Best Key Safe Review Australia

 

When I think of key safes, the one brand that really stands out is the Kidde key safe range.  Common uses for key safes are: keeping a spare key to prevent being locked out, holiday houses, easy access for carers, farm gate keys and the list goes on.

 

Kidde key safes are reliable and come in several sizes including a 2 key, 3 key, 5 key and 7 key.  The 2 key and 7 key are available with a rubber cover which is perfect if the key safe is subjected to rain and dust. If the key safe is fitted in a sheltered area, there is no real need to use the rubber cover.  Kidde uses a push button combination which makes it quick and easy to use compared to some other brands which use a 4 wheel combination. Changing the combination on Kidde keys safes is very easy.

It's important when fitting the key safe to securely attach it to a wall or post. This is best achieved by using 6mm dynabolts for concrete or bricks and 6mm coach screws for timber. Don't use wall plugs and small screw as this will allow it to be pulled off the wall. There are 4 mounting holes but you may need to drill them bigger to allow for the 6mm bolts or screws. The bolts or screws should be around 50 to 60mm or longer if the brick or wood is soft.

Kidde also make a portable key safe which is idea to place around the neck of a knobset. If you fit it to an eye bolt, make sure it is very strong.
