What’s the difference between certified and non-certified key safes?

Certified key safes are tested for burglary resistance and meet strict safety standards (e.g., SKG or LPS). Non-certified key safes offer basic protection and are suitable for low-risk environments like homes. Insurance companies often require certification, so check with your insurer.

Are key safes suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, many models are weather-resistant and designed for outdoor installation. Choose one with durable materials, weather seals, and solid mounting options to protect against theft or vandalism.

How do I choose the right key safe for my needs?

Consider how many keys need storage, the location of use, the security level required, and whether multiple users need access. For professional use (e.g. in care, hospitality, or construction), a well-organized key cabinet is recommended.

What are the main benefits of a key safe?

Key safes increase security, reduce key loss, and provide efficient access management for multiple users. They’re ideal for emergency access, service providers, or shared workspaces.

What should I consider when installing a key safe?

Install the key safe in a discreet yet accessible spot (e.g., on a solid wall). Use the supplied mounting materials and ensure it’s properly anchored. For outdoor use, ensure it’s weatherproof and sealed against moisture.
