I think that kind of defeats the object though, you have to carry the key to the key box:D:D
Plus what an invitation to the local scullies, 1 whack with a hammer and bingo.

I think if the local scallie was going to come along with a big hammer he could use it on the door itself, i don't think a well secured box is any less secure.
The type of box i was suggesting was one with a digital lock, so you leave your keys in it you'll only need to remember your 'pin' number. So safe from the thieves.
I leave my keys under the plantpot next to the frontdoor, (the criminals will never think to look there).

Oh No, we put them under the dustbin, much more secure.;);) It's an important point though, many people do such things, can't believe that sell plastic rocks with key slots in the underside that are intended for such purpose, that you are supposed to hide in the garden.:wall::wall:

Check out police advice on your suggestion, can't recall where I read it but it is frowed upon.;);)

As it's good practice to change the locks when you buy a new house, isn't this forcing the buyers to fork out a lot of money for a new lock as they'll have to replace like with like.

Don't you just change the code?

Get your composite door with a multi point locking mechanism and then fit a good quality euro cylinder, something like the ABS Secure 3 Star or Garrison Multi Lock.

What happens if the key free lock fails? How would you get in?

yeah just had new windows and doors done and wanted the key free thing they wouldnt even sell me one cuz of the hassle they have had when it fails to work.....

It also opens with a key fob. Website doesn't say these are reprogrammable.
