Key Boxes and Key Guards
Key boxes and Key Guards are used to store emergency keys, keeping them safe while ensuring they remain easily accessible when needed. These units provide a reliable and cost-effective solution to prevent unauthorised access to critical keys, offering peace of mind in a variety of settings, such as commercial buildings, schools, and healthcare facilities. The keys are safely enclosed behind a breakable glass or plastic window, designed to be easily shattered in an emergency. This allows for quick and immediate access, ensuring that exit doors or other secured areas can be promptly unlocked in critical situations. Available in circular and rectangular designs, with replacement parts also available if needed.

Where is the best place to put a key box?
Where is the best place to put a key box?
The best place to place a key box is in a secure, discreet, yet accessible location. Here are a few options to consider for placement:
- Out of Plain Sight: Place the key box in an area which isn’t immediately visible from either an entryway or street, this will minimise the risk of unwanted attention from potential intruders.
- Near the Door: Locate the key box near the main entry point (such as the front or back door) for easy access, but not directly on the door itself. A side wall or behind a plant for example would offer both convenience and discretion.
- At a Convenient Height: Ensure the box is mounted at a comfortable height, chest level is recommended; to allow for ease in reach and operating the locking mechanism.
- In a Weather-Protected Spot: If the key box is installed in an outside, place it in a sheltered area to protect it from harsh weather conditions. An awning or covered porch is an ideal area to keep in dry and allow it to keep functioning properly.
- Sturdy Surface: Ensure the key box is installed on a solid, secure surface such as brick or wood to prevent any tampering or forced removal.
By considering these factors, you will ensure the key box is both secure and convenient for authorised users.
