Key safes

We can fit key safes to the outside of your property so that those you give the code to can enter without you having to get up and answer the door each time. This can be convenient for carers and others who visit you regularly.

Many people have key safes installed when they return home from hospital to help them recover without having to get up and down to answer the door.

Fitting a key safe is quick and easy and as we fit around 1,200 a year across Edinburgh, you can be sure that we know what we’re doing. Our C500 key safes are Police approved to give you peace of mind.

Please note that it is the responsibility of the key safe purchaser to ensure all owners/occupants of communal dwellings are informed and agree to the fitting of key safes in communal areas.  Care and Repair Edinburgh is not responsible for ensuring agreement or permission.

There is some funding available to assist people who receive Pension Credit
Guarantee or support group ESA.

Please get in touch to find out more.

What does it cost?

We fit key safes for a fixed fee including supplying and fitting. The fee for our most common C500 key safe with privacy cover is £95 (inc VAT). The privacy cover, hides the code changing mechanism to stop anyone with the code from making unauthorised code changes - keeping you in complete control. The privacy cover will also stop anyone from viewing the code should your key safe be left open for any reason.

If you do not own your home, please let your landlord know about the key safe installation.

What people say

Telephone call was dealt with promptly and advice given. It was reassuring to use a contractor that was recommended

It is so reassuring to know the trade people are vetted. Also, as always, the tradesman who came did a class job.

The hand rail at our back doorstep is just what we needed. The work was carried out promptly and efficiently by a pleasant worker. We are totally satisfied.

Calum is a very personable and competent young man. He listened carefully to the problem and fixed it. Can’t ask for more.

Very efficient service both on the telephone and by the joiner who came by to fit the keysafe. very impressed.

The key box was placed exactly where we wanted it to be put, with a maximum of efficiency and a minimum of fuss. You run a very good service which is greatly appreciated.

Alan is a gentleman. I’ve had him before and found him to be very helpful and willing to go the extra mile, by asking is there anything else I need done. This is an excellent service

Response from Care & Repair was prompt. Melvyn (volunteer) was caring and competent. A delightful man actually. I am so pleased that Care & Repair exists!
