MASTER LOCK Wall Mounted Light Up Dial Key Safe, Medium (72 x 126 x 52 mm) – Grey Zinc, Outdoor
Product description
What to know
The MASTER LOCK Wall Mounted Light Up Dial Key Safe is a compact lock box designed for indoor and outdoor use. It’s intended for secure storage of keys and access cards, with a focus on easy access for home, office, industries, vehicles and Airbnb-style scenarios. The medium size fits a moderate number of keys or cards, making it suitable for households, workplaces or rental properties where trusted access needs to be shared with caregivers, cleaners or family members. On the surface, it aims to balance security with everyday practicality, without relying on traditional padlocks or codes.
Key features
On paper, the standout features are the resettable 4-digit combination for keyless entry, a large open lever for comfortable use, and light up dials that improve visibility in low light. The dials illuminate automatically each time the weather cover is opened, which is handy if you need access in the dark or dim conditions. The body is metal with a weather-resistant cover, designed for permanent mount installation. This contributes to durability in environments where the box may be exposed to the elements.
Technical details
Specifications include a lock body width of 72 mm, with interior dimensions of 106 mm H x 60 mm W x 25 mm D. A CR2032 battery powers the light-up dials and is replaceable, which means ongoing usability without frequent changes to the hardware. The unit ships with a mounting kit, enabling secure wall installation at a convenient height for daily use.
What stands out in use
If you prioritise straightforward access for multiple trusted users, the combination-based entry removes the need for physical keys in daily rotation. The large dials and the illuminated display reduce friction when opening the safe in poor light or after dark, a practical touch for locations such as porches, garages or workshop entrances. The weather-resistant construction supports outdoor installation, though the overall effectiveness will depend on how well the unit is anchored and whether the mounting surface is appropriate for the included kit.
Practical use cases
This key safe is well suited to scenarios where several people need to retrieve keys or access credentials: a caregiver visiting a home, a cleaner or maintenance person, or tenants and landlords sharing access in a rental property. It can also work for vehicles or light industrial settings where temporary access needs to be granted. The medium size makes it more practical than a small box for multiple keys, but not so large that it becomes cumbersome in constrained spaces.
What to review before buying
- Ensure the mounting location allows secure wall attachment and provides convenient reach for intended users.
- Note the interior cavity size to confirm it accommodates your keys or cards without crowding.
- Consider battery access: replaceable CR2032 should be readily available, and the lighting feature depends on the battery in use.
- If you expect frequent use in complete darkness, verify that the light-up mechanism and weather cover remain functional under your typical outdoor conditions.
Pros and cons
Pros: keyless access with a resettable 4-digit code, illuminated dials aid visibility, sturdy metal body with weather cover, designed for permanent installation, includes mounting kit. Cons: the effectiveness hinges on secure mounting and battery life, the medium size may limit the number of keys that can be stored without pressing or bending keys, the system relies on a 4-digit code which, while convenient, may be less flexible than larger digital options for very busy access schedules.
Who it’s for
If you need a robust, weather-protected wall-mounted key storage solution for home, office or light industrial use, and you want quick, keyless access for a handful of trusted people, this model is worth considering. It’s more suited to environments where durable, permanent mounting and visibility in low light are valued over a fully digital multi-user system.
When it may not be the best option
If you require storing a large number of keys, or you need an access system with advanced digital permissions or remote control, this box may feel limiting. Also, if you can’t guarantee a secure mounting surface, or you expect frequent battery-related maintenance in tough outdoor conditions, you might want to weigh alternatives.
Final checks before purchase
- Confirm the interior cavity will fit your intended keys/cards without forced rearrangement.
- Plan for a secure mounting site and ensure the included mounting kit matches your wall type.
- Check that you’re comfortable with a 4-digit code system and a manual reset process.

Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you need a durable, wall-mounted key box with keyless entry and visible illumination for low-light access, and you don’t require complex access control. It suits scenarios with a small to moderate number of authorised users and a need for straightforward, hands-on operation. If your access requirements are more dynamic or you need a higher key capacity, you may want to look at options with larger interiors or digital access features.
