Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE AccessPoint 001413 KeySafe Original 2-Key Slimline Pushbutton Combination Key Box, White
Customer Review: Safe, secure and convenient
Summary: 5 Stars
The idea of this sounded great and has proven to be just that. I bought one for the house so I don't have to worry about locking myself out, one for our garden shed so I don't have to carry my keys with me when I want to work outside and one for my Mom who has recently locked herself out and wanted me to drive 2 hours to let her in. Never again. Setting a combination is a simple turn of the screw. If you can't remember your exact combination order, but you can remember all the numbers in your combination, that's okay. As long as you enter all the correct numbers, despite the order, it will unlock. I'm using the KeySafes daily and no longer have to panic when I close the door that locks behind me and realize I forgot my keys. It's so much more secure than a hide a key. I've seen weather covers for these at other sites, but tried to mount them so they weren't feeling the worst of the rain and didn't bother with the covers. I've yet to encounter any weather problems.Customer Review: Works Great / Easy Install
Summary: 5 Stars
We have used 2 of these for several years with no problems. One is placed in the garage next to the door and the other is in the basement. Neither are directly exposed to the elements. The basement one is next to an outside door with a glass panel - I installed a lock requiring a key on either side so this keeps a spare handy there for emergencies.
As other reviewers have noted it does not matter which order your put in your combination so there are not 10,000 possible combinations but by my (probably wrong) calculation of 2 to the 10th power 1024 possibilities. I suspect anyone dedicated enough stealing your stuff would be more likely to pry it away from your house and use cutting tools to open it rather than spending that kind of time. In any case, it works great for what we use it for - so well, in fact, I got one for my parents as a Christmas gift this year!
Customer Review: Good system with some flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
I also realized that we need a much better system after seeing "It Takes a Thief". We bought this to put a spare key outside and have the key box inside. It is very handy and we have already used it several times. Hopefully its use will taper off as I start remembering to take my keys all the time :P
Like the other reviewers, I would love it if the sequence of the numbers would matter in the combination. I also didn't want to have to pay an arm and a leg so this will due. It is much, much better than hiding a key, making copies of keys for people to lose (or copy themselves), etc. We feel like we have much more control over who can get access to our home and who has keys to our home. I would definately recommend for everybody to get one of these little devices and install it. Installation is a breeze.

GE AccessPoint Slimline KeySafe 2-Key Case, White #001413
Great product.
- Heavy Duty.
- Everything well made.
- Combo easy to set and flexible (nothing needed to read).
- Easy to install (minutes). Mount on to something via 4 screws. If masonary or drywall, you will need to purchase drill bit and sleeves for screws. This product weighs a pound or two. Its heavy duty.
My application:
Condo front door. If I forget my key while taking out the trash, lockout service costs $20 - $75 and wait time. This key container was a no-brainer for me. And I did not want the padlock kind. Its a permanent install for me. My neighbors already asking about it.
Customer Review: Nice, but disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
The GE lock's push buttons are what drew me to it over the Master lock equivalent with it's rolling numbers. Plus, I read a review that dinged the Master lock for not being weather resistant. The GE lock, so far, seems to be of good quality. It is EXTREMELY easy to set/change the combination... very nice. However, there is no order to the set number's sequence... not so nice. For example, if you set the combination to 1 - 2 - 3, then this lock will also open for 2 - 1 - 3, and 3 - 2 - 1, and 3 - 1 - 2, and 2 - 3 - 1, and 1 - 3 - 2. Had I known this, I would have taken my chances with the Master lock.
