For home care, the right key safe should be easy to use, dependable and suitable for the installation point. The main questions are where it can be fitted, who will use it and how often.
1. Where can it be installed?
Wall mounting works when drilling is permitted. In rented properties or where a more discreet solution is preferred, a suitable mailbox installation or Velcro fixing can be a better option.
- Outside wall or suitable fixed mounting point
- Mailbox or protected position for greater discretion
- Velcro when the safe may need to be removed later
- Adhesive for a permanent no-drill installation
2. Who will use it and how often?
For regular care visits or several authorised users, ease of operation matters. Push buttons can be easier than small number wheels for frequent users, older people or anyone with reduced finger dexterity.
- Occasional use: simple familiar operation
- Frequent use: prioritise robustness and ease of use
- Several users: code can be shared and then changed
- Reduced dexterity: push buttons can be easier

Managing the code safely
Only give the code to authorised people, avoid obvious combinations and change it when someone no longer needs access. Always test a new code several times with the safe open.

Our recommendations for Spitex and home care
For permanent wall mounting, the GE500 Pro is a robust high-security option. The Supra S5 with Velcro combines exceptional robustness and proven reliability with a removable no-drill fixing. The Burton KeyGuard with Velcro is an excellent push-button no-drill alternative. The Supra S5 with adhesive provides the same robust, reliable S5 mechanism for a permanent no-drill installation.

GE500 Pro – wall mounted and high security
The Supra GE 500 Pro is our high-security mechanical key safe for situations where protection of the stored keys is the priority. It is particularly well suited to homes, apartment buildings, businesses, home care, property management and other regularly used shared-access locations.
Its reinforced zinc-alloy construction, attack-resistant design and fully mechanical push-button locking system make it a distinctly security-focused alternative to standard key safes. The GE 500 Pro is independently tested to LPCB LPS 1175 Issue 8 A5 and has Secured by Design – Police Preferred status in the UK. There are no batteries, no app and no electronics, while the code can be changed whenever authorised users change.
The protective cover helps shield the mechanism from weather and dirt. We recommend the GE 500 Pro when high security, resistance to attack and exceptionally robust construction matter more than price or compact size.
