Is the door removable on this safe? Also I see in some internet reviews you can bypass the code by jumping the wires behind the combo is this true?

Hi JR, yes, the door does come off. it has to be open and take at least 2 strong guys to lift it up,, 4 guys my strength. As far as jumping the wires, I have no idea on that. I have had my safe for about 12-16 months and it has been trouble free. Still has the original batteries in it. Hope this helps, at least one of your questions.

Dorothy, your question doesn't make sense. This unit IS a deadbolt. How could you "use" it without it still being a deadbolt? Would you set it to *unlocked mode* and just use it as a $110 doorknob? Why not just use the doorknob instead? Or are you debating on whether to have TWO deadbolts instead of one? Why?

Yes , take out the keypad by turning it and use the key provided with the safe

My husband installed it and then realized it was meant for another door, so he had to remove it. He had no problem doing so. :) Hope that helps!

Nope...either leave door open, or key in the code. Just like a hotel door (Kind of a pain at first, but you get used to it fast, plus it is better than keys.

I called on this and they told me that if you use the code to unlock the door, it will auto lock itself. However, if you use the Unlock button on the inside, it will stay unlocked until you re-lock it. What I do not like, however, is that there is no indicator of whether it's locked or unlocked, so you have to push the button to know for sure.

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.

I do not know. Since I installed my locks to avoid having keys and to me the pass code is more convienent, I never tried disarming it!.

The outside part screws into the inside part all within the hole you drill into the door. The only access point where you can screw/unscrew the parts is on the inside of the door. I don't see how anyone could pry it out from the outside. But then again.... I'm not a professional burglar.

You don't need (or get) a key with the privacy levers. There is a slot that is used with a flat-blade screwdriver or coin to unlock the door. I tried this on mine already -- it works fine.

If you are able to access the back side of the lock and are mechanicly inclined you can remove the screws. Play with the buttons. I tried to reset my combo. Turned out i didnt push one of the buttons hard enough while doing so.

Yes ,I took mine off. Snipe the wire in the back where it is attached and it will come right off. I also put mi e an a piece of wood to prevent knocking it over.

The code is definitely on the package. I actually think you can see it from the out side of the package on the back. They put it on the outside so if you were buying a few of them you can try to get locks with the same combination to unlock. I kept the box just encase I forgot the combination.

I looked again at a spare brand new one that was in my garage - with that lock properly installed I don't see you circumventing it without breaking something. That latch doesn't move if in the locked position. I wish there was a way to post a picture - basically there's a tapered section of the lock assemble that slides into the gray housing - then the latch lifts and swings over the catch on the door; when the lock mechanism is pushed down that door is solidly secured. Then locking it makes it so it can't lift or open. Like I said, if that's done right, the housing won't open without you breaking some plastic either on the door or the lock itself.

Larryyou cut the door off, which I have had to do when the electronic solenoid failed (Sentry has a weak solenoid that will eventually fail). Please read the reviews on this, they are seriously prone to failure and once they fail you cannot open the safe unless to use a saw to cut it openthanksleonard

No, it's just a simple safe. Comes with a plain L-R-L combination already assigned. Plus a key lock.

You will only remove the deadbolt to install this unit. You will not have to remove the knob underneath the deadbolt. Installation was very easy. Took a total of 20 minutes. I very much enjoy the idea of a keypad deadbolt lock. My daughter does not like to carry keys, so this makes it convenient.
