    Those "combination" key safe locks are a doddle to open with nothing more sophisticated than a strip of paper. Just look on YouTube! My DD bought a house and it had a locked keysafe in its porch which they didn't have the combination for. Took me 5 minutes, including watching the video, and I'd never done it before.
    But if it's hidden they would have to find it first.  Mine is well hidden and nowhere near the door

    How hard would it be to jemmy that thing off, nip round the corner with the angle-grinder and then come back and open up?
    Surely someone equipped with - and willing to use - a jemmy and an angle grinder will have a very good chance of getting through into your house with or without a key safe?
    But this is for his daughter, is she likely to be able to fit a jemmy and an angle grinder in her satchel (or whatever they are called these days)!  School might also frown upon her "going equipped".

    Might help the daughter see off the prolific bag thieves, if not then the weight of toolage might slow them up a bit.
