Safe and secure key access with Nottingham on Call
Published: Wednesday, 25 March 2026
Key safes, sometimes known as lock boxes, are often seen outside homes, particularly in rentals and holiday lets. They provide a convenient way to securely store keys, allowing access without the need to meet someone in person.
For Nottingham on Call customers, a key safe plays an important role in supporting independent living. It makes sure that emergency services, as well as authorised care or health professionals, can gain access to a home quickly and safely when needed.
We know that some people may feel unsure about having house keys stored outside their home. We want to reassure you that you that Nottingham on Call only uses high-quality, secure by design key safes to give you the complete peace of mind that only authorised people will be able to access your keys.
Trusted security standards
The key safe we install is the Supra C500, manufactured by The Keysafe Company. This model meets rigorous security standards, including:
- A Secured by Design police preferred rating
- An A5 attack rating, that means it is extremely attack resistant

Professional and discreet installation
To maintain both security and for your peace of mind, Nottingham on Call follows strict installation guidelines:
- Key safes are only fitted to brick, blockwork, or high-quality concrete, in line with manufacturer recommendations
- Installation is carried out in a discreet location, agreed with you (behind a drainpipe or at the back of your home, for example)
We recently fitted a key safe to a resident's home after her discharge from hospital after an accident.
The resident said: "Regarding the key safe and installation, my visitors, who are familiar with using these, have been very complimentary about the security and quality of the safe.
"They were also impressed with the careful siting of the box so that it is convenient to the front door. The view of it from the street is obscured by the rainwater pipe (just as I requested).
"Until this accident I had been very able and independent. It was such a relief to get this help from an organisation I could trust
"Please pass on my thanks to the person who fitted it and all involved, you did a very good job."
