Always know exactly where your keys are.

Secure, Reliable Key Storage
Trustworthy and secure, the 5400D offers a convenient locking solution that holds up to five house or car keys. Great for people on the go, the 5400D means you'll always know exactly where your keys are. And for added peace of mind, this key safe will withstand the tools a thief might use to attempt entry.

The 5400D is a great key safe for people selling their homes, and it's also a smart choice for families with children who may need to enter the house when an adult isn't present.

Weather-Resistant Key Safe Hangs Anywhere
With a compact, lightweight design and portable, over-the-knob mount, the 5400D can be hung exactly where you need it--on a door, fence, or post. The compartment door pivots smoothly and remains attached to the lock body. For further convenience, an easy-grip, dome-shaped dial with contemporary metallic finish features easy-to-use combination dials.

Because the 5400D is most commonly hung out of doors, it's designed to withstand the elements. Specifically, a shutter door protects the combination dials from weather, dirt, and grime, so the result is rust-free performance and long life.

Built to last, the 5400D boasts durable die-cast zinc construction with vinyl-covered shackles to prevent scratching. What's more, its reinforced, molded body is built to last and helps to withstand hammering and sawing.

The Master Lock 5400D Key Safe is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Personalized Four-Digit Combination for Optimum Security
With the 5400D, it's easy to set your own four-digit combination. Just enter your chosen code for complete control over access to your keys. And because it offers up to 10,000 combination possibilities, this system is more secure than key locks, and it gives you the option of resetting the combination whenever you wish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Monstrous strength, July 30, 2008

This review is from: Master Lock 5400D Select Access Key Storage Box with Set-Your-Own Combination Lock, 1-Pack (Tools & Home Improvement)

The masterlock select access storage box is a great product. I bought one for a slightly unusual purpose, in that I took it camping. For four weeks, this box was locked onto the frame of my station wagon, right next to the exhaust pipe. During that entire time, I used it several times without any problem. For the last two weeks, I found myself making hour-long treks over dirt roads, and across river beds every other day in a vehicle that was hardly designed for the task.

When I returned to civilization, I fully expected to find the box thoroughly abused. I expected the rubber case to have been melted by the exhaust pipe. I expected mud to have gummed up the combination locks. I even imagined there might be a few dents or scratches on it from the road. None of this was the case.

While my use of the box has revealed to me that it is not water tight, and the glue used to hold the rubber casing on may be a little weakened by heat or water, the worst damage I found on it were a few small scratches on the rubber casing around the lock part, where it had been attached to the frame of my car.

Recently, I managed to get a key stuck in the device somehow. Perhaps it no longer worked right because I removed the rubber casing. Maybe the long car key I put in jammed the locking mechanism somehow, or maybe I managed to accidentally reset the combination while it was open. I suspect that I reset the combination accidentally. My one complaint with this device is how easy it is to do this. Users can easily fix this by gluing or taping the reset switch in place once you've chosen a good combination.

Since I needed the key, I decided I would have to break open the device. Those of you concerned with the security of this product will be pleased to learn how hard it was to do.

As I had gotten the rubber casing off, I already knew that there were six rivets in the back. I imagined that by drilling through these, I would be able to get the lock apart. Using a bench vice, and a power drill with a metal drill bit, it took me five minutes of serious drilling to get through these rivets. When I was done drilling, nothing happened, because the rivets were set in such a way that the drill holes had gone in crooked. I ended up pounding away at the thing with a ball-pene hammer and a cold chisel for another half hour to break the rivets on the sides all the way through. This allowed me to rip off the sides of the front panel. Once that was done, I had to beat in the back of the lock so that I could get the chisel into the top, and force the locking mechanism open. The hinge was too strong for me to break at all. Once I got it out, my key was slightly twisted. I'm not sure it will still work.

All told, it took me fifty five minutes,to break into the master lock select access storage box. Fifty five minutes, using all the tools I could think of. At a private home, with it latched to a doorknob, or in an inconvenient place, it probably would have taken much longer. I don't think there are many places where the police won't get around to a criminal before they get at your keys in one of these things. I also don't think a criminal who can get at the keys any faster would be able to use them once he got them out.

1.0 out of 5 stars I have had TWO of these fail on me!!!!!!, April 24, 2009

We invest in real estate and use lock boxes all of the time. This looked like a good buy. It even worked real well for a while.

Then one day it just would not open for my property manager (PM). She tried like crazy to get it open, then it finally popped open. After that it would open for ANY combination. One down...

Now I'm trying to sell my house so I put another one of these on my own house. I used this box every day to gain access to my house as it was MY key in the box. Well this one died too. I had a termite inspector coming to the house that day and he was not able to get in either. I had to climb through a window to gain entry to my house. I then removed the door knob so I could take this thing to my work bench where I was able to break into it.

That is another bad point about this lock. I hit it no more than 20 times hard with a normal hammer on the hinge at the bottom and it just opened right up.

So all around this thing is just a hunk of junk. I would avoid it.

It's definitely nice to have when it works. I won't repeat the advantages of this lockbox in my review since they are listed elsewhere. When one got used relying on it and it doesn't work all of a sudden, then the consequences can be really bad. This is what happened to me. I came home the other day and tried to get to my key. Well, the lockbox wouldn't open. I know my combination is correct, no doubt. It's easy to remember and I'm good with numbers. But the lockbox refused to open. Just picture yourself by your frontdoor trying to open your own door. Unfortunately there is no after-sale service in this case for this item. I could return it but why would I? My key is still inside and the thing costs $20. Just not worth it. Thanks a lot to the manufacturer for all the trouble they caused me.
