MKS-2
This is my second K'nex safe, but the first one was only a slide show, while this is an I'ble. This one is not the same one, and while it has many similarities to it, it does have some (rather significant) differences which make it better and probably more practical than the first.

Use
To use first make 2 keys like those in the first image. Then insert them in the holes on both sides of the safe as in image 2, and make sure that the end of the keys goes into the hole in the gray connector in the back as in image 3. Then turn both keys towards the middle as in image 4, the left key clockwise, the right key counter-clockwise. That should pull back the pins which lock the door of the safe and you should be able to open. It may not work too smoothly because of the rubberbands but you can always help the pins move yourself. Then to close, make sure the pins are back, close the door, and release the pins and remove the keys to let them insert themselves in the door and lock it. If they don't do this automaticly, move the door around so the pins go into the holes in it.
If you want it to use different keys, then you'll need to modify it yourself to accept different keys. The safe can be modified quite a bit and it will still work.
Note: This safe is not created to protect valuables and important objects. It can be broken into with relative ease so do not use it as real safe. I am not responsible for any losses, damages, and/or injuries and deaths caused by this instructable. That responsibility is yours.
