With the keypad, can a single, fixed combination be created, or must you put in the combination each time that you close it (as in hotel safes)?

A fixed combo is all you need. It will be the same code to open every time.
1645602
You create one code and that remains the code unless you decide to reprogram it and change it.

your pass-code is permanent till you change it. unlike hotel safes, you do not need to put in passcode when you close it. You just close the safe 7 punch in any number other than your code to lock it.

You place a 4 digit code in everytime you close the safe. Then re-enter that same code to re-open. The code can be changed everytime you close the safe - just make sure you remember what code you entered.

If I remember correctly, holding the * key for a second or two locks the keypad. It's mentioned in the user manual.

The safe I received had the combination preset with no instructions on how to change it but I have read that it is possible with this model... I am not going to attempt that.

Yes, but note that pressing multiple keys in this orientation is difficult! In fact, any time you choose a combo of several keys, they have to be pressed PRECISELY at the same time or it will give an error; for this reason, I would not opt for combinations involving pressing more than 2 keys at the same time.Also you have to be ready for the door to flop open and the contents to fall out. I wouldn't recommend trying the upside down option.

No you can not change the combination , the key can be a override if you do not touch the combination dial the key is a added Touch of security by locking out the Handel and,combination dial

No you don't. The safe comes preset with a combination and can not be changed

Yes, it comes with a traditional key as well. (In case you forget your combo, or your batteries run dry which would disable the keypad.)

Yes you can. You can actually set the combos on "non lock" so you don't have to worry if the the numbers are changed in error.

Don't change the combination while it has been open, maybe? I don't have any problem and I have 2 Home Health Aids that come on 3 visits per day every day of the week. Since I got this lock box, replacing one I had made myself, no one is telling me of a problem with it.

No. Apparently a VERY long time ago you could. The rumor still persists. You need the key or combination to open the little safe. These safes are a real bargain. If I needed another small safe I'd buy it again. - j.

I purchased this safe close to a year ago. My husband thought he remembered there may have been instructions in the box but isn't sure. Our key was also locked inside the safe. It may have had a generic keypad combination code like 123 or 111 we just don't remember for sure. Sorry we couldn't help.

I gave this as a gift to my sister who was always losing her keys so I haven't tried it myself, but it does have a locking device to prevent a heavy load of keys from spooling out. As for different offices, you could put several on a key ring then put that ring on the KEY-BAK. Hope this helps.

Yes, both keypad and keyed lock works as intended as a stand alone product. Keypad is programmable without any other equipment attached as well, supplied instructions are easy to follow. Yale also sells the same deadbolt/lock without the networking module for a slightly less and if you're not intending to utilize that functionality you can save a little money by purchasing the other version. The networking module can be bought separately also.

As long as you leave the key in the unlocked position the combination works the safe perfectly. I often put mine in the unlocked position and remove the key if I will be accessing the contents of the safe on a regular basis for a day or two.

There is only four buttons so you quickly become used to the pattern of buttons you need to press. I have tested this in the middle of the night, it took seconds to open the safe. Very good safe, there is a LED light that shines once it opens. Pick a 3 or 4 digit code and you will be good.
