Hide-a-Keys
Key hiders are useful items to keep your house safe and secure, and they come in a multitude of styles. Why hide a spare key under your door mat when you can have a more concealable hiding place? An effective security plan to protect your family and valuable possessions includes a lock box to hide spare keys or a key holder that looks like a real rock.
What is a key hider?Key hiders are made to keep a spare key safe from unwanted use. You can hide important keys in a programmable box on your front door, or camouflage them in a nearby hiding place. You will then always have an extra hidden away just in case you lock yourself out of your house or car. There are different types to consider.
