The C500 Pro key safe has up to 4,096 possible code combinations. Along with the P500 Pro key safe, it was the first mechanical key safe to attain a security accreditation in the UK, initially achieving level 1. They have both been improved and now hold LPS1175 Issue 8 A5 certification from BRE (Building Research Establishment) Global.
All key safes in our police preferred range, including the C500, are also built to police preferred specification by 'Secured by Design', the official UK police security initiative which certifies products proven to reduce crime.
Can someone guess my code?
This is highly unlikely as that person would need to know how long your code was and what numbers are in your code.
The more secure you make your code, the less likely it is that someone would be able to guess it. This is one of the reasons that we say not to set only a 4 digit code and to avoid common codes such as a year of birth or sequential numbers (e.g. 12345).
Our recommendation is to set a code that is 5-6 digits long.
Our key safe codes can only be changed by those who have the original code. The code changing mechanism is on the inside so someone would need to open the key safe with the code in order to change it.
If you have supplied your code to others but want to make sure that they cannot change your code, you can fit an anti-tamper device, such as a cover plate over the code mechanism internally. For the C500 Pro key safe this is called an Anti-Tamper code cover plate pack and is available via our website.
Although these plates do not increase the physical strength of the key safe, they restrict unauthorised persons from changing the code.
Buttons clicking
On mechanical key safes, the clicking of the buttons confirms that the number has been entered and registered.
For the C500 key safe, once you’ve pressed the button once, it will not click again until the mechanism has been reset (you can do this by pulling down the ‘CLEAR’ button’).
Stopping someone using your key safe
If you want to stop someone who has the code from opening your key safe, you will need to change the key safe code to a different combination. Just remember to give the new code to those that you want to be able to access your key safe such as your care provider. And keep a note of your new code somewhere safe as you will not be able to open your key safe without it.
You can change the code in your key safe as often as you wish.
