Safe Keeping Your Keys This Easter

Everyone wants to ensure the doors to their house are securely locked, especially during the Easter break. People are often on high alert with home break-ins and tend to protect their houses with high security locks. However, this can post potential inconvenience and risk to emergency services. Imagine if you’re living alone and have had an accident or medical emergency, valuable time would be wasted if your house is locked up by these high security locks. In order to solve this problem, more people are choosing to store their keys in an emergency key box installed at their front door. 

Emergency key boxes, also known as emergency key safes, are perfect for solving the issue mentioned above. These emergency key boxes are simple to use and secure when properly installed. They are placed near the main entrance door in most situations. A variety of emergency key boxes are available at Safeguard Safes for purchase and installation. Our emergency key safes are weatherproof and will function even in the most extreme weather conditions. Depending on the brand and size, emergency key boxes can cost anywhere from $50 to $300. 

The Kidde S5 is a popular choice amongst our customers, it costs $88.00 and is currently available on sale for $69.00. This key safe box holds up to 5 keys and can be attached securely to any wall or flat surface with mounting hardware included. The StrongBox design has a solid track record for unmatched quality and security. 

If you are after something with more functionality, you can look at the Abus key garage KG787 smart. It is available at $273.90 which is a bit more pricey for its extra features offered. It can be operated over Bluetooth via an app. The KeyGarage 787 Smart for wall mounting is a great option for holding up to 20 keys, three car keys or up to 30 plastic cards on a temporary and flexible basis for various groups of people. The administrator can set a 6 digit code for others in the app, giving them access to the contents kept in the smart KeyGarage box without requiring them to use a smartphone. This is a very handy function if you have people such as cleaning services, plumbers or electricians coming in. 

Emergency key boxes can be installed to a brick or concrete wall, when installing it to the wall we recommend using stronger screws. When the key safe is installed by Safeguard Safes, we often use the very latest masonry anchors available in the market.
