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.

Police approved Safety boxes

There are a few Units on the market place that have a seal of approval from the police. With the extra security these units offer. We will be reviewing these in the coming weeks and will post our feed back on the best unit. Often the most expensive is not the best. We will keep you posted in the meantime here is the police guidance for key box installations

Police forces recommend key safes that carry the Secured by Design (SBD) official police preferred specification, with top model choices including the Supra C500 Pro, Supra P500 Pro, and ark Tamo. These units have passed rigorous physical attack tests by independent bodies like the Loss Prevention Certification Board (LPCB).

Top Police-Recommended Key Safes

Supra C500 Pro: The most widely used mechanical push-button model in the UK, holding an LPS1175 Issue 8 A5 security rating.
Supra P500 Pro: Features the same high-level physical attack resistance and SBD accreditation.
ark Tamo / Tamo Pro: A maximum-security line achieving higher LPS1175 ratings (A10 and B1) for extreme resistance against physical break-in attempts.

Proper Installation

A key safe is only as secure as its mounting. Police guidelines state they must be bolted directly into solid brick or concrete walls using the manufacturer’s heavy-duty fixings—never onto weak surfaces like wooden panels or standard house render without specialised backing.

Best place to install a key safe.

The best place to put an outdoor key safe box is a discreet, low-visibility location such as behind a drainpipe, obscured by a plant or window box, or near a side door rather than right next to the main front entrance.
