Is there anything more frustrating than getting locked outside your house? While none of us really want to keep a key hidden outside, it can be extremely helpful when the unexpected happens.

Sometimes, keeping a key hidden outside is simply practical. For example, those who have kids who go home to empty houses and need to let themselves in. Certainly, you could send a key to school with your child, but I can’t even begin to guess at how many kids told me they couldn’t find their key when I worked in the schools.

Hidden Key Holders for Outside

Years ago, there didn’t seem to be very many options for hiding a key outside, but that isn’t the case anymore. Now there are more options all the time coming out. Here are different options that you can try.

Garden key holders are a popular option. These are a great, simple choice for those who want a quick and easy hiding place without having to deal with the hassle of remembering a safe combination.

Lock Box Key Holders

Lock boxes aren’t really the best option for long time use because they usually hang from the door handle. This makes them a bit of an eyesore and just plain annoying. That being said they are a great way to safely keep a key outside when you need one out there now and again. I have used mine for when I had a contractor that needed to get in and work on the house, or when I was out of town and needed someone to get in and take care of my cat.

A few years back I got to review a Stor-More Key Safe from WordLock. This is the lock box that I use when I need to leave a key outside for someone else. The lock is very easy to use, and very durable. What I love most of all is that it is easy to reset the combination for the lock. I mostly use it when I need to help other people get into my house, so being able to change the combination is really nice. Plus the combination you set is a word, so it’s really easy for other people to remember to help them get in.
