Can you open this safe with a paper clip like on one of the stackon safes? It's true I can open that safe with a paperclip! So don't same again!

The holes on the back and at the bottom of the safe are intended for secure attachment to the wall or cabinet. If you don't attach the safe to a surface, just cover them up so nobody tries to open it with a stick by touching the reset button. I don't think we can open it with a paper clip!

The question is difficult to understand but if you are asking if it can be picked. .. perhaps ?

There are mounting holes that you can use to mount the stack in your safe. Since most fireprrof safes are lined with sheet rock on the inside, it is pretty easy to mount the stack where you want it with little or no drilling. The inside of my safe has felt on inside of the walls, so I used the hook side of peel and stick Velcro tape on the back side of my stack which allows me to stick it anywhere inside the safe.

You can push the pin out of the hinge with a straightened paperclip or other such tool, and open the box from the other side. Unfortunately, the box isn't really very secure as anyone could do the same.

To tell you the truth I wouldn't buy this item because it is not very safe and is easy to break into! I'm 10 years old and I was able to break into this safe using paper clips! Just a heads up!

I just looked at mine. I noticed that I also had something rattling around inside. Sounded like a small piece of plastic. I saw no easy way to open. It doesn't affect the operation. I'm going to leave it and not worry about it. It's probably just something loose from the manufacturing process.

There should be a small hole on the bottom (middle of the bottom)...we inserted an unfolded paperclip and wiggled until it opened. We had trouble with this too and also wondered why there were no tools/instructions included...Sorry I can't be more helpful!!

I had the same problem at first, but after reading that others open it easily I tried again and found that it is best to open it from the corner, don't try to open it near the "clip." Now I, too, can open it with a "flick of a finger" as Beth responded earlier.

you need either a fingerprint or combination code to open it. the physical key is used to completely lock the safe, so neither of those 2 methods can be used, but it cannot be used by itself to open the safe

It's really hard! I've found that pushing it sideways with my thumbnail rather than trying to pull it open (the way it LOOKS like it should work!) will get it to pop open easiest. Otherwise, prying it open with a butterknife is the easiest on your hands.

Well you can but it will be a pain to get out in a hurry if you can get it out at all. I made a mistake buying the Homak and I suggest you add a few dollars more and buy a electronic safe that has a key or a mechanical safe, I had a terrible time getting my weapon out of safe and I think Homak is the worst on the market.

This safe is not exactly theft proof, as someone could carry it away and try to break it open. It is very heavy, however, which would make it far less likely to be stolen. I keep the key in a hidden place, so that documents cannot be easily stolen. The safe also has to be opened in a specific way, which would make it hard to open it in a rush even if they had access to the key. Hope this helps!

No. At least the model I purchased is combo only--and no key...but works quite well. However, the manual included covers a few models (some with combo + key) and it states "This safe requires combo + key. It is not possible to open if you lose key." So if you are looking at a version slightly different than mine which requires a key, you'll have to do both. I didn't want that option as I'd figure I'd either lose the key or get tired of carrying it around on my keychain.

Yes....you can by a cable with a lock also from amazon. We bought a 6 footer that loops thru predrilled "mounting" holes in the back of the safe, then looped the cable through one of the holes in the metal bed frame. We looped it so that the lock would be inside the safe, and away from someone trying to pick it, so we wouldn't have to carry around an extra key. Yes, someone can dismantle the bed to steal the safe but they would have to walk out with both the safe AND the metal bedframe tied together by the looping cable, which would be more of a hassle than any thief would likely want.

Hi Lisa,You don't. There's nothing electronic in connection with the safe. I have two of them and recommend this safe. Hope this helps.

this is an awkward safe. the door is small and getting your weapon out involves fiddling with it. so while it may be large enough its tough to use. I gave mine to my son and got a gun vault. add to that the battery hangs on a fragile cord and piece of velcro inside the safe. there is no key so you have to access it using the manufactuer code not the one you input

This is not a safe. It is only the plastic rack that goes inside a safe. I returend the item back.

If you hit the top of the safe while turning the handle at the right moment, it opens pretty easily. This safe is more of a toy... Here is a youtube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcYB9ceiAiY
