I have tried one or two key safes of this type before but this one has to be the easiest to use and to reprogram. This would be an excellent choice for carers or Airbnb properties.
The idea of this, as with other key safes, is that it can be used by carers or other designated callers to give temporary access to keys or other small items from outside the home without disturbing the occupants. Using the keypad combination number the carer can open the key safe in which the house or room key is stored. They then return the key to the safe after use. The combination lock code can be reset easily if circumstances change.
Inside the plain white box – more attractive packaging would surely help with sales – were the key safe itself and a small but well-written colour User Guide, a scan of which I attach to the end of my unboxing video.
The lock seems robust and well made and capable of withstanding the weather when used outdoors as well as resisting casual attempts to open it by force. It can be secured to the wall by up to five screws but even if the safe was removed from the wall retrieving the contents would be no easy matter.
The device is supplied with the default combination lock number of 0000 and can be opened by raising the small ran flap and pressing the small switch upwards. This allows the centre section of the safe to open to give access to the 9.1cm x 6.4cm x 3.2cm interior storage area which is large enough for several normal sized keys and some credit cards and which also houses the reprogramming mechanism.
Resetting the combination lock number is very simple, far from the fiddly and complex method on some rival units. Open the box using the default combination and then press the well-marked rest lever inside over across from position A to position B. Close the lock and input the new combination number, open it again inside return the switch to position A. That's it, that is all you need to do. The little lever can be quite hard to push but that aside it is all easy enough as the lever is easy to access even when the box is wall mounted.
Priced at £10.99 on Amazon this seems a secure and inexpensive way of securing key access to your home or to allow carers or guests to enter. The robust and heavy duty design makes it reassuringly secure and the reprogrammable combination lock makes it safe for long term use.
