Its a file box. An over priced piece of plastic junk. Mine was broke upon delivery. The " lock" is very chintzy

The inside does not require a key. It has a small metal turning piece. Call it a "dial" maybe which allows you to open or close the lock from the inside of the door.

I have never used this function but I do not see a key that is designated as an F Lock key. Research tells me it should be locate above the Backspace key but there is no such key on this keyboard.

Just closing it should lock it, but you may want to check the "security level" settings. There is high, low, and off. If it's "off" there won't be any security. The security level can by set by clicking the button with a lock under it.

There is no key. But if someone unlocks your door. And u have an addalock in place, they can't get in without kicking down the door. Also, this can't be used if your not home as it is put in place from the inside.

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?

The lock can but not the key. You will have to place the key in the same place where other magnetic items go to pass through the system.

You can leave it unlocked. I leave the key in the box so I wont lose the key incase I want to lock it.

No, you can not even use the key. It locks the door from the outside totally until you turn it off

I bought one for each of my parents. I already had my own. I don't remember a lock when I played with them. Sorry, I can't be sure.

The key is a magnet. Just buy a small, powerful rare Earth magnet as a replacement.

Yes you have to lock it every time with key. It will not lock on its own, probably to prevent lockouts.

If I recall correctly, the key is a plastic thing, relatively cheaply-made, designed to keep the power cord from pulling out while the machine is in use. If you can plug in, the key is probably not needed. You might want to wrap the cord around the loop below the handle to keep it from being pulled out. If you can't plug in, you might see if you can do something to get parts out of the way so you can. Good luck!

Its not locked. The keys are inside. All you must do is push the locks, one to the right, the other to the left. Try that.

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
