Today, I bought a safe. I put all of my most prized possessions in it, including all of my jewelry, family heirlooms and important papers. Oh, and just before I locked it up, I put the key to the safe in there too. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, someone burgled my hotel room. As always, I had locked my passport, extra cash, and other valuables in the closet safe, so I thought the losses would be superficial. What a discovery that the safe hadn't been fastened to the closet shelf, so the thief just picked it up and took it home. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. I had a spare key in my wallet, that I also left in the car. FML
Today, I was fed up with things being taken from my room so I installed a key-locking handle on my door. I installed everything but the door knobs, and because I was worried that I would put the two of them on backwards, I closed the door to check. I'm now locked in my room. FML
Today, after months of wondering what a mysterious key I found in an old kitchen drawer unlocked, I finally discovered it fit the lock on a storage unit. I opened it and found a box containing three other keys I had also forgotten about. FML
Today, I spent the entire day packing my car full of boxes for my move tomorrow. When I finally finished, I realized I didn't have the car key. It's inside one of the boxes. FML
Today, my daughter used her spare key to get into my house while I was at work, then took and pawned off all of my jewelry. She only confessed when I confronted her with video camera footage. Her defense was that I told her I'd leave her everything in my will. Honey, I'm not dead yet. FML
Today, I left a note on the kitchen table saying to leave the door unlocked because I lost my key. I come home to find our house ransacked and robbed. Minutes later, I found my key. In my pocket. FML
Today, I locked my keys in my car. Good thing I went to Lowe's to make spares, which are also now locked in the car. FML
Today, I took a picture of the combination to my new lock so I would always have it on my phone if I ever forgot it. I put my phone in my gym locker, locked it with the new lock, then promptly forgot the combination. FML
Today, I lost my keys. My roommate locked me out, then yelled at me when I made her come home to let me in. I tore my room apart searching for them, and even went out to search my locker room. When I got home, I glanced at my wall only to find my keys hanging on the hook I set up specifically for them. FML

Don't you need the key to lock it? If not, shouldn't you at least have a spare? At least now you can use it like those old fashioned piggy banks. Smash it! But in your case, you may need to use a diamond saw.

I am pretty sure the manufacturer has someway to open it easily. Something similar happened to me in a hotel. The bell captain then opened the safe with a pocket knife and hairpins.

... How did you lock it if the key was inside...? Or do you not need the key to lock it? If this question has already been answered, be nice, I haven't read the other comments. :)

My safe has both a key lock, with two keys, and a combination lock, the safe locks automatically when I close the door and lift the handle. It also has a key lock that if pushed in, without the key being in it, will lock the safe again. When that button is pushed in I need the key to release it or I can't get the safe open even if I put the combination in. There are also bigger safes that when you close the door they have handles that spin and lock the bars into place. These do not require keys to close but do require keys to open. Now, I am pretty sure that all safes come with a manual that has a customer service number on it that you can call if that exact thing happens and they will send you a new key with verification of the product serial number and model number but you will have to pay for it. I know they will send someone to my house free of charge to open my safe because it has a warranty. So yes you can lock a key in a safe and yes it is very easy to get it open again.
