You'd have a localised system for that,

Not possible to organise that in every place
a terrorist or armed holdup can happen.

you take it with you,

Not viable when some terrorist is stabling people
and you need to shoot them dead as quickly as
possible to minimise the number they kill.

you won't need it for that situation, terrosts don;t go
up to polce marksman and take their gun off them.

They do actually, particularly in the countrys that have
enough of a clue to make it hard to get hold of a gun.

Can you show a situation where a terrosist has gone up to a cop
and taken their gun from them and started shooting people.


Yep, and plenty of others where someone has grabbed a cop's
gun when they have been pulled over for something as basic
as a traffic violation when the perp knows that they will be
arrested for an outstanding arrest warrant when the cop
works out who they are or finds illegal drugs in the car
or discovers its a stolen vehicle etc.


And then they steal the cops gun do they....


Yep.

please paste link to these incedents.


Not possible. They are mostly on those reality TV doco series.

Precisely the situation where you dont want the perp
to be able to fire the gun,.

Plenty of them in the USA, strange considering guns are legal,

Agreed but how would you do such a thing that is the point and that is what

be caught with a finger nail to bring it forward.

I have another type fitted somewhere on my property with small push
buttons that is slightly better but once open it is very fiddly to close
again having to re-input the code, but now with the buttons on the
hinged section section that is free. OK maybe for the occasional use but
probably not suitable for day to day use where carers may be different
people each day, and again not suitable for someone with failing sight


Why can't she continue to have her own key?
Only the carers need to be using the key safe.

Sometimes one can only judge the ease of working of some of these
equipments trying to use them on a regular basis hence a call for
recommendations.


I went for this one when I was doing this stuff.

It is OK and the legend never wears off the buttons but it is still a
bit fiddly although unobtrusive and looks more like an external mains
socket than a key safe. Open and closing both require the code.

The problem with that one from sentinel is the buttons are too small. I've had a few different ones and for us, the only one that is worth getting are the police approved ones e.g. the supra c500 or the Burton Keyguard. Anything else and you're taking a risk.

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.


I have yet to see one that meets those requirements. Most are small and
fiddly trying not to attract too much attention to what they are.

Currently fitted is this type

and IMO is completely crap. The numbers on the combination are small and
with fairly limited use are already silver on a silver background and
even I have difficulty in seeing them. The opening lever requires thin
fingers and not only has it to be pushed down but to open the box has to
be caught with a finger nail to bring it forward.

I have another type fitted somewhere on my property with small push
buttons that is slightly better but once open it is very fiddly to close
again having to re-input the code, but now with the buttons on the
hinged section section that is free. OK maybe for the occasional use but
probably not suitable for day to day use where carers may be different
people each day, and again not suitable for someone with failing sight


Why can't she continue to have her own key?
Only the carers need to be using the key safe.

Sometimes one can only judge the ease of working of some of these
equipments trying to use them on a regular basis hence a call for
recommendations.


I went for this one when I was doing this stuff.

It is OK and the legend never wears off the buttons but it is still a
bit fiddly although unobtrusive and looks more like an external mains
socket than a key safe. Open and closing both require the code.

The problem with that one from sentinel is the buttons are too small. I've had a few different ones and for us, the only one that is worth getting are the police approved ones e.g. the supra c500 or the Burton Keyguard. Anything else and you're taking a risk.
