Why is a Key Safe a Strategic Choice for Your Security?

Adopting a security key holder is not just a matter of order but a strategic decision directly impacting the protection of assets and people. The risks associated with unmanaged key management are significant: theft, unauthorised access, lock replacement costs, and loss of trust from clients or collaborators. A professional key safe mitigates these risks by offering a robust physical barrier and, in more advanced models, digital access control.

The main advantages include:

• Centralisation and Organisation: all keys are stored in one secure location, easily accessible only to authorised personnel. This eliminates chaos and time lost searching for the right keys, especially in business contexts like dealerships or large offices.
• Access Control: with mechanical or electronic combination locks, it’s possible to define who can access the keys and when. Key security boxes with codes allow you to easily change the combination, revoking access for former employees or suppliers without changing any locks.
• Prevention of Unauthorised Duplications: storing keys in a safe prevents them from being taken and duplicated illicitly, a real risk when keys are left unsecured.
• Operational Flexibility: for activities like B&Bs or holiday homes, an external key safe allows guests to check in by themselves at any time, improving service efficiency and client experience.
• Physical Durability: Bordogna Casseforti products are constructed from steel and certified according to the strictest European standards (such as EN 14450), ensuring solid protection against break-in attempts and tampering.

Types of Key Safes: a Guide to Choosing the Perfect Model

The range of solutions for key security is designed to meet very different needs. From small mini key safes for domestic use to large secure cabinets for managing hundreds of keys, choosing the right model depends on the specific application. Bordogna Casseforti offers a complete catalogue for every usage scenario.

External Key Safety Box: The Solution for Flexible Access

Ideal for the hospitality sector (B&Bs, hotels, holiday homes), construction sites, or home care, the outdoor key safe box is designed to withstand weather and tampering attempts. Models like the KEY BOX or KEYGUARD XL allow you to share a key securely. A guest or worker receives a code, enters it on the safe, and retrieves the key, eliminating the need for physical meetings. The steel structure and combination lock (with over 4,000 possible combinations) make this external key safe a practical and reliable solution.

Security Key Holder Cabinets for Businesses and Commercial Activities

When managing a high number of keys, such as in car dealerships, rental companies, large offices, or industrial complexes, a secure key cabinet is necessary. Models like PCB, LB KEY and LB CAR KEY from Bordogna Casseforti are designed for this purpose. Featuring a robust steel structure, removable key panels on telescopic guides, and numbered hooks, they optimize space and organisation. The choice between certified mechanical or electronic locks (EN 1300) allows for customised security levels according to corporate policies. These systems not only protect keys but also ensure efficient and traceable management.

How to Choose the Ideal Key Safety Box

Selecting the most suitable key holder safe requires analysing various factors. Carefully considering these aspects ensures a targeted and effective investment that perfectly responds to your security and operational needs.

• Capacity and Size: evaluate the number of keys to be stored, both current and future. It’s important to consider key types: car keys with remote controls, for example, require more space and sturdier hooks (as in the LB CAR KEY models).
• Installation Location: the choice between an external key safe box and an internal model is crucial. Outdoor solutions must have specific protection against corrosion and increased resistance to direct break-in attacks.
• Lock Type: the choice is between mechanical (key or combination) and electronic locks. Key safes with electronic codes offer more flexibility, allowing you to quickly change combinations and, in some cases, set multiple codes for different users.
• Security Level and Certifications: European certifications (such as EN 14450 S1/S2 or EN 1143-1) are an objective guarantee of break-in resistance levels. Checking the certification is the best way to ensure you are purchasing a reliable and tested product.
• Materials and Structure: a true key holder with code is made of adequately thick steel, with sturdy bolts and a door resistant to drilling and cutting. The Italian-made quality of Bordogna Casseforti ensures durability and reliability.
