Installation & Setup Recommendations
For Maximum Security:
-
Mount the Key Safe 10+ metres away from the container it secures (prevents thieves from accessing both simultaneously)
-
Install at Eye Level – Approximately 1.5m high prevents ground-level tampering while remaining accessible
-
Use Security Fixings – Expansion bolts into concrete or masonry provide maximum hold
-
Record Serial Numbers – Keep a log of padlock key codes for replacement purposes
-
Establish Key Protocol – Train staff to return keys to safe immediately after use

Reduced Liability Insurance providers often favor sites with documented key management procedures. This combo demonstrates professional access control standards.
Scalability Standardize across your entire container fleet. Whether you manage 5 units or 500, this combo provides consistent security protocols.
FAQs
Q: Can the key safe be mounted directly on the shipping container? A: While technically possible, we recommend mounting the key safe on a nearby wall or post (minimum 3 metres from the container). This separation prevents thieves from accessing both the container and key storage simultaneously. If container mounting is necessary, position it on the opposite end from the lock box.
Q: Is the padlock guaranteed to fit my existing lock box? A: This padlock is designed to fit standard UK container lock boxes (75mm-80mm width, straight shackle profile). It fits most welded and bolt-on lock boxes used on 20ft and 40ft containers. For non-standard lock boxes, check your internal dimensions (minimum 80mm x 30mm clearance required).
Q: What happens if I lose all the padlock keys? A: We recommend storing one spare padlock key in a secondary secure location. If all keys are lost, the padlock must be cut by a locksmith (typical cost £80-£120). The key safe combination can usually be reset by the facility manager using the master override key.
