What do you do if you need to let someone into your home when you’re not there? Or how about going off to work and leaving your car at home to be collected by the garage for repairs. Where do you leave the key? Under the door mat? In a plant pot outside your front door? Under the tyre? It’s not the smartest solution, but so many people do just that!
With an outdoor key safe you can put your mind at ease knowing that your keys are completely secure and will only be accessible to the right people.
For this month’s give-away, we’ve teamed up with The Key Safe Company to offer one of our readers a Supra C500 Outdoor Key Safe worth £59.94. The key safe works by setting a secret code number (there are 4,000 different combinations – so it shouldn’t be easy to guess). Punching the correct number and turning the lever opens the safe where you can store up to 6 keys (depending on size & type). You can change the code as often and as many times as you like for added security.
To be in with a chance of winning, comment below saying how an outdoor key safe would be useful to you. For example, I regularly get locked out of the house if I take the dog for a walk and forget to take my key and Justin goes out in the meantime. Problem solved if we kept a spare key in a key safe!

It would help to keep my home secure from burglars
I have locked myself out a couple of times, each time having to wait for hubby to come home!
I forgot keys few times in the house so we had to break the lock this Woul be real handy if I win this.thanks for the chance!
Locking yourself out of the house can happen to anyone. A little safe like this would be a lot more secure than keeping the spare key under a flowerpot!
I’m constantly forgetting my keys and it drives my other half mad! This way I’d always have a secure spare
Added security and peace of mind
That would be great to keep an emergency key safe at my ageing mother’s house. I fear the day someone is going to have to break in to rescue her after a fall
so my daughter can get in when we are out
i have lost my key a couple of times due to not having anywhere to store it so this would be very useful for me
I need a key safe as I am always loosing my keys
it would be great for my home, as we have a dog, and sometimes spend long amount of time out, so my family can come and let themselves in with the key out of the safe rather than dishing loads of keys out.
I’m a real worrier and terrified of getting locked out, so I have to check my keys several times every time I leave the house, and take them with me even when i’m popping out to the dustbin just in case the door bangs shut, so one of these would give me real peace of mind.
It would mean if i could have a spare set of keys for my kids to get into the house or family to use while i’m away on business, without having to worry about handing out several sets of keys & the worry of having to change locks if someone lost a set.
My favourite food to eat at a BBQ is traditional Pork sausages
My father-in-law has vascular dementia and I am his carer. This would come in handy when the nurse comes to visit so she can get in if I can not get back in time to get let her in
it would make me feel more secure
this would be great for the carers that look after my mum
well, i keep forgetting my key, so it would be perfect
This is a brilliant idea and we need one of these safes. Hubby and I have the most complicated system of finding our spare key when we get locked out (which happens frequently). Would love to win.
My door is always blowing shut on me and locking me out! This would be fab!
As my husband is an ex security officer it would be worth its weight in gold
Having had a serious fall & fractures unable to move from where I fell, it would be useful if I needed help when I’m on my own.
im always locking myself out and this would come in so handy x
I’m disabled and live in a first floor walk up flat so it would be really handy for letting people in when I can’t manage the stairs.
it would be great for the mother in law when she had a fall i had to break in as the hubby had the spare key
Great for when you are renting your place on AirBnB
After being burgled this would make me feel a little bit more secure.x
Would be great, the kids are always forgetting their keys
for those few occasions we lock ourselves out it would be a godsend in saving so much hassle by having somewhere secure like this to fall back on
My grown children who never seem to leave home but always lose their keys. This would be the ideal solution.
This is a great idea. We’ve done a couple of house swaps in the past and always mailed the keys via special delivery. This would be so much simpler
This would be so useful for my mum who seems to lock herself out of her new house at least once a day. It’ll save her having to walk round to my house alone in the dark after getting home and realising she is locked out again! At 71, she is too old to be wandering the streets at night! 🙂
extra security is always helpful
I would gift this to my Aunt who lives on her own, and has fainting fits, so it would be handy to have this, so if we cant get hold of her or she is not answering the door, we can get in
have a teenager whos always out and about and forever forgets his key-a keysafe would be very useful
This would be great for added security and peace of mind.
I am always leaving my keys inside and have gotten locked out several time
We have twice locked ourselves out of our house in the last few years, which is quite a traumatic experience and lots of hassle/expense. Having recently discussed getting an out-door safe, it would be wonderful to win this!
This is the only secure way of making sure you don’t lock yourself out of your house and I think everyone should have one …

