Good key safe?

Hello,
I wonder if anybody could recommend a good key safe?
the key safe I currently have is like this - http://http://www.safeoptions.co.uk/master-lock-5404d-illuminated-key-safe.html, but the carers have managed to get through 21 keys and two locks in the past 3 weeks with this safe!
What is the most common style?
Thanks

Is it this one?
OP, we've had a very basic one at work and haven't had any real problems with it. What is happening, have you been able to work it out yet? Is the key too snug a fit? Which lock is it they've broken, the door or the safe?Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Thanks for your messages. Sorry the link isn't working. It should be this:

I can't actually get to the safe myself, but what seems to cause confusion is a) the actual mechanism of how to use the lock, I.e. the key comes out the bottom, but b) the key remains in the base of the keysafe when you are using it, I presume to stop people accidentally walking off with it. This means that the key is bulkier than usual, so carers keep snapping the key whilst using it, Twice snapping the key off within the lock, hence needing two new front door locks, and a locksmith! All pretty expensive stuff.0 -
No.s 2 and 3 are the most common ones I see as a community carer http://www.amazon.co.uk/tag/key%20safe/products#page=1:sort=relevantPlease do not quote spam as this enables it to 'live on' once the spam post is removed.
If you quote me, don't forget the capital 'M'

Does it need to be illuminated? Ours isn't, and is on a dark alleyway, so we've stopped using it!Signature removed for peace of mind0 -
Mines like no 3, got via age uk. It's fine for one key but very fiddly to get 2 keys back into.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

In Wiltshire, the Bobby Van will install a key safe for vulnerable people. I think they charge £50.0
