difference between brass key lock or corded combination locks?

These locks come with tiny keys that open them. The combination lock would require you to manipulate the lock to the correct combination. I chose these because they are TSa approved and they can open the locks themselves if they randomly need to search a bag. It beats having your suitcase cut open. These locks worked great for us.

Either or would work.. Key or pin code. I personally use the pin (key pad ) entry. And the key for the safe. It is a nice unit for the cost.

Mechanical lock - Best for long term use . I've had bad experiences with the reliability of the cheap electronic safes.

The key is NOT like traditional house keys.It is generally flat and has angled cuts of various lengths and angles - Not something I'd expect the typical locksmith to duplicate, but not overly complicated either.

You might be better considering a combination sliding bolt. Much cheaper and easier to install, but will only work if your door and it's frame are flush. ex. Combi-Bolt CB2000-CHR 4-Dial Combination Sliding Bolt Latch With Chrome Finish Also, if you place most of the numbers on the correct number and only leave one off by one, you can get out of the house more quickly in an emergency and also be able to tell if anyone's been fiddling with it.

Both are single cylinder locks....with the main handle lock being lockable before the door is closed making for a quick and easy exit with at least one lock set without needing a key (for the kids).

No cotter key needed. My boat and most modern applications have a woodruff key and a nylon lock nut.

They are keyed differently. According to the seller, "We do not provide the option of making them keyed alike". Most deadbolts are keyed differently unless they are sold as a set. A locksmith should be able to rekey them for you so that they are all the same, or you could search for Kwikset SmartKey locks, which can be easily rekeyed by nonprofessionals.

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.

Key code? They are a simple key lock. Unless u are referring to the key style .

I'm no locksmith. I think the keys are brass, certainly not steel. Count the little humps or points on the key to determine how many pins are in the lock. Yes you can rekey a lock that has been rekeyed before. It is easier if you have a functioning key for the lock, the follow the instructions. There are Utube demonstrations on how to rekey a lock that may help you. Google it.

You can just use your pin code, you don't half to use both. The key is for if the battery runs out then you can still get in. The other key is for the lock box in the safe but I'm sure you knew that already. Hope that helps

I think both are about the same security but in different ways. Cable locks the slide while this one locks the trigger. I purchased the trigger locks so I have same combination on all my guns instead of separate keys. Just a personal decision.

Yes, in fact the 2 barrel key locks are essential. Without them, the door can easily be pried open. The combination lock seems flimsy and has limited functionality (no key may be used more than once); I don't trust it to open and therefore don't use it.

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

Sorry, John, but I really don't know. All my hardware is the high-end Baldwin. I do have two Kwikset gate locks, but the keys for those are completely different than the Baldwin keys. I have no idea whether they are KW1, however. I love the Baldwin keys. They are made of nickel, and are much harder than brass keys. When I re-keyed my house, I took the keys to a good locksmith to have them cut. Much better job than the local hardware, and less than half the price.

They are heavy-duty locks. They can be ordered with the same key code. I don't know if they can be ordered with the same key code and same combination. I purchased two of these locks. They came keyed different and different combinations. Only one works using the combination dial. The other will not unlock using the combination that came with it. I have no idea how well they would hold up in salt water areas. Likely not too well as the internal steel parts aren't weather tight (sealed).