Be useful if we got forgot our keys.
Would be very handy, won’t lock myself out with this.
I keep popping out to the bins or the garden without my keys, the door closes behind me and off to the neighbours for a spare key – it would be so much easier to have a spare key to hand!
This would be great so that we can leave a key and give code to a neighbour who can then access our property should the burglar alarm go off etc…
It would mean my 12 year old has access to the house after school each day as I don’t trust him to have his own key yet
It has been known for one of us to leave the house without our keys so although we keep a set hidden in our garage it would be great to know they were safe and secure in case someone found them
That would be brilliant, it’s always a bit worrying leaving a key lying around the garden somewhere. This would give me peace of mind.
This would be really useful when i’m out gardening. I don’t want to leave the house empty and unlocked because it’s so easy for someone to slip in quickly but having the house keys in my pocket is uncomfortable and I worry about them falling out into the bushes or hedge.
this would be useful especially when i roll home drunk!
I am just naturally forgetful and to arrive home and be locked out is just unbearable. I would have it at the back of the house and ask my neighbour if I could go over their fence
It would be great for my son to save him taking a key out, I am always worried he will lose it
I have memory issues, so sometimes mislay my keys
I’m always forgetting my key so this would be perfect as I don’t like to leave a spare one where it could be easily found
This would be fantastic to enable carers and visitors can come in without having to wait 20 mins while i shuffle to the door or having to keep the door unlocked so i would feel a LOT safer too, thank you for the chance,
Family members that are forever losing or forgetting to take their keys with them…
My husband is forever losing keys & having to collect them from my work!
Well! I have a 16 year old daughter ( need I say more!!) who is always losing her key, causing sleepless nights, high costs etc, this would be great!
It would be very useful so we could both leave the house without one of us running the risk of being locked out on our return.
It would be good when go away and various family members can use it to check on and feed our pets for us, rather than one person.
It would help me because I know my Grandchildren would always have access to our home and they don’t need to be carrying a key, that could get lost at school.
This would be perfect for when our dog is left home for a while as friends / family would be able to pop in at anytime to check on her.
As a uni student sharing a house it would be useful to have a spare key in case I lose one on a night out, or if I forget it at home and a housemate locks the door behind them! Saves having to annoy my housemates 😛
This is such a great idea….I’ve lost my keys a few times (much to my mothers annoyance) and have had to wait for her to come home to get in the house.
Great to keep a spare key somewhere safe.
this would be great now my sons in high school as then he wouldn’t have to worry about taking and losing his key!

We had one at our old house – was great for my parents visiting and incase of getting locked out
I keep forgetting my keys so this would be perfect
I think it would make me feel safer when my son was sleeping at his friends x
With a large family, a key safe would be a God send. I loathe having to hand out hundreds of keys for the children to then ask for another because theirs has been misplaced.
Also, I never take my keys with me, I’m far too disorganised, so we currently just don’t lock our door. That’s not safe at all. A safe would make us safe 😀
It would be great when my partner forgets his keys!
It would be great for emergencies, I had to call a locksmith out last year and it cost a lot!
I have 4 children and their partners constantly coming and going and I often receive phone calls wondering where I am as someone has forgot their keys. I would love this to keep a spare one!

