Master Lock Select Access Key Safe 5401D Cons

  • When door is closed the combination wheels must be moved to lock
  • As with all outdoor key safes there is no universal security standard
  • It will withstand most abuse but not a violent attack
The Master Lock Key Safe is primarily designed for use as a storage unit for spare keys. As with all key safes, if violently attacked, it could be removed or broken. But these risks have to be assessed against the benefits it offers to the elderly in particular. It is a reliable and inexpensive safe that is ideal for the purpose intended.
