Whether it’s for carers, family members, tradespeople, or holiday let guests, a properly fitted key safe gives trusted access without the risk of lost or copied keys circulating.
1st Pick Locksmiths fit key safes across North Wales, positioned and secured correctly for genuine protection, not just a quick screw-on job.
Elderly or vulnerable residents needing regular carer access are one of the most common reasons customers ask us to fit a key safe, removing the stress of coordinating key handovers or leaving a door unlocked.
Holiday let and Airbnb key handover is another frequent use, allowing guests to access the property independently at their arrival time without needing an in-person meet-up.
Family members needing emergency access, particularly for elderly relatives living alone, is a further common scenario.
Tradespeople requiring entry when you’re not home, such as for deliveries, cleaners, or maintenance visits, round out the most typical reasons for installation.
Not all key safes offer the same level of security. Basic combination key safes are suitable for lower-risk situations, while police-approved options, often certified under the Secured by Design scheme, offer significantly greater resistance to tampering and forced attack.
If you’re reviewing your property’s security, our lock replacement and upgrades service can help you explore suitable lock improvements. For doors with faulty locking components, learn more about our uPVC mechanism replacement service. Some home insurance policies may also specify requirements for externally stored keys, so check your policy before choosing a key safe.
These may also be specifically required by some home insurance policies if you’re storing a key externally.
A poorly fitted key safe is a security risk in itself. If it’s not anchored into a genuinely solid surface, it can potentially be pulled or forced off the wall entirely.
We fit to solid brick, block, or stone wherever possible, using appropriate fixings for a genuinely secure installation, and can advise if your specific wall requires a different approach.
Beyond the fixing itself, where a key safe is positioned matters for both security and convenience.
We consider visibility from the street, weather exposure, and ease of access for the intended user when recommending a location, rather than simply fitting it to the nearest convenient wall.
