### Never Hide Keys Under Plant Pots Again
Spare key under the doormat? In the plant pot? On top of the door frame? Everyone knows to look there. A properly fitted key safe is **actually secure** and means the right people can get in when they need to.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Position your key safe where it's accessible but not obvious. You want your carer to find it easily, but not advertise to the whole street that there's a key box on your wall.

### Why Professional Fitting Matters
A key safe is only as secure as the wall it's bolted to.
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Common Problems | |--------------|-------------------| | Drilled into solid brick with deep fixings | Stuck to wall with "no-drill" adhesive | | Bolts go through the whole safe body | Screwed to wooden door frame (easily pried off) | | Weather-sealed edges | Gaps let rain in, mechanism rusts | | Code tested and written down safely | Code forgotten immediately |

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple users?** Choose a code that's memorable but not obvious - not 1234 or your house number. You'll be telling carers, cleaners, family members, so it needs to stick in people's heads. **Rental property?** Check your lease - most landlords are fine with key safes as long as the holes are filled when you leave. Small price for peace of mind. **Old house with thick walls?** Devon stone cottages are perfect for key safes. The harder the wall, the more secure the fitting. I've got long masonry bits for the really thick ones.
Frequently Asked Questions about Key safe fitting in Teignmouth
What is a key safe and why would I need one?
It's a secure lockbox bolted to your outside wall that holds spare keys. Really useful if you have carers visiting, cleaners, dog walkers, or just want a secure spare key in case you lock yourself out. Better than hiding keys under plant pots!
Can you fit it to my older Teignmouth house with thick walls?
Yes - that's actually the ideal place. Solid brick or stone gives the strongest fixing. I'll use proper masonry fixings that go deep into the wall. Much more secure than fitting to modern cavity walls (though I can do those too with the right fixings).
Do I need to buy the key safe myself?
Either way works. If you've already got one, brilliant. If not, I can advise on which model suits your needs and pick one up from the merchant. Budget ones are about £20-30, better quality ones with weather seals are £40-60.
How long does fitting a key safe take?
Usually 30-45 minutes. Includes drilling the wall, fitting the safe securely, setting your chosen code, and testing it works properly. Bit longer if your wall is particularly hard (some Devon stone is like concrete).
Where's the best place to put it?
Near your front door but not immediately obvious - you don't want to advertise it. Out of direct rain if possible. High enough that it's not at eye level to passers-by, but accessible for whoever needs to use it. I'll advise when I see your setup.
