Yes it does. I highly reccomend it. Be aware that people might try to steal it. I use a small padlock which is better than nothing....enjoy!

Yes FYI Its not a high security lock. More of a convenience of not needing a key or remembering a combination.

No. The biometric version uses only the scanner. The safe does come with a mechanical key in case the scanner fails.

Yes, mine has some finger prints on it. It's okay though, it's usually covered up by my hand.

Not that I have noticed, I purchased it to keep a firearm in, don't need to remember a combination in a stressful situation. Make sure that the first 8 fingerprints are your own.

Hello, and thank you for your patience while I looked into this for you. I called MESA directly to confirm that these come with a back up key, as there have been instances where no backup key was included. MESA said that all shipments going forward for this model safe should include a backup key in case the electronic keypad fails. Thank you for your inquiry. We would love to help you with your order! This safe is also available on our website. Please feel free to visit us anytime! Kind Regards, Andrea - indeHomes 317-660-5150

No. At least the model I purchased is combo only--and no key...but works quite well. However, the manual included covers a few models (some with combo + key) and it states "This safe requires combo + key. It is not possible to open if you lose key." So if you are looking at a version slightly different than mine which requires a key, you'll have to do both. I didn't want that option as I'd figure I'd either lose the key or get tired of carrying it around on my keychain.

Yes you can lock it from both sides, with a key or finger print from the out side and with the lever from inside, meaning you can also unlock it without a key or fingerprint from the inside.

It is not a deadbolt which requires a key or fingerprint on both sides. Operation from the non fingerprint side is always unlocked. You can also put it in passage mode by hitting a button once authenticed or use the key.

Yes but you have to specify that. I think there is a place when ordering to request that. My 2 safes had same key and I did request they be the same. Unfortunately both safes were not functioning. Sent yet tech did trouble shoot. Replacement safes did not work either. Replaced those and then 1 of 2 worked. Send the inop one back for refund. Kept the one that worked.

I've had mine for a decade, over dozens of flights and hundreds of trips through courthouse security, and I have never had it taken. I think the main distinction is that it can be identified by sight, but NOT by X-Ray in the middle of keyring full of keys. Don't put it in the tray with your wallet, coins, watch, etc. Take your entire keyring out and put it in your briefcase/laptop bag/carryon etc, and you'll be fine.

I didn't receive a key of any kind, however you can register the combination to the safe on a secure website. This will allow you to access the combination in case you forget or lose the combination.

Yes - A special key is provided. Its inserted into a slot behind a small cap just below the left side of the scanner. You can see the cap in the picture. It also comes with a remote battery pack that plugs into the reader should the batteries inside stop working. We have purchased two safes and are very happy with them.

Yes, I installed it , removed the doorknob and kept the deadbolt in.....the thing is though that if you close the door with the deadbolt, you won't be able to get back inside using only the fingerprint...
