Home & Business Safes

Frontline Locksmiths can supply, install, service and repair safes of all types, sizes and complexity β€” from a straightforward home cash safe to a fire-rated commercial document safe.

Types of Safes We Supply and Install

  • Home safes β€” for cash, jewellery, documents and valuables
  • Fire-rated safes β€” protecting documents and data from heat damage
  • Data and media safes β€” designed specifically to protect hard drives, USB and digital media
  • Document safes β€” A4 and larger formats for certificates, contracts and records
  • Pharmaceutical safes β€” compliant storage for medications and controlled substances
  • Gun safes β€” secure firearms storage meeting Victorian legislative requirements
  • Commercial and floor safes β€” heavy-duty options for business premises
  • Safety deposit boxes β€” for high-value items requiring maximum security

We supply safes that meet insurance standards for residential and commercial applications. If your insurer specifies a particular rating or fixing requirement, let us know and we’ll confirm whether the product we’re recommending is compliant before installation.

Safe Installation

A safe is only as secure as its installation. We bolt-fix safes to floors and walls to prevent removal β€” a safe that isn’t secured can be carried off the premises entirely. We carry appropriate fixing hardware for concrete, timber flooring and wall surfaces.

Can't Open Your Safe? We Can Help

If you can’t open your safe due to a forgotten combination, lost keys, electronic lock failure or a damaged mechanism β€” we offer a safe opening and bypass service. We work on most standard brands and can reset combinations, replace electronic locks or rekey mechanical locks on the same visit wherever possible.

Key Safes – Secure Key Storage for Homes, Rentals & Businesses

A key safe is a wall-mounted security box that holds one or more keys behind a code-protected lock. It gives authorised people secure access to a spare key β€” without hiding it under a pot plant or relying on a neighbour.

Frontline Locksmiths can supply and install both traditional combination/push-button key safes and the growing range of digital key safes β€” now increasingly the preferred choice for real estate agencies, body corporates and businesses that need to track access.

Traditional Key Safes

We stock key safes from Kidde and Master Lock β€” two of the most widely used and reliable brands for residential and commercial key safe applications. Available in push-button code and combination dial formats, in single-key and multi-key sizes.

These are practical, weather-resistant, and straightforward to use β€” a solid choice for homeowners wanting a backup access point, landlords managing property access, and businesses wanting a spare key onsite.

Digital Key Safes

Digital key safes are becoming the preferred solution wherever access tracking matters. Rather than a shared combination code, each user accesses the key safe via the TT Lock app, a PIN, or a fob β€” and the system logs exactly who accessed the safe and when. Codes can be created, modified and deleted remotely without physically attending the site.

We recently supplied two major Melbourne real estate agencies with digital key safes for their sales and property management teams. The ability to track which team member last accessed a key β€” and issue or revoke access instantly β€” has replaced a lot of manual key register management. Our digital key safe range includes models from McGrath Smart Locks, Lionhead and Digital Lock Australia / TT Lock compatible products.

Apartment and Owners Corporation Access

Digital key safes are increasingly being used in apartment buildings and common areas where multiple authorised users require access to keys, utility rooms or building management facilities. Access can be granted to committee members, building managers, cleaners or contractors while maintaining a complete audit trail of every opening event.

Recently installed for an owners corporation in Box Hill, this FL-K3F allows authorised users to access common property keys without the need for physical key handovers or paper sign-out registers.

Frontline Locksmiths FL-K3F Smart Key Safe

The FL-K3F is our own Frontline Locksmiths digital key safe β€” compact enough to mount discreetly outside your property, yet smart enough to manage access for family members, tradespeople, property managers and carers without ever handing over a physical key.

Unlike a traditional push-button key safe, the FL-K3F connects to the TT Lock app, giving you a complete audit trail of every access event β€” who opened it, and when. You can grant access for a specific window of time, then revoke it instantly when it’s no longer needed. No changing combinations, no chasing keys back.

Unlock it six ways: Bluetooth, WiFi, PIN code, RFID card, fob or fingerprint. Battery life runs up to 12 months at standard use, and if it does run low, USB-C emergency power backup means you’re never locked out.

FL-K3F Key Features

  • 6 ways to unlock: Bluetooth, WiFi, PIN code, RFID card/fob and fingerprint
  • Roomy enough to hold multiple house keys and a car key
  • Up to 150 individual user codes and 150 RFID cards
  • Full access audit trail via TT Lock app β€” see who accessed and when
  • Grant access by hours, days or weeks β€” revoke instantly from your phone
  • Wi-Fi enabled via gateway for remote access from anywhere in the world
  • Up to 12 months battery life at standard use (10 openings per day)
  • USB-C emergency power backup if battery runs flat
  • Wall mount or shackle installation options
  • Compatible with TTLock, TTRenting and TTHotel platforms

Family Access Without Spare Keys

Digital key safes are also popular with families who need a secure way for children, relatives or carers to access the home without carrying a physical key. Temporary PIN codes can be created for visitors, support workers or tradespeople and removed instantly when no longer required.

This Ringwood installation was mounted inside a garage, allowing school-aged children secure access after school while keeping house keys protected and fully managed by the homeowner.

Who Uses Key Safes?

We regularly supply and install key safes for:

  • Homeowners and families β€” a secure backup access point so a lockout never means a full emergency callout
  • Property managers and Rental providers β€” simplify contractor and tradesperson access without physical key handovers and update codes between tenancies instantly
  • Real estate agencies β€” track who has accessed property keys across sales and property management teams
  • Owners corporations and Body Corporates β€” secure key access for common property areas, utility meters and building management points
  • Businesses β€” spare office key stored securely on-site for after-hours access or emergencies
  • Aged care, retirement living and over-50s communities β€” spare key access for family members, carers and support workers, without the client needing to manage key handovers
  • Airbnb, Stayz and short-stay rental hosts β€” manage guest check-in and key return without being present, and update access codes between each booking in seconds
  • NDIS participants and home care clients β€” allow support workers and carers secure, independent access without the client needing to manage key handovers themselves

Key Safe Installation – Why It Matters

Where and how a key safe is installed significantly affects its security. A poorly positioned or improperly fixed key safe can be defeated quickly. When we install, we consider:

  • Location β€” away from the main entry, not visible from the street, not in an obvious spot
  • Surface fixing β€” masonry anchors into brick, or appropriate fixings for timber and rendered surfaces
  • Height and orientation β€” practical for the intended users while minimising visibility from the street
  • Code guidance β€” we advise on code selection and changing codes between users

Frontline Locksmiths carries the fixings and equipment for brick, rendered masonry, weatherboard and timber framing. Most key safe installations are completed in under 30 -60 minutes and can be combined with any other locksmith work at the same visit.

Frequently Asked Questions – Safes & Key Safes

Most home and contents insurers specify a minimum cash rating for safes β€” this refers to how much cash or equivalent value the safe is rated to protect. We can advise on the right rating for your insurance requirements. If you have a specific insurer requirement, let us know and we’ll confirm compliance before recommending a product.

Belle and Ben are a pleasure to work with. Always ready not just to change keys or locks, but with the advise to get the correct product for each property.

Mark Minkiewicz

A huge thank you to Ben from Frontline. We locked the keys out of the car, and he came out on a weekend and spent 3 hours using specialised tools to open the door and then arrange duplicate keys. It was a European model so very tricky, but Ben was up to the challenge! Would highly recommend Frontline!
