There are many reasons one may choose to use a key safe. You may desire to keep a spare key outside the home for specific visitors. They are a viable option when dealing with holiday homes, cleaning services, or dog walkers. It also provides a safe space for you to keep your spare key. But is it a safe option?
How Safe is a Key Safe?
A key safe is basically a box that you attach to the wall outside your home that holds the key to your house. From this point of view, we can see why some people may shy away from using them.
It is important to remember that they are designed to be secure. As with most locks, the more expensive you buy the more secure they are. The cost reflects the quality of the lock itself, not the value of the parts.
The first key safe made went through rigorous testing. This one was named the Supra C500, and is as safe as your front door. So, if you buy a quality safe unit for your keys you know it will be as safe, if not safer, then the main locks to your home.
