I would like to purchase this for a friend who is blind. Can you open and close the Solo with out using the combination lock?

Theoretically you can, if you keep the combinations set at 000, 000. Unfortunately if the dials move whatsoever while in transit, they're would be no way for your friend to decifer how to get the code back to 000, 000 without some assistance. I would avoid the combination lock for your friend if possible.

Yes you can. You can actually set the combos on "non lock" so you don't have to worry if the the numbers are changed in error.

Yes you can. There is a red plastic tab that the manufacturer installs on the tumbler and that can stay there. I keep that plastic in there all the time so I dont have to unlock it.

Yes, although the code was preset and if you accidentally move the cylinders in the locks, you would have to either reset them to the position, which would require being able to see what it was set on. I would really suggest another briefcase that do not have cylinder locks.

These are going to be a problem unless you keep the tab in the briefcase - the locks come set a 000 on both locks - there is a plastic tab that is insertedby the Mfgr., and to input your combo you remove the tab. Maybe a handle bag would be a better choice.

I don't use the combination to the locks. This case is far from secure. I just use it for back and forth from the range. Good luck..

Yes, but do yourself a favor and don't buy it! The lock mechanism can get unaligned sp? And it impossible to open. I had to send mine back with meat inside!!!!

That's a great question! I couldn't quite figure out how to open the lock at first, because I thought I had to make my own combination up. But, this lock actually comes with a default combo that we can't change. There should be a metal tag (like a dog-tag) with the 4 digit combination hung around the lock (Hope you didn't throw it away!)

No. Apparently a VERY long time ago you could. The rumor still persists. You need the key or combination to open the little safe. These safes are a real bargain. If I needed another small safe I'd buy it again. - j.

Yes you can scramble the letters and leave it unlocked. You just snap it shut to lock it again. I do this all the time. I also allow other people to get in by giving them the combo. Then I change it when I get there.

It is a combination only , the key hole is for the purposes of tsa to be able to open it, if they choose, but I later found out that you do not want to use this lock for weapons if that's what you're going to do ( for airports) if you're using it for personal reasons then its ok, I will tell you that the numbers are a little hard to see but not impossible.

I can put the blind by myself in less than 5 minutes or take down for that matter. The tip that I can give you is to pop open the top first. The easiest way to pop open each panel is to hold a corner in place with your right foot. Then grab the opposite corner with your left hand and pull the strap with your right. easy.

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

I purchased this item for a third party and don't recall weather it can be locked

Yes you can. It has a hole in the latching mechanism that will allow a small lock.

You create your own word for the lock and can change it yourself. It comes with a word combo but you can change it as many times as you like to any 4 letter combination. Hope this helps!

you need either a fingerprint or combination code to open it. the physical key is used to completely lock the safe, so neither of those 2 methods can be used, but it cannot be used by itself to open the safe

I think there is a tag with info in the blind or in the carrying pouch. You can always go to their web site and get the instructions.

No, just twist the lock. You only have to enter the code if its locked and you want to open it. I hope that answers your questions and I'm sure you'll love this lock, its awesome to not have to carry keys with you. Also, since its mechanical, you wont have to deal with the problems that I've had with the battery operated units. They're problematic and this one is trouble free!

Just turn the deafbolt in locking position. You can always turn it to lock, but only can unlock it with the selected code you chose.

Not with one hand, but it's a one hand open. There are great videos on youtube that show all the features and how to use.
