Having a key safe installed outside a building can be a convenient and safe way of storing a set of keys nearby for an authorised person to gain access to a property.
Within the functionality of a key safe is the possibility that you can change the code or method of entry at any time, but how is this done? As a property manager, you must understand how this is done for each building you have responsibility for.
Let’s look at how key safe entry permissions are typically altered so you can keep access to a property private and secure.
Why key safe codes might need changing
It’s a wise idea to change a key safe code now and then, much like it is to change an online password regularly. This means that, in the unlikely scenario that anybody you don’t want knowing a code discovers it, it can be changed to make sure the property is safe once again.
Previously, with key safes that had a four-number combination to unlock the box, for instance, this could be deemed a nuisance for residents and property managers. Property managers would need to tell every tenant of the updated code and each tenant would now need to remember this to gain entry.
Tenants have the right to feel safe and secure in their rented homes, as outlined by UK government legislation. This makes it even more important to stay on top of security by only installing the best measures possible in the properties you manage, including a remotely managed key safe.
Manage key safe access remotely
Every key safe will have its own method of changing the passcode or entry. For instance, Intratone offers a key safe that is remotely managed so you can stay in control of who accesses the key safe and is easily updateable. Holding up to 500 keys at once grants property managers the convenience of storing keys for multiple tenants if there are several living within a building.
The ability to remotely change the access which is granted to a key safe gives peace of mind to both tenants and property managers alike that, should an electronic key fob with access to the key safe be lost, it can be remotely deactivated while the rest of the key fobs remain functional.
As the new technology allows property managers to easily remove one potentially compromised key fob from accessing the key safe, it quickly and effectively secures the property for all stakeholders at your fingertips.
Intratone has an abundance of safety products available, including several key safe options. Explore the website today to see how to optimally protect a residence.
