what happens when the batteries die? Does the safe automatically unlock?

sorry took so long. not sure what happens, batteries haven't died yet but I believe it stays locked. You get 2 keys to manually open safe if batteries die or code is forgotten.

No, when the battery dies, you have to make sure you have the key handy to open the safe with, otherwise you will not be able to open the safe.

My batteries have not failed, but the safe has a backup lock and key. When the batteries fail, you may open the safe with the key and replace the batteries. Of course, you will want to keep the keys (you receive 2 keys) in a safe place; definitely not in the safe.

there is a key included with the safe to open it in case the battery dies. Just don't lose the key!

Hello I believe you may unhook the batteries any time, as the same happens when the battery is full, it automatically shuts down, Thanks John

It doesn't plug in to anything. it is battery operated, and everything is self contained. If the battery dies you will be unable to open the lock with the fingerprint scanner or the keypad so don't loose the key. The lock will notify you when the battery is getting low with a flashing LED so you have plenty of time to change it out. It's a great lock. I use it on my home office.

There are two types of keys provided. The regular key works with the electronic lock, but there is a master key that can open the safe without knowing the combination or if the batteries happen to go dead. Battery life I've experienced with this safe was good for more than two years with good brand name alkaline battery.

You can still change the battery & it won't hurt the safe.The batteries it's on the outside next to the number plate. Again Yes, It's another safety device. Without the batteries the safe can't be open.

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.

With my safe all you need to do is shut the door turn the handle and it locks on its own. If you still have trouble the tech support was really helpful when my keypad was acting up.

Should the battery run out of power, you will need to use the key, which is the secondary unlocking device. The safe will remain "closed/locked" until you open with the key and replace the battery which is only accessible internally. I sure hope this helps.

I only recently put this in so I don't know. However, on my front door I installed the touchscreen deadbolt a few months ago. It gets far more use and it automatically opens or closes the deadbolt and lights up every time I use it. I have not needed to change the batteries on it yet so I'm thinking on this smart pride door lock the batteries are going to last a long time.

It's how all toyota, lexus and scions work. The actual lock switch goes to sleep and the factory keyless goes dead when the car is running. You need to hook to the disarm wire in the car. It will unlock the drivers door on the first pulse, and all the doors on a second pulse. You may Need to send a re lock pulse to the lock or arm wire of the car to re-lock it after start.

There is an external battery pack that can be plugged into the lock when the internal battery is low or dead.

According to the very small users instructions that came with the password vault, your data is stored in flash memory and nothing is lost during a battery change. I would take that to mean the same is true if the battery dies and isn't replaced right away.

Yes it does. BTW the battery that the safe came with was not brand new and only lasted 7 months which resulted in the locking mechanism not releasing after the combo was inputted.

There is no batteries.If you loose the combination there is a manual key to open the safe.

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

There is a standard assigned passcode to open it and set your own. This is all in the instructions you should have received with the safe, along with two physical keys that can be used if the code does not work or if the battery needs to be replaced.

Mine went dead just a few days ago, and when I put new batteries in, the safe had kept the same combination I had. Check to make sure they are good batteries, and there in right. If you still want to change the code, there is a button on the inside back of the digital display on the inside of the door. Press to reset and put new ones in. But when the batteries go bad it does keep your code until you get new ones.
