Kidde AccessPoint 00524 KeySafe Original 3-Key Portable, Spin Dial, Black

Super heavy duty with millions of combinations that you can set yourself. You do have to take two screws out of the back of the lock when changing the combination and reinstall them but it was very simple to do. If you can handle a Phillips screwdriver and are not a complete klutz then you will have no problem selecting any combination that you want. It would be easier to destroy the door frame and lock than to get into this key box. Highly recommended. A+++UPDATE: Question about an elderly person operating the lock box.Just to turn the dial is not bad at all. It is a mechanical dial lock and a little bit gritty and not like some $1000 ball bearing bank lock. It's more like one of those standard Masters lock that everyone had on their lockers as kids. Since there are so many possible combinations (a real plus in my opinion) it does, however, make it a bit tough for a person with poor eyesight or limited finger dexterity to align the lock on the correct combination. The other thing is that the lock is a standard right-left-right lock that you are assumed to have some knowledge of.To open it you must:1. Turn the dial a couple of times to the right to clear the combination.2. Continue turning the dial right to the first letter.3. Turn the dial to the left PAST THE FIRST LETTER in the combination to the second letter in the combination.4. Turn the dial back to the right to the final letter in the combination.5. Manually press down on the button above the dial to open the tiny key safe and let the whole dial assembly/little door fall into your hand away from the back of the lock box the and then extract the key(s) stored inside. In other words the key door is NOT hinged. When the key box is open it is in two pieces, the dial/door as piece 1 and the lock box and loop that goes around the door knob as piece two.6. Close the safe by replacing the tiny key door and manually pressing up on the door release button to relock the little key safe and spin the dial.Note: To initially determine what you want as the combination is a bit challenging and may be too much for an elderly person to initially set the combination. It requires opening the safe as listed above and then using a Philips screwdriver to remove a plate and slightly disassemble the lock itself to move around the little rings to set each of the three letters of the combination. Then reassemble the lock and you are done until such a time that you want to change the combination again. Sounds tough but it is easily accomplished if you closely follow the instructions. So my recommendation is to have someone younger and nimbler to initially set the combination for the elderly person and then they can probably use it with no problems.All in all I love this little key safe and would buy another one in a heartbeat! I give it an A++++

It's a bit hard to set up in the beginning. You need a good light and a stable hand to place the spacers right. But once it's set up it works well. Seems durable and hard to break into. We use it for our dogwalker and they have no problem opening and closing it.

This is a great lock with a BIG WARNING.Personally, I find it strong, secure and simple to operate. In fact I find it very intuitive (and obvious). Which is why, after a few of my guests either struggled with opening it, or more often than not, didn't lock it again properly, I was simply dumbfounded.But how i think doesn't matter..... I can now state with 100% certainty this lock is confusing to operate to most people. Hard to believe? Yes. But I would not be taking the time to write this review if it was not a big issue. Even after "clear" instructions, this has been a struggle for me, so i now realize I have to list each and every step up to the point of relocking it.IN short: NOTHING is wrong with this lock. BUT to rely on people to "get" the concept and how it works clearly makes this a poor option for short term rental situations.Edit: ultimately I replaced this with a much simpler master tumbler lock. Have not had a guest issue since.

This product is awful. Works if it’s above freezing, as soon as it gets below freezing the dial freezes and it becomes inoperable. Do not purchase, the build quality is terrible

This is the only secure realtor keysafe lockbox out there.I have used digital wheel technology, push buttons technology and the only one that seems safe is the spin dial type. The other two aforementioned technologies that I have used were hacked into. The digital wheel technology was defeated by the Peterson knife tool or any feeler gauge and the push button technology was defeated by finger print dust or a invisible ink & UV light.I discover about the Peterson Knife Tool & the digital wheel technology, by process of elimination, when Hispanic Industrial Spies working for the Asian businesses enter my place when I was away. As normally I only keep the keys of my high security latch locks in the keysafe in case I accidentally lock myself out. And there was no need to keep the key for the high security deadbolt in the keysafe, as I can not lock the deadbolt lock without having the key on me. But the last time I felt overly confident about the keysafe that I put the spare key for the high security deadbolt in the digital wheel keysafe. Thus when Hispanic Industrial Spies working for the Asian businesses enter my place when I was away, it does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that the weakness is in the digital wheel keysafe, knowing that I already secure my windows & sliding patio door with special methods/hardwares.And with my luck, this spin dial technology will end up being hack. However I have had this spin dial keysafe technology before and it seems safe and I did not notice it was able to be hacked. And I am not aware of any tool able to defeat the spin dial yet. But am not saying that there might not be a tool to defeat the spin dial technology that I am not aware of, as I am not GOD and am not all knowing & all seeing.The only difference between this spin dial keysafe and the prior spin dial keysafe I had was that prior one had the alphabets place on the dial with a sticker of some kind. And after a few years, the alphabets on the sticker start to fade and then the sticker start to peel off. As a result I had to throw that spin dial keysafe away due to poor quality, not to mentioned not being able to read the alphabets clearly on the faded sticker.The dial on this GE Spin Dial Keysafe is painted on and look very attractive. I am very happy with this product and the quality of the workmanship.5 stars and a hooray for the GE Spin Dial Keysafe.Update 03/29/2013I have finally got the name of the Cheap Dial Combination Key Lock box that has a sticker with the alphabets on the dial mentioned above. I guess it is a cheap knock off of GE Spin Dial Keysafe and it goes by the name of Avanti Guardian Dial Combination Lockbox. Do a web search for "Avanti Guardian Dial Combination Lockbox" or an Amazon search for "Avanti Guardian Lockbox" and look at the picture, you can tell that the alphabet on the dial is a sticker place on top of the dial.Update 4/5/2019It seems that this Lockbox is able to be pick/hack under certain condition. To keep this item unpickable, make sure the top two combination discs do not have the grooves align with each other. If it is align, certain master hacker/picker can decode the combination. Thus if you don't pay attention, there is a 50% change of the grooves align with each other and are able to be decoded and open.
