Keysafe advise
 

As you may know my mum has been left paralysed by the Coronavirus.

She is currently in a nursing home, and we are in the process of turning the dining room in to a room to put a hospital bed.

The snag is some cabinets we wanted in there have to go (now it's fun boxing it and storing it safely.)

As she will need a carer coming in 4 times a day and possible someone sitting with her overnight.

As such we need to get a key safe to allow carers to enter the house at odd hours. Can anyone recommend one (Preferable Amazon). It will be under some cover.

We got this one for mum in law’s house for the same reason - worked well.

Some advice from the Police - make sure the key box is out of sight of passersby; reduces the chance of scrotes knocking it off the wall, breaking into it, then using the key to get in the house.

Re: Keysafe advise
 

We used one of these (but got it from Toolstation as I was going there almost daily and it was a bit cheaper ;)) when we were renovating the new house so all the trades could get in without being around. It worked OK, you can change the combination whenever you need to. However, if someone rips it off the wall then they have a key for the house - but if they're going to do that then they probably wouldn't give too hoots about breaking in without a key.

I bought on from Keysafe.co.uk it was dearer than the one you mention but seems more robust.

Mine as installed by the council, has a dark brown cover. Making it less obvious as to what it is. Not sure a combination lock is going to be that secure, as the tendency, will be to leave it on the unlock code, especially if it's being used regularly.

As I did not qualify for council supply I had to bye mine, AGE UK fitted it.

Re: Keysafe advise
 

My point was more about the appearance, and also that I have no idea where it was bought.


Looked inside the box. It seems to be one(or very similar) of these.

More expensive, but claims to be Police approved, and one of only 2 achieving a high security rating.
