My professional opinion. The best key box out there.
I'm a locksmith, as such I ABHOR the idea of leaving keys outside... but, sometimes, be it a commercial property where a key must be accessible in case of emergency, a property rental where managers aren't able to be on site to turn over keys, or even residential property, there's just no other way. These are the key boxes I recommend and use. They're solidly constructed, EXTREMELY hard to cut open, and if mounted correctly to a concrete fixture, virtually impossible to remove without anything short of using a sledgehammer to take a chunk of the wall out... and THEN they'd still need to get it OPEN, which is a WHOLE different trial... I've seen some videos out there showing "hacks" for getting the unit open, but I can tell you as a locksmith, half of them don't work, and the other half you need A LOT of practice, and luck, to perform... I've had to cut these open for customers who've lost their combination, and it's NOT a quick or fun job, even knowing exactly what I'm doing.
NOTE.... While this doesn't take away from the value in my opinion, it doesn't come with wall anchors, and the screws are not the best. You will need to supply your own wall anchors and I recommend upgrading the screws, as well as applying epoxy or construction adhesive to the back of the unit before mounting to make it truly secure.... For masonry I recommend lead anchors and stainless fasteners, as well as construction adhesive or two part epoxy which will bond to masonry and metal... For mounting to wood, you definitely want the longest stainless screws you can safely use for whatever you're attaching the unit to and an epoxy or construction adhesive that will bond to wood and metal.... This only adds a few bucks to the over all cost, but you gain a LOT more security.
