Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The KeySafe C500 Pro is a fully mechanical, wall-mounted key safe and the third entry in this guide. At £68.95 it is the most expensive box on the list, and it is rated 4.6 out of 5 from 1,502 ratings. The listing copy leans on the Secured by Design police-preferred specification, an A5 security rating and a single-piece hardened zinc alloy body — a different pitch from the plastic boxes further down the page.
What the page does not settle is water. The bullets say the C500 Pro is "rust and water resistant", tested between -32°C and 68°C, with a weather-resistant ABS cover, and "designed to be wall mounted outdoors". The spec panel on the same listing gives the Water Resistance Level as "Not Water Resistant". Both lines sit on the same product page. Capacity gets the same treatment: the bullets promise space for up to 6 keys, the spec table's Capacity field reads "6 load", and the only measurements offered are exterior — 6.3 cm deep, 8.1 cm wide, 14.9 cm high. There is no internal figure to check against. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from any test we ran.
