it.

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.

You change the combination by following the instructions that come with the safe. Basically, you push a red button that is accessible only when the door is fully open and then key in a new four-digit combination. It's quite easy. Just remember to write down the number first and never lock the keys inside the safe. The key is the alternative means of opening the safe.

I think any lock can be opened By someone who knows what their doing. I Would not get a lock with out a key because the electronics may fail; or run out of power leaving you locked out. If your concerned about bumping; you could always disable the key slot with superglue or something

Simply rotate the combination given when you PURCHASED the lock......pull....and it opens. Also, your own combination number is easy to set with knob inside of unit.

No, a key does not come with the combination lock. I have not seen the need for a key.

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.

No it's not combination lock. It has a lock for the SecureBack case that can be pushed to lock but obviously you need the included key to unlock it. And if you need to secure the stand itself to a table or something you will need to get another lock.

It has a key attached to lock/open. The key is attached by a string meant to be removed after purchase. There is really no need for instructions. Nice little case.

Only needs combination from outside. Doors opens normally from inside and once door is shut it is automatically locked.

Yes, on the small end piece there is a small piece of plastic that you push up or down to lock or unlock. It purposely is difficult to move so that you don't do it accidentally. Use your finger nail to switch it the opposite direction and it should be unlocked.

Yes. Punch in to open it .. Punch again to close it .. & this one has no key only combination.. Plus it's worth it to keep a lot of keys inside so you won't misplace them. Very good with keeping my safe key in here . Enjoy Caro!

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