Master LockCertified Key Safe Wall Mounted, Medium 105 x 132 x 43 mm, Outdoor, Mounting Kit, for Home Office Industries Vehicles

This key safe is not going to be used outdoors, it is ironically going to be used to keep my other safe keys safe.The key safe is weighty and when fixed to the wall it is immovable, it appears to be solid with the tumblers moving with no issues.Easy to recode - takes less than a minute.The safe is locked when you get it, when you remove the packaging the number is on the rear of the key safe - just cut the plastic ties an remove the solid plastic packaging and you will find it.Use the steel template that is inside the key safe to mark the holes on the wall - it took me less than 20 minutes to get it up and clear up after myself. All in all I would recommend this key safe. As for being waterproof - I have no idea and hopefully I wont find out if it is as its installed inside the property.

This key safe ticks all the boxes: the combination lock is precise (i.e. no 'loose feel' to aid pickers) and has a useful weatherproof cover that, when closed, makes it look innocent like an electrical junction box. The best thing, though, is how tough it is - you'll be surprised by just how heavy it is when the package arrives. The small box weighs at least a kilo, very strong metal and the locking nubs are about 5mm in diameter each side.Basically, it's tough enough for nobody to bother with - it'd be less trouble kicking down most front doors. Another useful factor is the ease of installation - a metal plate acts as a "guide" to mark out the drill holes (all you need is a masonry drill and probably some plastic screw sockets to seat them properly). The metal plate then goes inside the safe, adding to its strength.Finally, it's a good size inside. Big enough for long keys, keyrings, and chunky electronic car ones, even unfolded. So no problem storing spare sets of everything in there. Overall, an excellent little product at a killer price (I paid £23.99.)

Many key safes are functional but, if you really value security, aren't really up to it. I'm not saying the YouTube videos about easily bypassing the combination applies to all devices, but I have seen it done and that's enough to be a worry.The Master Lock is a massive step up in terms of build quality, and offers a lot more in the way of reassurance that it won't give up its secrets easily. It is satisfyingly weighty, and the combination keys feel very solid. Changing the combination is a simple affair, and the drop down cover adds a lot of weather protection.Because of the weight, I used lightning masonry bolts to fix it to the wall, and it is genuinely going nowhere. I'm more than happy with paying just a bit more for a lot of extra key safe.I have just one criticism, it's the lack of a key hook inside. You'd think putting one in would be a no brainer, but so few manufacturers actually do so. But that doesn't take away from just how good the Master Lock is.

Very strong and heavy item. The code numbers are easier to read than the illustration suggests, mine has white numbers on a black background, not grey on grey as it appears in the photo. Easy to change the preset code to one you will remember. Easy to fit but you will need a masonry drill to make the four holes you will need in your wall by your front door.However the whole thing is let down by the most appalling packaging. It took me ages to cut the item out of the plastic carrier, it's covered in stickers that don't peel off without leaving a residue for you to clean off, and as other reviewers have said - look carefully on the back for a small white label which shows the combination code the factory has preset. Easy to lose this amongst all the scrappy sticky stuff everywhere. Hence four stars instead of five.

I bought this for my partners elderly parents who were in need of a safe place to put their keys for use in an emergency access situation. The lock looks tough and robust and should stand a fair amount of abuse by an intruder. It looks Ok on the wall. As it would require a sledge hammer to remove and open the safe, we mounted it in an place which was in full view of the neighbours. Any unauthorised attempt to open the safe should be evident. It was easy to fit the safe to the brick wall using the internal steel back plate as a marking out template. I had some difficulty trying to get the template out as it was a tight fit in the safe casing. I used larger screws than those provided which I felt gave a more secure fixing to the wall. Other reviewers comments regarding how to unpack the safe were very helpful as it is difficult to work out how to remove the unit from the sturdy packaging. I can't comment on the problems experienced by other reviewers regarding the seizure of the dials as the safe has only been in use for a month. However the safe does seem to be well sealed from water ingress.
