Does this lock hold the key in while unlocked? In other words, can the key be out of it and accidentally locked inside your locker?

You cannot lock the key in your locker, the key can only be removed when the lock is locked. If you get this lock, you will notice that it is the best lock in the lockeroom!

Mine just arrived and the keys were absolutely locked inside the box. The latch rests up against a piece of sheet metal to hold it shut. I applied the universal solution to every situation: Force. Pulled it apart; the metal inside barely deflected; I bent it back. Still, how the heck could this happen?

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.

Yes, unless you hold the latch down until you take the key out and close the door. Once the latch is released, the latch locks. It doesn't matter if the door is in an open or closed position.

No. It locks whenever engaged. You always have to input the code. I used it on an interior door but It stopped working for me after 2 weeks. I spent a total of $20 in postage to receive and return. It is very heavy. I was give credit but it was a net loss of $20 for postage. I now have an extra hole in my door. I haven't replaced it with anything yet.

That would be a question best directed to the manufacturer. It seems to be a simple lock that would be easily replaced or re-keyed, but I've never tried it, so cannot say for sure.

I did not know so I actually keyed in several incorrect codes and the lock stopped responding. I went back several minutes later and was able to key in correct code, and it worked. So yes it does lockout.

It is not the same as for a standard locker lock. You need to read the instruction in the small book that comes with the safe to apply the combination numbers provided for the lock also provided with the same document...

The lock can but not the key. You will have to place the key in the same place where other magnetic items go to pass through the system.

Honestly, any lock can be broken. I feel that different locks just have different levels of deterring thieves. I've had it for a month so far, it feels really sturdy and I feel safe using it but its something I have to lug around because the weight is very noticeable (around 9 pounds). If you don't think you will mind carrying that extra weight then by all means pick this one up

Unfortunately the model that I bought locks and I need to leave the key in so it can be opened without punching in the code. I believe that there is another model which doesn't lock automatically that I wish that I've bought.

The lock on it works really well itself. Very secure and very durable. There's also two spots on either side of it to put pad locks. My buddies tried to break into mine for me once cause I lost my key and they needed something out of it, and they couldn't do it. And after the messed it up pretty badly, I found my key and it still worked like a champ.

It locks and you cannot get into easily if you have done that. Just keep the key up from the kids.

Its not locked. The keys are inside. All you must do is push the locks, one to the right, the other to the left. Try that.

Yes you have to lock it every time with key. It will not lock on its own, probably to prevent lockouts.

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.
