Key safe box information

What is a key safe box?

A key safe box is a device that is fitted to a building allowing the safe store of keys. Generally most are small in size and can fit a couple of keys in. The purpose is to have keys safely stored at the property which can be accessed by anyone who knows the code to open the box. Under the black cover is a combination lock which once set to the correct password will allow the user access to the keys that are held within the safe.

Are key safes a good idea?

Key safes can be time saving for a lot of families and businesses. People who have home assistance like cleaners, gardners, healthcare assistants all benefit from the key safe with the keys always being onsite so no one forgets their keys and it means you are limiting the amount of people that have keys. As a parent I am a big fan if my child forgets their set of keys when in school we know a set is there.

My neighbour has access so when we are on holiday they are able to feed our animals. A key safe can avoid the need to call out an emergency lockssmith because you have lost your keys. Air Bnb providers use them as the keys for their property are constantly switching hands and it means they don’t have to have anyone waiting around for handover.
