The key safe can only be opened using a unique four digit code that you set.
Share the key safe code with your friends, family or neighbours. If you share the code with Taking Care, the Emergency Resolution team will only pass it onto the emergency services if you are unable to get to the door.
The emergency services will then be able to quickly gain access to your home without delay and without causing damage.
