About the Keypad/Combination Lock

These units have a keypad/combination lock to keep the unit secured at all times. You can either unlock the door with the digital keypad, or the combination lock. The reason there are both is if the battery dies in the digital keypad, the door can still be unlocked with the traditional combination lock.
