I know this is a key lock vault (NV200), but any comments regarding a keyed or a combination vault (NV300)?

I bought the NV200 for one purpose only - to keep safe the "curiosity seekers" (untrained children and the inquisitiveness untrained adults) from harm. It works well for this purpose.

I prefer the key, I thought about the combination lock but didn't think that it was secure enough from a child playing with the lock and getting lucky. A curious child will eventually figure out the combination. At least with a key I know that as long as it's on me I've got the way in....provided the child/person doesn't have a screwdriver and hammer.

I unfortunately was down to my last key. So I can't be sure whether it deactivates non inclusive keys. However from my understanding it clones the current key encryption, simply adding another key fob to the family, not modifying it so I don't see why the others in the current family wouldn't work.

Hi Vicky. While there are 10,000 combination possibilities the reset button is on the inside. You will need to contact Masterlock and id the product with the serial number unique to you, which is in place for your security. They are very helpful in getting what you need. I hope it works out.

I agree with Lorne Robinson's review. You probably have to be very careful when you put it in the box and it may fall out when you open the box. I think the intent was to house a single key in an emergency but maybe with some feed back to the manufacturer they will find a way to accommodate te new smarter keys. Still a nice unit, have several at our church for contractors to have key fob entry when needed.

Yes, both keypad and keyed lock works as intended as a stand alone product. Keypad is programmable without any other equipment attached as well, supplied instructions are easy to follow. Yale also sells the same deadbolt/lock without the networking module for a slightly less and if you're not intending to utilize that functionality you can save a little money by purchasing the other version. The networking module can be bought separately also.

I already had my keys labeled from the previous key safe so I just transfered them. The safe I had you could grab the top left and bottom right corners and press hard and it would pop open, it was more like a key semi-safe. Love this one .

Wow, thanks for asking this question. I never thought of that, and that fact that the combination has to be set to close the lock helped me choose not to buy this lock. Thank you.

sorry took so long. not sure what happens, batteries haven't died yet but I believe it stays locked. You get 2 keys to manually open safe if batteries die or code is forgotten.

Very Easy, No Limit. What do you need them for. There are a lot of letters in red marked on the first two rows and one key on the third row You need to ust te shift key. Did you enter your passwood into the vault?

You can open it with just the combination. Key is just added security, don't use it myself. what if you hide it and forget where it is?

Chris; I'm not a locksmith, but the image that you copied and sent was a "Passage Door Knob." there is no lock mechanism. There are various Entrance Locks that have knobs and a keypad as well. I would think that as long as you are using a brass lockset, I can't imagine the building not allowing a lever type lock. The lever locks came about primarily because of the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act.) If you had trouble grasping a door knob, they (by law) would have to supply you with a lever type lock. I put in a bright brass lever keypad lock like the one pictured to the left. My family all thought that I was nuts, but now they love it. There are several models. The one pictured here has "Z-Wave" capabilities which would allow you to unlock the door remotely if you spend the money on the interface. What I don't like about it, is it is very easy to hit the unlock button on the inside while you are going in or out of the house. I wished that I got the model where you have to manually unlock the door from the inside if you want to disable the keypad. Otherwise, I LOVE IT&gt;

That must be for a different safe. The one I purchased 2087F-BD, is NOT digital. It has a rotating combination lock and a set of keys. I think they 'blended' descriptions for similar sized safes.

Yes. Vault Locks is a line of both lock boxes for keys and padlocks. This product is thick metal and is thus relatively heavy.

We reviewed the Password Safe, I believe it was thru Hammercher Schlemmer (sp?) and we couldn't find any difference, so decided to go with the least expensive of the two. This password vault is working just fine. Hope this helps.

Digital and key lock. You can use both for added Protection but I Just use the keypad lock and have the key as override in case digital lock fails

Take a key sample to your local lock and key shop (locksmith), maybe they can make a duplicate. I have had things like cash register drawer keys duplicated at such places. Other than that the manufacturer is your only shot.

if you purchase the "keyed alike" verion. I purchased three of these and only have one key.
