Externally a very solid key safe with good storage space.
The instructions for setting the code are poor. You are provided with a piece of cardboard for turning the dials to set the code. This bends and comes apart after a couple of uses and the plastic dials are so weak that they are easily damaged if you try to use anything else to turn them. I purchased this key safe for a holiday cottage and want to regularly change the code to prevent large numbers of people having access to the keys. Considering this is meant to be the highest security key safe on the market internally it is of very poor quality and is not robust enough to change the code on a frequent basis. It is now jammed in the open position and I have bought a cheaper but far more robust safe to replace it. An expensive mistake and I would not recommend the product.

Easy to use and strong. Less secure than if the four digits had to be entered in a certain order.

Very sturdy construction. Even the carers said it was the best one they had seen on their rounds in looking after the elderly and infirm.Capacity of key chamber is more than adequate for the two front door keys. A failing with some other makes.
Since most doors and windows today are white uvpc, I did think that a white rubber cover option for the safe would be good. It would blend in better with adjacent fittings

The lock was fairly straight forward to fit, but it would help to know in advance th size of drill needed for the fixing holes. Once fitted it iss easy and secure to use.

I bought the GE C500 KeySafe, which arrived promptly. It is a well made, solid product and works well. I would have been even happier if there had been an option of a white cover, rather than black, but some spray paint soon sorted that out.
I also ordered the 'professional' installation service, but this didn't go so well: the engineer didn't live up to his billing. To the company's credit, however, I was offered a full apology and a reinstallation.
I would happily buy from Safe again.

This is a really good quality product. I had difficulty working out how to set it up but the customer service person I spoke to was so clear and precise, I had it set up in no time.
It's really easy to use and easy to change the number.
I would definitely recommend this product.

Excellent product, the quality of the materials used in the product are very strong and durable, ensuring longevity and safety. It was easy to install and easy to use. I was kept up to date with delivery dates. Highly recommend the company and the product, it certainly was value for money.

This is a very robust key box with the added advantage that it is quite widely used by older people, so visiting carers are familiar with how to operate it. The reset button and open catch are not the easiest to use - would recommend a re-design of these. Also the key hook is set a bit low inside the box making it harder to hang five lever mortice keys, which have to go in at an angle (it's fine for the shorter cylinder lock keys). Strong, well made, and the weather cover is a really helpful feature. This was the best option I could find when researching it online. It also seems very secure, but the security is only as good as your wall fixings, so it is important to ensure a close fit to the wall with strong screws and plugs.
