If the battery dies can you open the door with a key?

Hi, I havent had that problem - since I installed the first one a couple of years ago. But I believe that it did say it would work. I'm pretty sure it's a manual override.

No, you loosen the two screws that hold the lock together to replace the battery. I have had the lock for about three months and the battery is still strong. It only light the key pad when you hit one of the keys, so, there is very little drain on the battery. It should last a couple of years.

The key always works. But one of the big benefits is to having a lock like this is not needing a key. Then if you take a run or whatever you do not have to take a key with you. You also do not have to hide a key around your house as an emergency precaution that also becomes a slight security risk. Leaving a key in the car would be another option, but if you park in an attached garage, that kinda kills that. What happened with ours though, is when the battery dies it does NOT leave the door locked... it leaves the door UNLOCKED. Which I find even worse... what if the battery dies while you are on vacation? Then your main door is unlocked the whole time. Honestly, I recommend people get the garage door keypad opener instead... it is cheaper and works on the same principle. These keypad locks are fancy, but when they stop working you realize you overpaid for a lock that is only good for a few years. Search around for people running into these locks not working after a few years... it is a very common occurrence. Until I know the company has updated the design to account for whatever flaw causes that I will not buy another one. Once I have been burned by a brand, I stop using them.

If Batteries go dead, you can simply replace them while the safe is locked. The Batterycompartment isplaced inside the electric key pad, which can be removed with loosing one small crew with a regular Philips screw driver. Replacing the Battery does NOT restore the safe settings. if you lost your passcode you must have the master code at hand to open the safe.I hope that answers your questions.

It does come with a key. I don't know for sure but I think if the batteries run out of energy, it stays locked.

It comes with key as a back up. When battery runs low it will warn you to replace.

Yes you can and it comes with the screws inside to do so awesome safe. tamper and pry proof. It also lets you know when the batteries are getting low it will blink red. Make sure you keep up on the batteries when they're getting low because if you don't have your spare key it will not open. And your combination won't work because it won't pick up on it because the batteries are low. But I think you will enjoy this very much I rated it 5 stars

If you have the code you do not need the keys. The keys are if the battery has gone dead. If that has happened I do not know what you do....so sorry!

Not sure if you can get a new key, but if you press in on the lock the box will open without a key.

I never remove the key. Since I keep the battery on a shelf when the mower is not in use I don't care about the safety feature of the key. If you do the same the key won't be a problem.

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!

There seems to be a very small battery door on back I have not been able to open it to determine what type of battery it takes. I would say it is probably too much trouble to replace. Current battery will probably last years, anyway.

You need a small screwdriver, I believe a Phillips head, to open the battery compartment. You can replace battery. If it still doesn't turn on then you need to send back to replace.

I don't recall any problem with the battery door. It's pretty simple unless it is broken. The directions are helpful.

I'm 99% sure that you can just pull the 9V battery out and use it via a normal key if you didn't want to use the keypad.

Open the safe with your key and replace the battery. I'be had mine for a couple months and the original battery still opens the safe. I use my key most of the time.

Yes, without a key you will have to call a locksmith. This happened to us.. However, the lock does have a "warning beep" for several days letting you know the battery is getting low. Hope this helps..

Yes. There is a battery pack which allows you to open the safe in a different way and with a key.

I do not have a problem opening the battery door. If you have a finger nail, that should do the trick.
