key safe recommendation
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. Currently fitted is this type https://www.screwfix.com/p/master-lo...key-safe/77908 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 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. -- mailto : news {at} admac {dot} myzen {dot} co {dot} uk |
