> 💡 **Pro tip:** Mount your key cabinet by the door you use most often - saves backtracking through the house when you're rushing out.

Frequently Asked Questions about Key cabinet fitting in Ottery St Mary
Why have a key cabinet instead of just hooks?
Key cabinets keep everything tidier and more secure - keys are behind a door (sometimes lockable) rather than on display. Useful if you've got loads of keys (rental properties, work keys, spare sets) that need organizing. Plus they look neater than a row of hooks.
Where's the best place to mount a key cabinet?
Somewhere by your main exit - hallway near the front door is most common. Height-wise, eye level or just below works well so you can see inside easily. Needs to be accessible but not somewhere you'll bang into it constantly.
Can you mount it on my plasterboard wall?
Yes, but I'll use proper plasterboard fixings if there's no stud behind. For heavier cabinets or if you're loading it with lots of keys, better to find a stud or mount to solid wall. I'll assess what's best for your specific cabinet.
Do I need to buy the cabinet first?
Either way works. If you've got one already, I'll fit it. If not, I can advise on good sizes - small ones hold 10-20 keys, larger ones up to 50+. Depends how many sets you need to store.
How long does it take to fit?
Usually 20-30 minutes. Mark position, check it's level, drill and mount. Quick job. If you want me to organize and label all your keys while I'm there, that adds time but makes life much easier!
