Product Description A key safe is a small, discreet safe which stores keys securely. It requires a code to be entered in order to gain access to the safe, for security we recommend between 5 - 7 characters for your code.Using a key safe is a secure way to allow multiple visitors to have access to a property without a large volume of keys being in circulation. A key safe is useful to avoid losing door keys and is much safer than leaving them under a mat - simply place them in the safe as you leave the property and use the code to release them when you come home.A key safe is ideal for use at the residence of an elderly person, or someone with additional needs or disabilities. It helps trusted carers, family and neighbours to access the house when required or in an emergency.There are many types of key safe on the market today, but this KeySafe C500 is one of the safest and most secure models available. It has achieved both the Police 'Secured by Design' initiative standard and accreditation by the Loss Prevention Certification Board.It is extremely robust, being made of a heavy gauge, stainless steel and zinc alloy shell with a double wall construction. A clutch mechanism prevents the handle from being forced open. A stainless steel plate around the buttons adds additional security. It is secure against physical attack when mounted on a brick wall with the included masonry screws. Installation should be undertaken by someone with competent DIY skills. To install, you will need the following equipment which is not supplied with the product: power drill, 5mm drill bit, Torx drive screwdriver bit (T30 size), pen/pencil and measuring device (i.e. tape measure).

It's quite easy to set the code in the first place - simply turn the black latch until the front opens, and then even further until the inside of the keypad opens to reveal small dials for each of the numbers and letters on the front keypad. There's a plastic 'code change' tool inside the KeySafe to use to turn the dials of the preferred numbers in the order of your memorable code. To open the device, simply enter the correct code, turn the black latch easily and the front is lowered down to reveal the keys in storage.The C500 KeySafe includes a tough, weatherproof cover made of rubber, to protect against the elements and also disguise the safe.The overall size of the KeySafe is 14.3 cm (6”) in height, 7.9cm (3.25”) in width and 6.4cm (2½”) in depth.