I have been known to lock myself out of the house and/or forget my key and as we live in the countryside my partner is always at least an hour away with a spare, so this would be fantastic for me!
A secure key kept in the garden would be invaluable to me as I’ve lost count of the times I’ve popped out to the bin and the doors blown shut behind me and locked me out.
Occasionally my other half walks off with my key when we’re leaving in a rush on the school run. The last time I had to knock on the neighbours door for our spare, I think I’d interrupted something important between them. I don’t really want to knock again!! Eeeeek.
I could go out, get drunk and not worry about losing my keys and locking myself out again.
It would be helpful for my children and save them carrying keys around all the time.
I don’t trust my son taking a key to school (he loses a calculator a week!) so we would be able to go out & leave a key safely for him.
Great for when you forget your keys
i have lost my key a couple of times due to not having anywhere to store it so this would be very useful for me 🙂
For my Mum who sometimes accidentally locks herself out!
It would be brilliant for the kids who are always forgetting the keys and end up sitting on the doorstep waiting for us to get home!
Our door locks when you close it so having a key safe would be useful to put a spare key in!
I would give this to my gran who has recently had some falls. She’s a very determined farmers wife who doesn’t like to show weakness but having one of these alongside her lifeline would provide her with reassurance that someone could get to her. It would also provide reassurance for the family
a lot more security to keeping the spare key
Like you, I often go out on a dog walk and forget to take a key!
Would be handy for if my partner goes out without picking her key up. I’m disabled, so takes me ages to get to the door to let her in.
An outdoor safe key would be great for sharing access to the family home.
I love Cumberland sausage with homemade potato salad.
Stop me loosing my dam keys!

my mother in law is always forgetting her keys and usually my husband or his sister have to drive round to let her in. this would be amazing for her!
In case I forgot or locked in my keys
Most of the time I love living alone, until I lose my keys. The classic example is taking the dogs out in the bike trailer, returning home and putting it away, remembering to recharge it, picking up any shopping, taking off the lights, checking it’s safe to let the dogs out, locking the side door, walking to the front door, get my keys out… just left them with my bike behind the locked gate
I am always forgetting my keys and having to wait hours for someone to come home so having one of these will mean I can keep a spare set in a safe place
we are hoping to get a dog so would be great for the dog walker to use

It would help me if I can’t get home for any reason, then a friend or family member could check in on my animals and house.
So useful for someone to get in while we are away if needed
It would be so much safer than leaving a key somewhere in the garden
Ideal as my partner is always losing keys misplacing them and we can never find them at least if we had this they would be in a safe place and i would know where to find them

We have a 14 year old who gets home from school before we get home from work and he has forgotten his keys several times – at least twice when it was raining and he had no shelter. We also have an elderly relative nearby who has locked herself out once or twice.
We don’t carry a key as we have an electronic lock, so it would be ideal to be able to have one available to keep a key in in case the lock goes wrong!
I have a large family, cuts down on expense of having keys cut, and this would certainly be safer than the “safe” place we have at the moment!

It would give me peace of mind to know my spare keys were locked away securely, somewhere safe and accessible, and would save me from having to hunt for them when I need them.
We have 2 cars and 2 motorbikes but only one front door key each – I hate huge amounts of keys dangling down and they are not good on a motorbike either so would be great to just take our vehicle key and have a key lock!
It would be great for when we go on holiday and neighbours come to check on the house (and keep the plants alive!)

It would enable my carer to gain access in case of emergencies, but still leave me feeling secure
It’d be great, our teenage daughters are often misplacing their keys so they could still get in the house x
Oh yes please, this would be so handy. No more ringing hubby at work to tell him that I’ve locked myself out!
Add security and keep safe.

It woud also be helpful if I fall or have a medical emergency because I can tell the emergency services where to find the key if I can’t move or get to the door.
great for sarah who always forgets her keys – will stop her being stuck out in the cold.
I think it would be great for holding keys to the shed or back gate – but I don’t think I’d trust something that could maybe be smashed open that holds my house keys. It’s also a very obvious spot where your keys are kept.
