External Key Safe

[mysticsniper]

Does anyone have one of these currently, any issues?

There is plenty to choose from and most reviews on the rain forest show to be badly designed, easy to crack, not using sequential codes etc..

Looking to spend around £200, will pay more for something special.

https://keysafe.co.uk/c500-keysafe.html is the one I fitted here when outside help started to be needed. It hasn't actually been used that much (because I'm always here now), so I can't comment too much on wear & tear, but it's incredibly solidly made. It would be quicker to drill out the lock on the door or dismantle a window frame than get into the keysafe.

That's one of the products which has been slaughtered in the reviews. So if you have for example your code set as 1234 if someone put in 4321, or 3214 or 2341, etc it will still open.

Could you confirm?

That's pretty much how any keypad lock works though? I've never seen a non digital one that doesn't?

We've got a ton of key pad door looks in that style at work and they all do that, there's still a huge combination of unique patterns though so the chances of guessing are pretty much nil for a normal person.

I'm a fan of hiding a key in a small tin somewhere else on the property assuming its not a flat.

There are plenty of manual sequential key pads, mainly for door locks or internal safes, not seen any for external key safes sadly

Unfortunately most people who have one of these are not that technically savy and will use a combination that is easy to remember. Easy for everyone else as well.
