What is a police preferred key safe?
How does a key safe become police preferred? Why is choosing a key safe with police preferred specification so important?
With security being one of the top priorities for homeowners, it's important that you install a high-quality key safe for improved access to your home. Fitted to the outside of your home for safe key storage and sharing, key safes play a vital role in secure home access. There are many reasons to install a key safe; for the emergency services, allowing access for a tradesperson or to reduce the chance of losing keys for teens and forgetful adults. There is great convenience in using a key safe to let in family, friends and trusted people like a house sitter, carer, cleaner or dog walker.
What is a police preferred key safe?
Not all key safes are equal! There are many key sharing devices on the market that don’t offer the optimum level of home security. It’s important to opt for a key safe which has been independently tested and certified if you’re looking for peace of mind, as well as convenience. At The Key Safe Company, we recommend that you choose a police preferred key safe. Formerly known as police accredited, police preferred specification is one of the most widely recognised accolades awarded to home security products that can deter crime. Issued by Secured by Design (SBD), an official police security initiative, ‘police preferred’ is SBD’s product-based certification scheme that works to improve home security. Police preferred key safes have been rigorously tested to withstand physical attacks and allow safe and secure key sharing. Conversely, key safes without the police preferred specification badge are unlikely to have been tested to the same high standard and could leave your home vulnerable to crime.

Our police preferred key safes have been independently tested by Building Research Establishment (BRE) - achieving the same standard as a domestic front door.

Trusted by over 2 million users in the UK alone, our police preferred key safes are widely used to share keys in all manner of uses, including Airbnb, rented accommodation, void properties and enabling carer access into vulnerable people’s homes.
What is the quality of police preferred key safes?
When you buy a police preferred key safe, you will not only be getting a top-quality key safe but will be purchasing one from a company that never compromises on standards. We ensure that every key safe leaving the assembly line delivers on quality by using an ISO-accredited factory. To maintain the police preferred specification, our products have to undergo initial security testing by independent security experts and be regularly re-tested. Our manufacturing facilities are also inspected on a regular basis to ensure correct processes are used and maintained for maximum product security and reliability.
