Professional key safe installation for Devon elderly residents - secure lockbox for spare key so carers and family can access when you can't answer the door.
Access Without Answering
Getting to the door is hard. Carers wait outside. A key safe solves the problem. They enter the code, get the key, let themselves in. No rushing, no waiting.
💡 Pro tip: Choose a code that's memorable for you but not obvious to strangers. Avoid your birthday or house number - pick something personal but private.

🔧 DIY Tips
Installing a key safe yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Quality key safe (police approved)
- Drill and masonry bits
- Rawl plugs and screws
- Screwdriver
📐 Installation tips
- Choose hidden but accessible spot
- At comfortable reaching height
- Drill into solid wall
- Use all fixing holes
- Test code before closing
⚠️ Important points
- Buy quality - cheap safes aren't secure
- All fixings must be tight
- Test code multiple times
- Weather-protected location best
💡 Pro tip: Mount it slightly hidden but at a height that's easy to reach and see the buttons clearly. Eye level is usually good, hidden around a corner is better.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a key safe?
A lockbox fixed outside your door. Your key goes inside, protected by a combination code. Carers, family, or emergency services can access when needed.
Where does it go?
Usually by the front door, hidden but accessible. Sometimes on the side wall or in a porch. We find a discreet location that's practical.
Is it secure?
Quality key safes are very secure. We fit police-approved models with strong covers and anti-pick combinations. Much better than hiding a key under a mat.
Who gets the code?
Only people you choose - carers, family, emergency contacts. We help you set a memorable code and advise on sharing securely.
