Once a renter has the combination, can they just as easily change the code and then you won't be able to open the box?

Yes. You can change the code once the box is unlocked by sliding the pins over on the back of the key pad. http://www.davstarsecurity.com/keysafe-code-setting-instructions.htm

You can program your own combination, but unit arrives with pre-set combination.

I'm pretty sure the combination that comes with the lock is set and cannot be changed.

Yes. The instructions on changing this area really easy to follow. Changing the combination shouldn't take more than a minute.

The code is on the bottom of the box as I recall, not anywhere in the paperwork inside. Just have to handwrite it down, hopefully before throwing the box out.

I understand those can be re-keyed by a locksmith, but to just order a new key, I doubt it. Or if you order a whole new lock the new key probably won't work. If it did, that would mean any robber with a spare key to one of those would be able to get in. That wouldn't be too secure would it? Balance the cost of re-keying with the cost of just buying a whole new lock unit and proceed accordingly.

Yes you can change the combo and re-key the lock. There are no instructions on how to change the combo but it is possible. After some trial and error I was able to set mine to the combo I desired.

I don't think so but I am not an accomplished lock picker. You need to insert the key completely to open the box.

It depends on the seller, it's likely they left the box untouched and the code should be found inside, but nothing is stopping them from opening the box and using the code beforehand. For me, I had the bad luck of buying one with a used code.

Yes, the combination is easily resettable. No, it will not except a 12 digit combination.

I am not sure, but I would go to a locksmith and see if they have a key form that matches the ones sent with the box. It is my experience that a good locksmith can make keys for anything. Good luck

You have to re-enter the code. In fact, you can't reinsert the box in its receptacle without re-entering the code. (Big Mack's answer appears to apply to a different model -- there is no knob to turn.)

Irrespective of any security measures a motivated thief will find a way. Anyone who wants to use a crow bar must be desperate as the reward is not worth the trouble. I did get a response from the manufacturer on the question of security and their lock sets. They did say the lock set is the same for all units of this type but the combinations are in the thousands ,however it appears there is a probability that several customers could have the same key and combination. So the keys are not universal but not totally secure.

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 concur that you have to have it done locally by locksmith after they arrive. I don't think big box (Lowe's, HD) will do it unless you have purchased it there. And even then I believe they will only commit to rekeying with Kwikset's "smart key system."

the combination can be changed and could be any combo numbers. But!!! when you reset the code, be very sure when you press the button inside to normal take down the number that's currently showed. Since the numbers will become very flexible for using a while and it will move easily even by a gentle movement. And when you turn to reset, it could be changed.

I guess you mean the code is inside the safe...I do not know of a way....if you send the identifying numbers for the safe to the manufacturer together with proof of purchase, they may be willing to give you the code possibly...
