Rotherham key safe fitting

Need to keep a spare set of keys somewhere?

In certain circumstances, you must have a spare key available outside a property. Carers who require access to a property where a vulnerable person resides use them regularly. Airbnb lets use them to let residents come and go without the need for the owner to be present. Commercial environments will use them for empty units on occasion. We can help with a Rotherham key safe fitting service.

What to be aware of

You don’t need to put a key safe in plain sight. Think about it: there is a key inside that box- smash it up, and you have a key! Placement is critical, and finding a hidden place is a must. The carers prefer it under a light next to the entrance door, but I don’t. You have to put the safety of the person you care for first.

Key safes can be  very secure

Key safes are a very secure way to store keys, but you get what you pay for. Google will sell you a cheap version for £9.99. To be honest, you may as well not even bother locking it, for they are so insecure. Or you could go for the Supra P500 police-approved key safe. These are the only ones I recommend now.

Change code for key safes

You can also use key safes to provide one-off access to friends, family, or trusted workers. Just leave a set of keys in the safe.  It’s much more secure than leaving a key hidden outside. After the visit, you can remove the key and close the door. For extra security, you can and should change the key safe code often. This is especially true if you share it with someone you may not trust.
