Where should I install my key safe?
We recommend that all key safes are installed discretely to minimise the risk of attracting attention. If necessary, the product can be placed more noticeably, but you will need to assess the risk yourself.
Ideally, it should be in a position that provides light for the user and allows ease of access to open the key safe and also for code management. Also consider the height of installation, can it be easily reached by all users? Can you see inside the key safe once it is installed to be able to change the code?
Please note that key safes are to be installed a minimum of 6 inches away from any edge of wall.
Do I have to fit a key safe by my front door?
It is a common misconception that a key safe generally stores a front door key, and therefore must be installed next to the front door.
Our key safes do not require a power supply, so can be positioned anywhere. This includes inside meter boxes, or at the rear of the property.
Ideally, it should be in a position of easy access to the user which you may decide is near the front door. As our police preferred key safes have a recognised security rating which is comparable to a front door, you are not compromising your security by installing it here.
