Key safes are fast becoming a popular area of our website and it’s a vast area to search. With the increasing need to lock up and organise your keys securely, the key safe and key cabinets range is growing all the time.

But where do you start?

We know not everyone’s a safes expert, so here’s our simple key safes buying guide

Small exterior key safes

Let’s start small in the smallest area of key safes. Small exterior key safes allow you to safely store your spare key outside your home or office. This could be simply to keep a spare outside your home in case of a lock out, or to give access to a trusted individuals like a carer or cleaner. Small exterior key safes are very popular with care homes or homes with elderly residents as they allow you to give access to multiple ‘non-residents’ and key holders.

Exterior key safes have a push button code on the front which you can change easily and as many times as you like. Most of our exterior key safes are police approved and our most popular one is the KS0002 from Phoenix Safes.

Key boxes

We have a range of small key boxes too. These are not designed to be secured to the wall like the key safes and are more suited to keeping cash safe in an office drawer or somewhere discreet in the home. These small units are just a small level of security and are no replacement for a home or office safe… they more for keeping your cash away from opportunistic thieves.

Key cabinets

Key cabinets are for storing more than one or two keys and are a great way to organise your keys in a system everyone can work with. Key cabinets are ideally suited to car showrooms, car hire businesses or businesses and warehouse that need to organise lots of keys. Most key cabinets come with coloured tags and a space to number or name them and have hooks to hang them in order. Key management is an important part of many businesses and a key cabinet is the best way to achieve key organisation greatness.

Our key cabinets start from storage for around 20 keys and go up to cabinets for over 1000 keys.

High security key storage

If you’re looking for security as well as organisation then high security storage is for you. Built from a thicker metal and with higher grade locks, these cabinets are designed to keep your keys organised and away from the wrong hands. All our key cabinets come with a well-made and lockable construction, but these are a step up on the security.

High security key safes are ideal for storing keys to high value items and to satisfy your insurance company. These key cabinets are very popular with businesses who have to manage a fleet of vehicles like new cars or rentals.

Stay safe and organised

Above all else, key safes keep your keys under lock and key. Staying organised and secure is the name of the game in the key safes and key cabinets range. Bear in mind the type of keys that you’re storing as some keys are more bulky and may need a deep key cabinet. When looking to store other items with the keys you need to consider the type of safe and also that key safes don’t usually have a cash rating so you wouldn’t be insured if you stored cash inside them. Try our range of cash safes if that’s what you need.
