Kidde AccessPoint 001170 KeySafe Original Slimline Push Button Combination Permanent Key Lock Box, 2-Key, Titanium Gray

I love this Kidde AccessPoint KeySafe! It works great, feels sturdy, and is very convenient to have when you need quick and easy access to a key. The combination lock is simple to use, and it gives me peace of mind knowing my key is stored safely. Definitely a handy item to have!

I have had several of these over the years and they all work perfectly. They are easy to mount and set up. I left a couple at my previous home for the new owners to use, and have just replaced one at my new place. I like that I can change the code easily for when I am on vacation so the pet sitter has her own code.

This is the second time I’ve owned a key safe system. The first one stayed at my previous residence. I was so impressed with it that I decided to upgrade to a five-key system in my new home. I’m grateful that the quality and consistency of the product have remained the same. I really love the construction of this model. It’s evident that they take great pride in their work. It’s easier to use and looks really nice. It also appears virtually indestructible. This makes my life much easier than having to pass around keys to friends and family who need access to my home. Plus, it’s a lot cheaper than a smart lock.

Here's why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. First off, this key box does it's job well. It will hold your keys and it does require a combination of numbers to pressed before it will open. It has a solid build that feels like it will last a long time and also feels like it would hold up to any kind of smashing or sawing for quite a while. I think it would take a LOT of work to break this thing open. Now the reason I didn't give it five stars is because it doesn't really have a ton of different combinations to choose from. You can set your code to be any length of numbers. So I could set it to open when I push "7", or I could set it to open when I've pushed 1,2,3,5,6,8, and 0. Or if you wanted to you could set it so you have to push all 10 numbers to open it (not really a good idea). So by now you're probably thinking dang that sounds like it adds up to a crap load of different combinations. Well it doesn't because of two things. You can't repeat a number, and it doesn't matter what order the numbers are pushed in. If my code is 8497, I could push 4987, 9784, 8974, etc. and the lock will open. So to save you the math, there are 1023 possible combinations (I won't bother explaining why that is in this review). Anyone who says differently is wrong, the product description even says "over 1000" which implies it is just a little over 1000. Anyway, the way to set the combination is simple. On the back of the plate there is one screw for each number. Twisting the screw 180 degrees sets that number to be part of the code. So if I want my code to contain the numbers 1257 (remember you can't repeat and the order doesn't matter) then I would simply turn all the screws behind those numbers. If you wan't something easier to remember you can go shorter, if you want the length that has the most possible combinations that would be a length of 5 numbers. Add up the list I made if you want, it's 1023 (see below. I did not count having zero numbers in the code). But don't be scared away when you see how few combinations are possible for some lengths. Remember a potential thief has no idea how long the code is, so he/she would still have 1023 possible combinations to guess from. No one is going to sit there and figure out all the possibilities and then take the time to try them all. And keep in mind that if someone really wants to break into your house and is prepared ahead of time to do so, this isn't going to stop them. This key box is to keep some loser from trying to find the key that everyone hides under a rock or hangs under the deck or whatever. Now you can put that key in a lock box. 4 stars for build quality and the fact that it does what is says it does. Length Number of Possible combinations 1 10 2 45 3 120 4 210 5 252 6 210 7 120 8 45 9 10 10 1

