Recommendation for key safe required. This is the type to be fitted
outside of a front door and holds the front door key.

This is for an elderly relative with failing sight (in one eye) so
ideally needs large easy to read numbers and a mechanism that easy to
use. It will also be used by carers visiting the property.

If their sight is OK in one eye, it will make no difference.

My eyesight is OK and I sometimes have trouble with the numbers stamped
into the wheels. It even worse when using a torch - shiny chromed wheels
and shiny embossed numbers reflecting back the light.

From experience with this relative, some bad habits have also to be
addressed. Because there is a key safe at times no attempt is made to take
a door key out with them. As the numbers are difficult to see and the
dials are small often only the last digit is changed so its easier to
open. (Carers always randomise all 4 numbers on the dials).

Fark, that one needs to be microchipped and have the
equivalent of the microchip cat flap for the front door.
