Spare Key Safety with a Key Safe

If you have ever lost your house keys or given a key to someone who later proved untrustworthy you will already understand the usefulness of a home key safe. Likewise, if you have just moved into a previously occupied house or apartment, you may be worried that a stranger has a key to your home.

Do you really know how many people have a key to your door, relatives, neighbors, ex boyfriends or girlfriends, maintenance people, your superintendent, the ex housekeeper, the person who once watered the plants when the previous owners were on vacation… the possible list goes on and on. And let's remember that most houses have more than one door.

So you decide to get new key lock equipment installed on your property or have a locksmith re-key each individual lock and now it's done, and it was expensive, but you feel secure. You have the only key to all your doors… well… except for the duplicates you had cut for your sister and the other set you left with your parents for when they come to town and the one you'll give to the cleaning company that comes two days a week while you're at work, and the one for the garage that you left for the gardener, and the one you'll soon give to the company who will send someone to water your plants while you're away and… oh yes… the one you left under the mat because you sometimes forget your keys… and naturally you made a set for the children who get home from school before you get back from the office and your wife has a set too, of course, and she made a copy because she too forgets her keys sometimes, you think she hid a set in the garage just in case and she also made a copy for her parents and her best friend who just pops into town a few times a year and… You're right back where you started… you only THINK your locks and keys are securing your possessions…

Do you really know where all those keys you have given out will end up or who will lose them and who will find them and who will make copies?

All those sets of keys for everyone who YOU want to have temporary access to your door can be replaced with a single key that is left securely in a keysafe – which is a small secure box with a code, fixed to one location, that everyone who needs to can access and everyone else can't. The children come home early, the key is there for them to use. They replace it and it's there for the maintenance man who uses it and replaces it in the secure key cabinet box. The maid arrives and opens the door and puts it back so that it's there in its secret place for when your sister or parents or in-laws or friends arrive. And when you go on holidays, your house key is there for someone you've selected to enter and water your plants, and when you forget your keys or your wife loses hers, there's the spare key, not under a mat, but just a few clicks of a button away – secure and safe and available to you and those who YOU decide have the code.
