if the batteries die, can you still open it manually?

You can open it manually but it has a very small handle on the lid and if your fingers are oily it will be difficult.

Some times. The first one we got was DOA, the second one failed a little later. When it failed, (not dead batteries) sometimes the lid was locked open, sometimes (most frequent) locked closed, sometimes free-wheeling.

Yes you can. Just grasp in by the small handle and pull it open then close it back. I sometime turn my batteries off because my cocker spaniel sometimes hops up so it will open .
102869
Yes, you can turn off that feature too. It has a lid with a little handle on top

Absolutely, there is a small handle on top of the trash can and it opens manually quite easily.

Yes, Tim. It comes with an emergency key that will open the safe if the battery dies. but hopefully you will open it every night and every morning so long before that you will hear the warning beeps that the battery is low.

There is an open button and a close button that allows you to open/close manually.

If the remote is dead you should open it with the opener in the garage. If the power is out the battery backup should kick in. If that's dead there is a manual release you pull and then you can just raise it yourself.

No, there doesn't appear to be a way to open it. However, at that point you could probably just power it through the USB cable.

I don't believe that you can. I always remove my batteries when not in use. It helps you locate it in the dark and uses very little power.

There is a small round indentation on the bottom of the remote..press on this and it will very slightly open. You can then pry it open to remove the old battery. It's a little awkward. Hope this helps.

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.

Yes, you have to hold in the button. I don't see a way to replace the battery.

Yes you can, but when the battery is low, and you pull the trigger to fast it will get stuck, to fix that just flip on auto and pull the trigger, no problem really, good luck!

no, it only works with the batteries when you push a button. There is nothing to twist manually

I do not think that you can manually slew it. For me I bought rechargeable battery and it saves a lot.

No. You'll need to buy another battery for it. Be VERY, VERY careful with the key/latch that's used to lock/unlock the drawer that holds the battery. It is more fragile than it should be and the slightest amount of pressure in opening or locking it will likely break it. If anything were going to be the Achilles's heel of this device - that would be it.

There is an external battery pack that connects from outside in case the batteries die. The small cap below the keypad unscrews to provide access to the keyhole (so you can also open the door manually with a key if necessary).

I think you can use it without the batteries and manually adjusted to open both ways. I don't know why you would do this though.

I do not have a problem opening the battery door. If you have a finger nail, that should do the trick.

The Open and Close buttons require the item to also have working batteries. Without batteries, you must manually open and close the lid.
