Keysafes - What are they and why do i need one?

There is nothing more frustrating than losing a set of keys and getting locked outside. If you are one of those forgetful people, you are probably looking for a way to ensure you always know where your keys are at all times. At Lock Supplies, we believe that a key safe can be the answer to all of your security, and forgetfulness issues.

This small device can be used to house your precious keys in a commercial or residential capacity. This way you will never lose your keys, and can also help you set up a shared access situation without the annoying handing over of keys. At Lock Supplies, we love key safes, and we hope to help you understand just what’s so good about these devices.

Designed to be discreet, a key safe comes in the form of a small box with a combination locking mechanism. These safes are designed to be small enough that only those who know the exact location of the safe will be able to find them. Often, these safes are used as a ‘spare key’ option for a home and use a four-digit code-lock. Designed by experts, these small safes, are as secure as the large steel safes that house guns and valuables.

The use of key safes is becoming more common for Australian homeowners, as well as businesses. There are many reasons for using a key safe that extend further than just the conveniences of having a secure spare key.

Many different commercial businesses are electing to use key safes. This could be schools, automotive businesses where there is a form of drop-off system, AirBnB and short term holiday homes and more recently, Real Estate agencies. At Lock Supplies, we have seen a considerable increase in real estate companies using these devices when multiple agents need access to a single property at different times or property managers need to share access to tradespeople. This shows that these small (and cheap) devices can increase productivity in a business, as well as convenience.

A key safe can be used for a number of residential reasons. Whether it is just for security and ease of access to your property, or to be used as a form of exchange for bed and breakfast or real estate-based businesses. Access to your home is precious, and a secure safe if a great way to ensure the convenience of knowing where your keys are, but ensure that that cannot be readily accessed by the public.

A key safe should be considered for any home or business owner looking for a secure and safe way to house multiple or single keys. Whether this is just for a simple access alternative, or for business reasons, Lock Supplies will have a key safe that suits your application and desire.
