Need recommendation for lock box

Hello,

My condo building uses a key fob to enter the building and use the elevator. The building allows condo owners to place a shackle lock box on a fence outside of the building to store the key fob for guests or contractors. I recently had a contractor doing work in my unit. They retrieved the key fob, but at the end of the day when they went to return the key fob to the lock box, the lock box was gone. The Master Lock brand I was using has a lever inside to release the shackle, so I suspect the contractor may have left the box open by accident and someone took the lock. Another flaw with this lock is that the code can be changed when the lock box door is open. Thankfully that did not happen, but was a possibility. Can anyone recommend a lock box with a shackle that does not have the capability to release the shackle or change the code from inside the key compartment?

@Lisa10006 One solution could be to tell all who are using the lockbox on the fence is to close the lockbox after retrieving the key due to possible theft. I don’t think that’s too big a request even for the trades people. 

I absolutely agree! And to avoid getting bored, you can find a friend here http://surl.li/ugqzni

Hi Lisa 

,

Check out Igloohome products   We've been using the Smart Keybox 3 with the bridge. It's been working great.You can give individual codes to different people with specific time frames. It also uses a fob (comes with two), for more consistent visitors. If someone forgets to lock it, it will lock itself automatically.  Best of luck.

Hi @Jonathan2725,

 

Thanks for the tip on Igloo Home Products. I did look at Igloo, but it did not seem as though the lock could be left outdoors. The website says "We advise that the Keybox be secured in a sheltered area. It is splash-resistant with IP66 certifications, but is not water-proof". Otherwise, this would have been the perfect solution!
