Hey Kevin, yes the Dexter A-60 Actuator part # DX49FR does come with a manual override lockout key. If for some reason you were to lose it (it looks easy to lose) we have a replacement with the part # DX94FR. This inserts into the slot opening just behind the round portion of the inner member which prevents it from sliding back.
