These are available in three different sizes, and can even be purchased in Velcro form for locations without metal to attach to.
KEY CABINETS
For more keys, or to secure keys in a visible location, a hard mounted key lock box can be a solution. These come with the ability to store several keys on numbered or documented tags in an ordered fashion. The keys can be easily accessible and much simpler to keep track of than a locking box without ability to hang the keys. Several manufacturer’s make these boxes with the ability to store tens to hundreds of keys.
ON THE DOOR KEY STORAGE…
Lastly, it is good to mention hanging key boxes. These have been on the market for a long time and are extremely popular for home owners, rental agencies, vacation property management, or renters. The concept of these is simple, the box hangs from the door knob and by entering a code, the box will open, and release the key to the operator. The benefits are great for convenience and not being stranded outside the home. Most boxes are surprisingly secure and take a considerable amount of effort to break into.
