KeySafe™ is a tough metal key storage box with GE's patented TouchPoint locking mechanism that can be fixed securely to a wall or temporarily locked onto a door or fence. The TouchPoint mechanism has 10 push buttons that allow you to enter a code of your choice in any one of 1,024 combinations. It is simple enough for children to use. It is easy to set or change codes whenever you wish.



In the United States, the KeySafe™ has been the top selling outside key storage unit for over 20 years. The KeySafe™ is made of tough die-cast zinc with water- and rust-resistant push buttons. To last even longer, we suggest purchasing the protective weather cover, which is available for most of the models.



All KeySafe™ models are compact and unobtrusive, making them ideal key safes for small businesses and private homes. They are easily installed without external power sources or connections. Their simple operation means that even unskilled users can use them successfully.



For anyone who requires multiple visitors but either cannot or has difficulty getting to the door, KeySafe™ represents a much safer method of allowing authorized persons entry into your property - no more keys under the mat, no more doors left unlocked and no more issuing lots of keys to relatively unknown people. KeySafe™ also works hand in hand with alarm companies or emergency personnel, providing access in the event of an emergency should the key holder be unavailable - no more police forced entry.



In accordance with our fitting instructions, whenever possible the KeySafe™ should be fitted covertly - out of sight is out of mind. Remember, for somebody to potentially break into the box, they need to know it's fitted.

Assuming an opportunist finds the KeySafe™ and decides to try to get into it, there are basically two ways of opening the box. The first way is by entering the code. As the opportunist won't know the code, before he or she can set about trying to crack the code there is one vital piece of information regarding the code needed before starting - How many digits are there in the code? Without this information, there is no starting point and because most codes we use during our normal daily activities have 4 digits, i.e. ATM cards, PIN numbers, debit cards, etc. we recommend using a 5 or 6 digit code for the KeySafe™ - if the opportunist entered every possible 4 digit code into a KeySafe™ that has more than 4 digits programmed, the box would never be accessed.

Having a realistic chance of accessing the box means that he or she would have to enter all of the 1 digit code possibilities, all of the 2 digit code possibilities, all of the 3 digit code possibilities and so on - very laborious and all on the basis that there may be a key inside! The other way is to knock the box off the wall and then smash it to pieces - not only noisy and time consuming, the opportunist would need tools such as a large hammer and chisel, and most opportunist thieves do not risk carrying around such equipment.

An opportunist thief is much more likely to shoulder a door or break a window, accessing and leaving the property in a fraction of the time it would take to overcome a KeySafe™. Please note that we have never been made aware of a property being broken into as a direct result of having a KeySafe™ fitted - why bother trying to overcome a KeySafe™ when there are clearly much quicker an easier ways of breaking and entering?



The crime prevention officers we have met have been very impressed, and hold KeySafe™ in high regard when comparing it to traditional methods of managing a key. Many recommend the use of KeySafe™ together with neighborhood watch groups and other security measures.



Police statistics suggest that a large proportion of burglaries are committed by opportunist thieves at properties that have less than satisfactory security arrangements. Leaving a key under the mat or behind a pot plant - burglars know to check these places - or leaving the door unlocked all day to allow visitors' access will dramatically increase the vulnerability of both the property and any occupants. Issuing lots of keys is not the answer. How can you be sure that duplicate keys are not being cut? Using a KeySafe™ means there is only one key, stored at your property, protected by an access code that is only issued to selected persons.



Insurance companies have made it very clear that leaving keys under mats or issuing lots of keys to different people would void a contents insurance policy. For a homeowner to make a claim on a contents insurance policy there must be evidence of forced entry.

As a case has never occurred of access being gained unlawfully via a KeySafe™, the insurance companies could not answer whether or not breaking into the KeySafe™ would constitute forced entry and until such an event occurred and a precedent was set, there was no definitive answer.

KeySafe™ is a much safer way of allowing multiple persons access into your property when compared to the traditional methods.



No. It is a common misconception that because KeySafe™ generally stores the front door key, it has to be mounted next to the front door. Since KeySafe™ does not require a power supply and does not operate the door, it can be located anywhere - meter boxes, bin bays, porches, the side or rear of the property or even bolted to the floor - the options are unlimited.

Wherever you choose to site the KeySafe™, always use appropriate bolts or screws to ensure a secure fit. You can also purchase a weatherproof cover that protects the keys from rain and disguises the box, leaving it looking similar to an electrical junction box.
