MASTER LOCK Extra Large Key Safe Police Approved Wall Mounted, XL 103 x 173 x 75mm, Outdoor, for Home Office Industries Vehicles

Good, sturdy key safe. Easy to fit. Number dials are a decent size and easy to change the code.

It's a nice sturdy keysafe, however it took me 4 X the amount of time and a broken thumb mail to get the large label off of the front cover than to actually fit the keysafe! In the end I had to go and get solvent (methylated spirits) as soap and water wouldn't shift it. Absolutely ludicrous!

This is a robust, strong and well-made lock. I have bought two of these and they work a treat.

Feels very solid , well made. Got for occasional use and has been fine, can't foresee any issue with more regular use.Take reasonable care drilling 4 hols in the wall and it screws on very solidly. I have mine out of direct rain, but the exterior cover would do a good job at deflecting it. Easy to change combination. In terms of security : I think pretty hard to get off the wall, and then you'd still have to open it ; essentially it would be quicker and quieter to just break directly into the building. But I still only put a key in when I plan to use it ( I have another plan for unplanned scenarios ). One minor niggle : inside there are no hooks to hang things - so when the door open downwards to contents can fall out on the floor. Ok if it's not directly above a flower bed I guess. So minus 1 star for that; too harsh ?.

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.

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.)

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.

Setting the code required a phone call and I am glad I did as when I came to change the code sometime later as is sensible for security, I made one slip up in the process, the previous code does not work and I am told there is no way to factory re-set the box. I am told I simply have to buy another! The process to set the code is too intricate, requires a very small screwdriver and the marked arrows you need to see on each number are very unclear - one slip up if you have set it with an arrow pointing the wrong way which is very easy to do, and the box is useless. Seriously shocked there is no re-set as these are not cheap.
