3.0/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)

Who it's for
- Best for a spare key in Best Key Lock Box – 3 Picks for Spare Keys and Guest Codes: A homeowner or renter who wants a low-cost spare key for family, a pet sitter or a cleaner; the push-button code is a set of buttons rather than an ordered PIN, so keep it to low-risk spare-key use, not valuables.
What we like
- Hangs on a doorknob, fence, railing or pipe with no tools
- Code can be changed as often as needed, with no batteries
- Compact 3-key size, from the KeySafe line that Wirecutter, Swiftlane, ButterflyMX and Bob Vila all recommend
What to know first
- Owners report the code is confusing to set (screw slots on the back) and that you must re-enter it to relock
- Owners report the same buttons open it in any order, so the effective code space is small
