Key safe fitting in Barnsley

What is a key safe

They are usually small boxes fixed to a building’s exterior. Inside, we store keys for home access. Care workers, nurses, and carers used these keys when they came on the market. They would visit properties. The occupant, disabled or infirm, couldn’t reach the door. This system allowed the caregiver to get the key. Then, she could enter the house without requiring the householder to let her in. It also removed the need for the client to get another set of keys cut. It also spared the carer from carrying dozens of keys for the many houses they visited. Instead, they needed a four or 6-digit code to get the key. They used it to enter the house and left the key in the safe when leaving for the next visit. If you require a key safe fitting in Barnsley read on.

Key safes have been increasing in popularity

Now, their appeal is spreading. People are finding key safes helpful in other situations. They can store a spare set of keys. If you lose your key while out, you will still get into your house. This will give you extra time. You can either a) search for the key or b) get a locksmith to change the locks. Any time you lose a key, you should do this. You never know where it’s ended up.

Key safes are also used instead of passing a key around. For example, they give access to family or friends without getting more keys cut. You can even use them if a tradesperson needs access to your house. Please make sure they are reputable. But give them the code if you can’t be at home. They can let themselves in to do the work and then put the key back. Remember to change the code soon after their visit for security reasons. Of course, make sure to change the code.

 

 

Are they secure

Knowing that a key to your property is left outside can sometimes feel disturbing. After all, the keys to your home are in there, but it is certainly better than leaving them under the mat.

Key safes like the Supra 500 Plus are different, though. They have been designed to give extra security. The combination of possible codes is over 4000, making it virtually impossible to decode. It also has an attack-resistant liner, making it ideal for the elderly and people living with Dementia or Alzheimer’s.
