Our secure Key box with code is the simple and cost effective solution for many people.

The key safe with code was designed to keep your house key safe and secure, waiting until it is required to access to your home. The original wall mounted keysafe with code was designed for the real estate market in the USA where it was generally attached to the outside of a building. Although many variations now exist, such as the magnetic keysafe and the padlock key safe, the original wall mounted models remain the most popular. Recently certain models have also been installed within the letter box (where it can be attached using strong glue or strong Velcro) or attached to the window of vehicles!

The key safe with code is particularly popular with :

  • Families with school children. In our experience school children often forget their keys especially if they have to change school bags ... and receiving a phone call from your child who can not enter the house can create a real problem ... especially in winter.
  • Home care workers. Most home care companies now insist that a secure key box with code is installed at the property as key management for these companies can be extremely complicated otherwise.
  • The cleaning lady. If you have someone regularly visiting yout home but do not want to give them their own key (which they could lose) ... then the key safe with code is a good solution.
  • People working at a property. This could include the plumber, the electrician or similar.
  • Rental properties. Having a spare key easily accessible at a rental property can have numerous benefits and grreatly simplify passing keys between people who need them. For my families holiday home no one had the key. You simply arrived, took the key from the secure key safe, opened the door then returned the key to the secure key box. The keys for the property were on a hook inside the house and were used by everyone with the main key staying in the secure keysafe.
All of our secure key boxes are completely mechanical. This is very important for three main reasons.

A secure keysafe with code is an insurance .. so it must work when it is needed. It may be needed many times a day, once a month, once a year or even less frequently. No matter how often it is needed, it must be ready. If the secure keysafe with code had a battery, then this could fail. If the secure keysafe with code was connected to the power supply, then it would not work in a power cut.

As the secure keysafe with code does not require power, it can be fitted much more simply than if electricity is required. All it needs is four screws or if installed in the post box or milk box, some suitable strong glue or Velcro.

Electronic devices generally need to be updated. They also susceptible to viruses or other forms of attack. Mechanical devices do not have these issues.

So the mechanical solution, whilst possibly a little old fashioned is perfect for this situation. In addition, all of our secure keysafe with code have security codes which can be set by the owner. With all models of secure keysafe with code, changing the code is very simple.

We stock all levels of secure key safe with code from budget models to the very best. The price variation across the product range is not that large (from 65 to 160 francs).

In general the level of security increases with price. It is also very noticeable how the weight also increases.

The most secure secure key safe with code are generally those from Supra.




Key safes have either wheel or push button combination. Wheel combinations can be more difficult to use when it is very cold especially if the wheels are close together.

The Yale 500 has its combination wheels set as far apart as possible.

Since Supra's first secure keysafe with code came to the market in the late 1960s, many other manufacturers have entered the market.

The main manufacturers remain American companies, with Supra (also marketed under the names GE and Kidde) and Masterlock, the two leading manufacturers.

Many other companies have now copied these two market leaders, but are these secure keysafe with code as good as the originals?

In some cases, yes, in some cases, no. While many cheaper key safes have entered the market, Supra / Kidde and Masterlock remain the leading manufacturers. Other well-known companies, such as Yale, have a small presence, but most other brands, mostly Asian copies, rely on price differentiation.




As with most manufactured goods, there are differences between market leaders and other manufacturers who are following the market with cheaper products.

Market leaders tend to protect their reputation and are therefore generally more expensive. Other manufacturers entering the market and are trying to differentiate their secure keysafe with code by price, almost always leads to a differentiation in manufacturing quality and the cost of materials used.

Materials: The best secure keysafe with code manufacturers like Supra use strong metal alloys to ensure the security of their code key boxes. Some copies are much more fragile to hammer or blunt instrument attacks.

Quality: The quality of manufacture and longevity of the secure key box can be very different. The major manufacturers in the market are again protective of their reputation and their secure keysafe with code are generally very reliable.




The original secure keysafe with code was developed to be fixed to a wall. This wall secure keysafe with code had a removable door which allowed access to four fixing points where screws could be used to firmly attach the key box in a secure manner.

The wall keysafe with code was the only type available for some time but eventually the need arose, mostly from the real estate market in the united states, for a less permanet way having a key box at a property.

This led to the developement of the padlock style keysafe with code. This could be deployed when a property was for sale, then easily removed when the property was sold without any remedial works being necessary. Designed to be fitted to a railing or door handle, the padlock key box is very popular for temporary use.

As the keysafe with code became more and more well known, other situations arose where people wanted to use a key box for convenience. Tow examples of this are the car keysafe with code and the magnetic keysafe with code.

The car keysafe with code is generally a standard wall key box but with a special fixing bracket designed to fit over a car window. To install simply lower the window, hook the car keysafe with code over the window and close the window. The car keysafe with code is then securely installed and ready for use.

The magnetic keysafe with code is a slightly different concept. Designed to be used where a traditional keysafe with code can not be installed, the magnetic key box is small, lightweight with a 3 digit code and a strong magnet. It is designed to be concealed and to offer a basic level of security.

Other adaptations over recent years have seen the rise in popularity of the post box keysafe with code. This is the use of a wall key box installed on the inside of large letter boxes using strong glue.
