Since this is supposed to be fire-safe, how do you open it if the dial melts off in a fire?

Re security. This is primarily designed as a fire safe. It can be bolted to the floor for added security with an optional (not included) kit. As far as the exposed hinge, it would probably be quicker to cut though the top with a good hole saw than attack the hinge. If you're looking for something that absolutely can not be broken into, you'll want to look at a much heavier, and much more expensive safe. Re the key pad. The manual rates the safe good to 1700 F for one hour. It does not specifically state that the keypad will withstand this temperature, but you can order a replacement key/combo either online or by calling an 800 number. Failing that, simply cut the safe open with a good hole saw made for metal. The safe has a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser. If the safe is damaged in fire, they will replace it. I know this does not specifically answer your question. For more info, contact the manufacturer 800 828 1438 or www.sentrysafe.com

Ok, I don't have the instructions in front of me, but there might be a clip or something that needs to come off before removing the dial. I really don't remember. However, I do remember that it was hard to come off. I suggest taking two dinner knives and putting one under each side of the dial so you can leverage each side up simultaneously. The truth is Intermatic has failed in the design of the latest version of this item. Thank God you can return it if necessary. Good Luck. I think Amazon should stop selling it.Tom

Make sure to hold down on the dial, you cant just turn the dial you have to turn and hold it down at the same time while igniting the pilot and make sure to hold down for 10-20 seconds after lit

You have to make sure the vent is still open, then wait a minute or so and then lift the hinges ( or claps ). The lid should open, but be careful because the food will be hot. Deb M.

There are 2 ways. Shut off your burner and let the T-fal cool down automatically, but that takes time making sure the Position on the . handle in the steam release position. The 2nd way is bring to the sink, and instead of soaking in cool water, let the coldest water run to one side of the cover-tipping toward the flowing water. The steam releases quite fast.

Burn the end with a lighter. While still hot use pliers to flatten the melted part.

I've not experienced a fire but would imagine you would use the key to turn the handle. I've used the key once when the batteries were too weak to open the door and it does turn a mechanism inside.

Just twist a bit and lift it off. It may be hot, be careful. Come with a hook for lifting.

Simple, use a quarter to pry it open by turning it. I know it looks like it is going to break but it won't.

It is easy, just click off the "flame lock" click off the "safety" that is located directly below the button, then push the button and it flames. I love mine, on my third gas refill. I would recommend it!

Switch the Bar on by turning the knob at the bottom as you would normally do. Keep turning the knob left until you feel there is a resistance, continue to turn the knob with a little pressure to get past the resistance and keep turning until the knob came off, then you can get the batteries out. will open. The Bar will stop vibrating when the knob became loose.

It does not turn. The dial mechanism is plastic, if forced it will strip. But the safe will stay locked.
