4.0 out of 5 stars A lot beefier than I thought it would be, January 30, 2007

By	M and G (Dover, NH) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Thieves can knock over banks so recognize that this unit simply serves to delay and frustrate... ideally you should couple this with other home security measures.

Pro:
-Heavy duty... this thing has some heft to it
-Easy to install, 4 screws/hardware included
-Holds a lot of keys, but I think 30 would be a little crowded especially if you put a ring of keys in here (but it's doable to hang 30 keys in here-just note the limitation on size)
-Has a place for key on the back of the door, plus you can set some keys (or other things) inside on the bottom
-Code can be more than 4 digits
-I think this is the same unit featured on the TV show "It Takes a Thief"
-Code was extremely fast and easy to set (and would be fast and easy to change)

Con:
-Color leaves a lot to be desired... a lot darker than pictured too
-Can use each number (0-9) only once in the combo
-It was a little difficult to see the lock codes as they were being set, so be sure to have good light and your glasses
-If you have a lot of junk on your keychain, you'll have problems fitting your keys into this box

Bottom Line: Decent for smash and grab robberies, might as well make it harder. Recommended for use with other home security products such as an alarm, charlie bar, etc.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Product with same flaws of the Single Key version, February 11, 2007

By	Angela Lee (Madison, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We love the fact that you can lock up all your keys in this box. It makes us feel more secure. Is very nice to keep extra sets of keys in and to keep your keys in when you are not home.

I didn't have too much to complain about the color. We just have it in our garage so it is no big deal. If you were going to have it in the house out in the open, then the color would probably be annoying.

Installation of the entire system ("2-key" key box AND this device) took about 20 minutes total. It wouldn't have taken that long if we hadn't poked a hole in the drywall where we were going to put one of the screws :P

Setting the combination was much easier that I would have thought. The hardest part was figuring a combination that was secure, but easy to remember. While setting the combination was easy, the combination is also the source of my only complaint.

My main complaint with this is the same as with the GE AccessPoint 001413 Slimline Pushbutton 2-Key KeySafe. The sequence of numbers for the combination doesn't matter. "1 - 2 - 3 - 4" could also be "4 - 3 - 2 - 1", etc. I didn't want to have to pay a lot for this (and really couldn't find one that had this feature) so this will work out fine.

I would definately recommend for about anybody to get this device. It is very handy and much better than laying the keys on the dresser, table, or where ever you can find a spot. An added bonus is that you always know where those keys are and don't have to tear the house down looking for them when you need to get out the door!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Workplaces., April 25, 2007

By	Hopefully Helpful "Hopefully Helpful" (St. Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

I bought this key safe for my workplace and find it is great to use for that. I don't need to keep an extra key just to open a box to get to the other keys! I spent an entire weekend looking for a keyless entry key safe for a reasonable price and this was the only one I found. There were others similar, but more expensive and I believe they used the same safe and named it something different to sell on their own sites. The least expensive I found for this model was here on Amazon (in March 2007). Save yourself the trouble, just get this if you're looking for a keyless pushbutton key box.

This is a great key box for many reasons:
1. No key is needed, just punch in a code on the push button combination on the front.
2. It holds 30 keys (although that many is a little crowded) and has #d key rings to attach to the keys.
3. It holds about 10 keys on the inside of the door itself.
4. It is a sturdy metal box, not a thin metal one like at retail places like office max / depot, etc. and comes with mounting hardware.
5. I use it at my workplace where only a few people can have access to certain keys. Those keys go in this box and I didn't have to worry about handing out keys. If someone leaves, I can change the combo easily.
6. The combo was easy to set and is easy to change, just a couple of minutes.

I noticed some reviews mentioning home use and I agree that if someone really wanted to, they could break into this, after all, they could just pull it off they wall and do what they needed to it. But I think most of us realize a $60 lock box isn't the last line of defense, or should be. It's best used in a trusted area to keep people from having the opportunity to take the keys that aren't locked up in the first place.
