I can't do the maths (at least not in the time that I am prepared to spent on it) but this Police Approved key safe has 1024 combinations. How bad must the worst be!

The Keysafe C500 which is their Police Approved product actually has 4096 different combinations

"How many potential combinations are there on a GE KeySafe™ ?
1024 potential codes."
http://www.keysafe.co.uk/frequently_asked_questions#
If the supplier cannot decide if it is 1024 or 4096 it does not inspire confidence.
Update: Thinking about it a lock with n buttons would have 2^n combinations. The C500 has 12 buttons so 4096 seems right. 1024 would be for a lock with 10 buttons like some of their other models. It seems that the FAQ hasn't been updated to make that distinction.0 -

The supplier does not have it wrong.
The first link is for the GE Keysafe at 1024 combinations.
The Police Approved model at 4096 combinations is the C500 model http://www.keysafe.co.uk/police_approved_supra_c500_keysafe_0020490 -
Is this the "first link" that you are referring to?There are 10 buttons. If you have the right 4 pressed in, it can be opened. The order doesn't come into it, they are separate physical buttons (see picture on http://www.keysafe.co.uk/).
If so then the picture is of a Keysafe with buttons 0-9,A & B. 12 buttons. 4096 combinations.0 -

The faqs in post #24 relate to standard GE Keysafe with 10 buttons http://www.keysafe.co.uk/j5_over_the_door_ge_keysafe_001017_8265
This is cheaper than the 12 button C500 police approved model0 -
I don't know whether it is suitable for placing outdoors but I saw a key safe in Aldi this week with 4 separate digits (10,000 combinations?) for £6.99. (At least the description says 4 digits. I can only see 3 in the photo).

The Aldi is not for outdoors if you believe in security. This one is meant for keys inside the house. It was Aldi however that first made me look at keysafes a few weeks ago when they did an outdoor one for £8.99. I was always aware of the risk of getting accidently locked out or losing keys when on hols, etc.
I googled lots of makes/models and ended up being convinced by the Keysafe C500 and decided it was worth paying out for.0 -
C500 is one of the best
In 10 years I have never known anyone crack the code.
Keysafes have been prised off properties but they are usually found near by when the thief realised they could not get into it.0 -
