I have a relatively small (1.2 cu ft) safe that has both a key and a dial. The key looks sort of like a computer cable key, it's round bar with grooves.
When I am on vacation the safe is locked with both the key and the dial (the key doesn't override the dial, they act independently).
When I am in and out of the house, however, I only use the key - there are some papers and checks in the safe which I have to access every now and then, dialing combo every time is a PITA. We only have 2 keys for it, one is always on my keychain, another locked in a drawer at work.
The question - is it a bad idea ? Would it be easy for someone who doesn't have access to the key to open the safe if I don't use combo dial ?
