Recently had one of those Careline things installed for an elderly
relative so she can get help if she has a fall by pressing a button
on a pendant. One of the options given was to install a key safe
outside the house so that staff can gain access in an emergency.

This seems eminently sensible.

They fit it at the rear of the house

I hope not!
They aren't that difficult to open by going through the combination
and fitting it at the rear out if sight gives the crook as much time
as he needs.

Dennis, if you use 4 digits there are 10,000 possible combinations. The GE
keysafes can use up to 6 digits. It would take days to go through them.


The GE Slimline KeySafe can use up to 7 digits, giving 10 million
possible combinations. You could spend your whole retirement trying
to find the combination. ;-)