The entry door handle on the fire door between our house & garage is a Schlage F-series, and the way that lock is designed, it's awfully easy to walk into the garage, and inadvertently lock the door behind you. I didn't want to simply leave a spare key hanging by the garage door, because (i) it could easily get lost and (ii) it's not at all secure. So, I bought this Kidde keysafe to store the key. By mounting it on the wall, it won't get lost; and obviously it's much more secure than hanging the key by the door - though see below for more comments on the box's security. It's a very solid box. It's far heavier than it looks - really very sturdy. It's easy to set your desired code. You activate each number of your chosen code by twisting a little screw on the back of the "door". Then you test the code by pressing the relevant buttons, and sliding the "Open" key down -- the metal tab at the top of the door should slide down freely, allowing you to insert the door into the body of the box; you then release the "open" button, the tab slides up, and the keysafe is locked. As other reviewers have pointed out, after you have set your code, the ORDER in which you push the buttons doesn't matter; so if you activate buttons 4, 5, 6, & 7, you'd probably remember your code as "4567", but in fact the box also will open if you enter 7654, or 5647, etc.. The way it works also means that you cannot make a code that re-uses a number; for example, you cannot set a code of "4456" because each number -- in this case, 4 -- can be used only once. The box allows 1023 possible codes. The installation instructions tell the user to select a code comprising 5, 6 or 7 numbers (i.e., to activate 5, 6 or 7 buttons), but using 5 buttons gives you the most possible combinations. Detailed math is below....... If you activate 5 buttons, you can generate 252 different codes ( 10*9*8*7*6 divided by 5*4*3*2*1). If you activate 4 or 6 buttons, each has 210 possible codes. If you activate 3 or 7 buttons, each has 120 possible codes. If you activate 2 or 8 buttons, each has 45 possible codes. If you activate 1 or 9 buttons, each has 10 possible codes. If you activate all 10 buttons, there is only 1 possible code (since the order in which the buttons are pressed is not important) This adds up to a total of 1023 possible codes. Of course, as other reviewers have said, there is no way for a thief to know how many buttons you have used in your code, which means that (for example) if you use a 5-digit code, the thief's chance of opening the box each time he enters a combination isn't really 1 in 252 (which it would be if he KNEW that you'd chosen a 5-digit code). Nevertheless, purely in terms of the number of unique codes that can be used, this type of box does fall way short of the more traditional "rotating" 4-digit (4 wheel) combination locks, which allow 10,000 (10^4) codes, and even further short of electronic locks that allow you to (i) select the number of digits to use in your code; (ii) re-use each digit and (iii) respect the order in which the digits are entered. The garage itself is protected by one of these more sophisticated electronic pushbutton locks, which has lots of possible combinations so, for my usage of this keysafe, I was not too worried about the number of possible combinations.

Some reveiwers seem to think that since the numbers can be entered in any order this product is worthless. They also make a big deal about only being able to use each number once. Other reviews suggest "upgrading" the mounting hardware. The instructions list how many possible combinations there are based on how many numbers you use. I believe 5 numbers yields the most combinations which is over 200. First of all a thief would have to first guess how MANY numbers you used. How on earth are they going to know that? Then they would have to try every combination of that length of numbers. Keep in mind that EVERY time you enter a series of numbers you have to try the open button. As soon as you do that the lock resets and you have to start again. Every attempt a thief makes using more or less numbers than you chose is simply additional wasted time and exposure. If you really think a thief is going to sit there and keep trying while also trying to remember which combo of 200 possible number sets they've tried without using a large note pad or an excel spreadsheet you do not understand the criminal mind. Thieves fear exposure and observation and move on to easier targets. The smart ones won't even bother, they'll just kick in the most out of sight door or throw a brick through a window. The dumb ones will do the same after wasting time in a futile attempt to open this box. The end result is the same. If a thief wants to get into your house, they will get in without wasting time trying to get your precious key. Next: Mounting hardware. The screws that come with this box are perfectly adequate in length, size and strength. Using the screws provided will yield a box that requires a sledge hammer, crowbar or reciprocating saw to remove. All of those methods make a hell of a lot of noise and we all know thieves like to draw a lot of attention to themselves right? Ah, no. But then, guess what? Even if they do get the box off they still have to open the damm thing! I can tell you that is going to require AT LEAST a hack saw and a nice bench vise. That said, I could open this box in about 7 seconds with a cordless angle grinder. When is the last time you saw suspicious characters walking around with angle grinders? I will say this. You must drill pilot holes in wood for the provided screws or you'll wind up stripping the heads when your driver bit "cams-out". Or, yes, you could use Torx screws to eliminate cam-out. The fact remains, the strength of the fasteners is a non-issue. If you still want this box but you're concerned about any of these issues just mount the box out of sight, and preferably somewhere where tools can't get any leverage or purchase on it. Thats' what I did. It's not readily visible and only my family members know where it is. Otherwise this box is not for you. Buy one of those "hide-a key" rocks and put it in the garden. The reason I didn't go that route is we have a yard service and it would be highly probable that someone would eventually flip that fake rock over. Also, we have guests we let come over when we're not in town. Try telling them which rock to look under?Nope. Just get this box, mount it out of sight and only disseminate the number to trusted parties. So, this box is perfectly adequate for me. Built like a tank, easy to use. The only time I would worry about this box if if I found it missing completely because that would mean the thief knocked it off, took it and now has time and access to tools to cut it open. At that point it would be time to re-key my locks.

