Key safes are secure, wall mounted lockable boxes designed to store spare keys outside a property. Ideal for landlords, property managers, care workers, and maintenance teams, they provide a reliable solution for controlled key access without the need for duplicated keys or round the clock attendance.
Whether you’re managing access for emergency services, short term lets, or ongoing building maintenance, key safes offer a practical and secure way to share access codes instead of cutting multiple keys.
Key Safes for Trade Professionals
At Duffells, we stock a wide selection of key safes trusted by trade professionals across the UK. Our key safes are robust, weather resistant, and designed to withstand forced entry, making them suitable for both residential and commercial applications.
From mechanical push button models to high capacity key cabinets with code locks, we have carefully selected reliable solutions for tradespeople working in access management, social housing, facilities maintenance, and security installation.
Push Button Key Safes
Push button key safes are a popular and reliable choice for trade professionals. These mechanical key safes feature a built in keypad with individual buttons that unlock the safe when the correct code is entered. No power, batteries or electronics are needed.
Push button key safes are ideal for regular access situations such as rental handovers, supported living, facilities management and holiday lets. The entry code can be changed easily, helping you maintain secure access control across multiple users.
Combination Key Safes
Combination key safes function similarly to push-button models but may use a rotary dial or mechanical tumbler instead. Both offer reliable external key storage and allow secure access to keys without the need to distribute physical copies.
Combination key safes are often installed outside properties, garages or gates and provide dependable access for trades, contractors and key holders. They’re compact, robust and easy to install in just minutes.
Outdoor Key Safes with Weather Protection
All key safes at Duffells are suitable for external use, with designs that resist rain, frost and corrosion. Many include protective weather flaps, waterproof seals and rust resistant finishes for long term reliability in the UK climate.
Whether you need a discreet domestic key safe or a heavy duty unit for commercial applications, our outdoor key safes offer the durability and protection you need.
Key Safes are Mechanical – No Power Required
Our mechanical key safes require no electricity or batteries, making them maintenance free and simple to use. They’re perfect for sites without power, vacant properties, or situations where reliability is essential.
All you need is a solid wall, the included fixings and a secure location. Installation takes minutes and access can be shared instantly by providing the code.
Installation Advice and Best Practice
For best results, install your key safe onto a solid brick or timber surface using the fixings provided. Place it in a discreet but accessible location such as behind a drainpipe or near the meter box.
We recommend changing the access code regularly and ensuring it is only shared with authorised users. All our secure key safes come with clear fitting instructions and are designed for fast and easy installation by trade professionals.
Key Safes from Trusted Brands
We supply key safes from trusted names in the security industry, including Master Lock, Supra, TSS, Burton Safes and Yale. These brands are known for producing robust and secure key safes that trade professionals rely on daily.
