I believe you can never be too careful or too cautious when it comes to home security. In fact as you are reading this I’m having a fence put up around our large front garden. My house is on a footpath, so last year I had garden gates erected to deter people from walking across my lawn with prams and dogs. But the bush fence that was there hasn’t stopped a drunk from falling asleep on it then rolling into my garden. Also my two-year old running through it and escaping. So I’m having a proper wood fence installed. It will make me feel much safer. Plus if you are forgetful like me having a Police Accredited KeySafe installed is perfect for storing keys if they get lost.
I was sent the C500 Police Accredited KeySafe to try out and see what I thought. Initial thoughts were wow its heavy! Even the poor postman commented on the weighty package as it was handed to me. Now to me if something is that heavy, it means it’s built to last and it would be very hard to break into.
Product Description
The Supra C500 coded Key Safe is the original Police accredited key safe that can boast the title ‘As secure as your front door’. It has been designed following extensive consultation with users and has a large enough storage capacity for up to 6 keys. Rust and water-resistant. Constructed from Zinc alloy making it attack resistant.
What’s included
- The Supra C500 Police Accredited KeySafe
- Black weather cover
- 4 x masonry bolts – Torx T30 head (no rawl plugs required)
- Detailed instruction sheet with fitting and drilling guide
What I thought
The KeySafe is an ideal solution for key access to homes of your loved ones. If your elderly relative has a carer, this KeySafe can give you a peace of mind for home security. No more leaving keys under the doormat or plant pot. A key safe can be very beneficial in adult safeguarding situations, as well use for estate agents, and other family members. To avoid having lots of keys cut.
To maintain the Police Accreditation it must be fixed into brick or dense concrete. Not breeze blocks or mortar. This does limit some households including mine. I live in a new build so unfortunately I cannot install it onto my house as it’s made with breeze blocks. There is a clever mounting template on the instruction sheet to get the spacing exact for the bolts.
It’s large enough to store between 1-6 keys depending on key type. But the KeySafe isn’t overly large that it would stick out like a sore thumb on your wall.
The keycode is really easy to set up. There are detailed instructions included and it takes you through each step carefully. I like the thought that there are over 4000 combinations so you can change your code as often as you wish to help keep it secure.
To access your keys, there is only 4 simple steps, so you don’t have to be fumbling out in the rain. In fact I’d say it’s just as fast if not faster to get your keys out of this KeySafe than hunting around at the bottom of your handbag.

This would be very handy for our lower ground floor which we rent out as rehearsal space. Would save me having to let people in the front door.
This is something I have thought of getting for my Mums house. Its a lot easier than having to make sure carers etc all have keys x
This would be brilliant for me because I am disabled and if I have a problem then a member of my family will be able to get into my home
Great lock I wouldn’t mind this for house
this would be handy as my son often forgets his key
This would be fabulous as we also have our daughters keys as well as our home and i’m always worried about loosing them or if we got broke into.
Fantastic prize much better than leaving key under the plant pot
Great for mums house
This would be great for my dad
Wow this is so handy especially for my elderly in laws. Merry Christmas 🤶
Having been broken in to, and knowing it won’t be long before our son starts high school and eventually need his own sets of key at some point in those late teenage years. This option gives me a relieved peace of mind. I still occasionally forget my keys too so it would be epic for me in the first instance.
so many times I’ve locked my self out and been stood in the porch making an emergency call to my hubby to get him to come home and let me back in!! lol this would be a god send
This sounds very handy and great sercurity and peace of mind x
Darned good idea!
wow, I would like one of these for my daughter has she keeps locking herself out. Also being disabled it would come in very handy if 999 of I have to get into her for any reason
🙂 gr8 bit of kit ,
We’ve been meaning to look into getting something like this, my mobility isn’t so great, and this could be very useful when my partner and carer is away.
Sounds very useful
Extra security is always welcome. Merry Christmas!
These are great to keep keys safe in one place
this would be very useful for my parents house
This is a great idea. I love this for if your on holiday then friends/ family can check on our house with us having peace of mind.
we recently had one of these fitted at my father in laws house so the carers could get in. My only problem with it is that it doesn’t have a light source so when it’s really dark it’s hard to see the numbers.
I’d love to win one for my mum’s house though!
Such a useful thing to have
I used one of these to gain access to a holidayhome in Australia last year. Such a really brilliant idea! So useful for my home here as there are always people coming and going!

This would be so useful. Last time I got locked out I had to borrow a screwdriver and take the back gate off it’s hinges!
We have a large family and so many people going in and out. This would be great and would save us having to keep getting keys cut.
Wonderful for my large family. One or other of us always forgets the keys.
We have been needing one of these, but I have been dubious about the security. This looks very secure though.
Great idea!
Very useful as my partner often forgets his keys
This would be useful for my daughter who is always forgetting her key so i have to make a mad dash home to let her in !
This would be useful for my son who is always fogetting his key!
This would be so good and come in handy.
I think this is a great bit of kit to stop people leaving keys in silly places x
This is a great idea. We have one of those doors that locks itself when it closes. I am always petrified it will close while i’m doing something daft like putting the bin out in my pyjamas and I will be locked out
With a teenage daughter and niece, and an elderly cat that’s always getting up to mischief, this would be wonderful!
This would be great for our busy house
This would very useful particularly for my daughter when she wants to get into our house. She is hopeless at looking after keys
Very handy!
we use these alot for our tenants, it adds reassurance that family and staff can get in to a home in an emergency whilst being safely locked away.
We have been meaning to get one of these for a long while. They are very useful.
A great device
This would be FAB! Theres so many occasions this would have been perfect for our family.

My sister has one and it’s great as her teens are so forgetful they always lose keys
this would be super, my daughte ris always forgettting her keys
I had a burglary in my home earlier in the year (first time ever!) and the burglars took the spare keys to my home and car. So I had to have all the locks changed. Luckily I was well insured. So this would certainly be extra security.
Gosh I’m so sorry to hear that! It must have been a horrible experience for you. Good Luck with the competition
Thanks. It WAS an awful shock at the time. The first time anything like this had ever happened. Don’t know why I mentioned it. Must have been your surname that made me think of the burglars ha ha
Haha, yes it’s pretty unusual!
fantastic giveaway great for some security
Thanks, good luck!
Great for my dad – so useful
They are very useful! Good Luck! x
my Mum has a keysafe, supposedly just for her Careline people, but we all find it so useful we fancy one for ourselves
Yes they are great for carers, and gives you a peace of mind. Good Luck!
This would be really useful for security and peace of mind
This would be so handy as I have keys to my parents and siblings homes!
