Unichefry wall mounted key safe with waterproof cover and high-security combination lock
Product description
If you’ve ever fumbled for keys at the door, you’ll know how quickly “just one more second” turns into a problem. A wall mounted key safe is the simple fix for situations like sharing access with family, letting a tradesperson in, or keeping a spare set out of sight. This Unichefry key box is designed around a combination lock and a weather cover, so it’s meant to handle everyday outdoor use better than an open-style cabinet.
That said, it’s not for everyone. If you’re looking for biometric access, app control, or any kind of smart integration, you won’t find that here. It’s a mechanical, combination-based approach—straightforward and practical, but you’ll want to manage the code sensibly.
The essentials: what it is and why people buy it
This is a wall mounted key box intended to store keys (and it also mentions accommodating cards), using a combination lock. The headline idea is that you can set a password, then change it as needed to manage who can access the keys. Over the long run, that’s the core benefit: you’re not tied to a single fixed key holder forever, and you can update access when circumstances change.
It also includes a weather cover to help protect the lock box from the elements. In the UK, that kind of “at least it’s shielded” matters, because an exposed key safe can get grim pretty quickly.
Key capacity and the combination lock approach
The description points to 12 case slots inside, with “thousands of combination options”. In plain terms, you get plenty of internal space for multiple keys, and the code method is meant to give you flexibility.
One practical detail: because you’re using a combination, the manufacturer suggests writing the password down in a notebook or taking a photo in case you forget. That’s a small instruction, but it’s also a bit of a reality check—if you lose the code, you may end up locked out of your own spare keys.
Where it stands out in use
A wall mounted key safe is at its best when it’s part of your routine:
- You can prepare access for a family member or neighbour without leaving keys in the open.
- You can reduce the back-and-forth when someone needs temporary entry (for example, a cleaner, gardener, or handyman).
- You can keep a spare set organised so you’re not “hunting” for a backup key when it’s most inconvenient.
The “roomy space” claim suggests it’s intended for more than a single key, rather than a tiny, one-key only box. If you’re the type who needs to store a few spares (or a card alongside them), that makes it feel more usable.
Weather cover and build: what you can reasonably expect
It’s constructed from zinc alloy, and it includes a weather cover. On paper, that combination is built for durability and outdoor exposure. The lock is described as a combination lock for long-lasting performance, and the cover is there to protect from elements.
Do note the limits: the description doesn’t specify water resistance ratings, so while the “waterproof cover” wording is encouraging, you still shouldn’t treat it like something designed for submersion. If your goal is coastal-level exposure or constant heavy rain beating directly onto the unit, it’s worth thinking carefully about where you mount it.
Installation and mounting realities
The kit includes 4 screws and 4 expansion plugs. That points to a relatively straightforward wall mounting setup—handy if you already plan to fix it to brick or masonry.
If you’re not sure what your wall is made of (brick, plasterboard, render, etc.), it’s worth double-checking before you start. A wall mounted safe can be easy to install, but the wrong fixings or location can turn the job into a headache.
Who it suits, and who should look elsewhere
It’s a solid match if you want:
- a practical key cabinet for outdoor or garage/entry use
- combination access you can change over time
- a weather cover to help protect the lock area
- a wall mounted setup with included fixings
It might not be the best choice if you:
- need smart features (app, remote unlocking, fingerprint, etc.)
- struggle to keep track of codes, or you’re wary of relying on a password
- plan to mount it in an exposed spot where you expect constant severe weather without any shelter
Compared with simpler, cheaper key boxes, this at least leans into security via a combination approach and uses a covered design. Compared with premium smart safes, you’re trading convenience (and extra features) for a more basic, robust solution.

Is it worth it?
Worth buying if you want an outdoor-ready wall mounted key safe that uses a combination you can change, with a covered design for day-to-day weather exposure. It’s also a reasonable pick if you need to store more than one spare and you’re happy to follow the “write down the password” advice to avoid lockout.
You may want to skip it if you need modern smart access or you’re not comfortable managing a combination code long term. And if your mounting location is extremely exposed, keep in mind that the information provided doesn’t mention specific water resistance ratings.
