Key safe

Anyone use one of the little key safes (masterlock etc) to store thie cabinet keys? Which model do you use that will hold typical size keys (mine are Lokaway)?

Have already checked with my FEO at last renewal that they're ok with this.

Cheers
 
They aren’t very secure, the ones I have seen have just been thin cast metal. Might be ok if well hidden but if a thief discovered it they would be into it in seconds. Also, they aren’t very big.
 
Never thought of this , good idea if not requiring separate ammo safe, I have a large very strong key safe on the out side of the house, since while stalking in Dorset got a call to say next door's cat was sat on my dinning table and I was not due to come home for several days. It also means if required the emergency services can let themselves in with no damage or delay.
 
I have a police approved one,holds my cabinet ×3, keys plus my ammo box keys
This was suggested to me by my FEO at my last renewal as I say suggested not demanded by my FEO as since I lost my wife
and now living on my own they can get access to my guns without involving locksmiths etc. Should anything happen to me , which is not unlikely at my age.
Combination of key safe and an address where they can get a door key if the worst should happen
Seemed like a good idea to me.
 
I’ve considered one of the high security police approved type

Be careful. I installed one and on a routine visit to grill my youngest about his FAC application I showed the FEO my latest cabinet addition since his original visit (he was ok with that) and then I asked him what he thought about the Key Safe which I'd installed hidden inside a cupboard. He hated them and quote, "as soon as someone sees one of those they know it holds a key that will be useful to them and they will sledge hammer it off the wall and then smash it to get the key". Waste of £50 then for Avon & Somerset! Got mine after I saw it being advertised in the BASC magazine...........:coat:

Won’t go into my key security arrangements but I suspect Wilts would be ok.

I have CCTV and a monitored alarm anyway so by the time they were anywhere near anything if interest the police would be informed that there were burglars in a house that contained guns and ammunition.

Hide the key safe with the key in?

As do I, but I've little confidence in likely response times nowadays I'm afraid. At the FEO's direction I now conceal the various keys in several locations. God help the wife if I go first..................
 
I use a couple of the air bnb style keysafes secured to solid material hidden in house, ammo safe in one and guns safe in other. Works fine, stores a set of safe keys no bother.
 
My company, which stores your second set of key's uses THESE When a client chooses our Full Wishes Pack but doesn't won't us to hold their keys