These are great to have when you forget your house key, for school kids so they don't need to carry a key to school or for someone watching your house and pets. We have one at our home and I recently bought another one for my son's home. It's easy enough to change the code(s), just remember to tell the rest of your family! Seriously, this is fool-proof and a lot better then $200 for a locksmith. We place ours on the door jam on the opposite side of the handle, towards the top. You can place this anywhere, higher up or lower depending on the height of your family members. We have another one on the side of our deck (exposed to some weather) for our one shop, so when we have to go there there during off hours and don't have that set of keys. This way we know it's there but it's not visible from the front of the building. When we used to rent, our landlady loved these boxes and installed them on all of her buildings. She set them to her personal code so only she could access it. She never let workers in the apartments unless she was there. These are worth the cost and so easy to install.

The lock on this safe is much much better and more formidable than other reviewers have stated. To say the lock on this safe has "only" 1024 possible combinations greatly understates the difficulty in unlocking it if you don't know the combination. Because it offers no visual clues as to what previous combinations you have tried, this lock is much much more difficult than a 3 wheel combination lock that has 999 combinations. Instead of dealing with just 3 wheels, you are dealing with 10 buttons. And you cannot tell by visual inspection which buttons have already been depressed. It's the absence of visual clues that makes this lock really difficult to crack. Further, I will bet that this lock is a "black box" to nearly all people apart from perhaps real estate agents. They don't know what it is. Is it an electronic device that you have to enter a code to enter the door without triggering an alarm ? Is it a lock where you have to enter numbers in sequential order ? How many numbers should you enter ? Unless you know how this lock actually works, this is a very difficult beastie to deal with. If you happen to know each button is binary, and that number sequence is irrelevant, you still have to cope with the lack of visual cues. I have a 3 wheel padlock, each wheel numbered 0 through 9. It is easy to crack this 3 wheeler with absolute certainty by just starting with 000 and going 1 by 1 up to 999. On a 3 wheel lock you are hugely aided by actually seeing each number so you can execute a perfect sequence. But with this 10 button baby, it is very difficult to keep track of what combinations you have entered, because when you depress a key, the key is not observably depressed. So that running through all combinations 0000000000 to 1111111111 will pose quite a headache just keeping track of what you have done before. I've located it on my front door, a front door that is visible to neighbors, pedestrians and passing vehicles, so any stranger standing there fiddling with the door is going to feel kind of conspicuous. Maybe a really good card counter - the kind that gets banned from casinos - could remember all the past combinations tried. But anyone with this kind of brain or skill is surely not going to be doing burglaries on a middle income suburban house. Just be sure to devise a combination you will remember, or can find easily. Maybe e-mail yourself some hints on what it is... And/or in your wallet carry a card with the combination written on it.. And... maybe... base the combination on the first 5 unique numbers on your most often used credit card.

Schnelle Lieferung, einfache Montage. Kurz um alles Perfekt gelaufen :)

très solide mais malheureusmenet renvoyé car le couvercle n'est pas solidaire du caisson, donc pas pratique du tout

Easy to set up does the job very sturdy and good quality

Great for air BnB

Good, solid box and feels like it wouldn't be easy to tamper with it. Can be tricky to remove and replace the front cover so could be hard for children or older people to use.
