Master Lock 5422E
Score: 65/100Rankings
The Kidde AccessPoint 001170 is a compact, slimline key lock box designed for permanent wall mounting with a focus on durability. Its double-wall metal construction offers robust protection, though it is limited to storing just two keys. It is best suited for households needing discreet, semi-permanent access control for family or service providers.
The Master Lock 5422E is a portable, push-button key lock box designed for quick, tool-free installation on door knobs. While it offers excellent usability with its touch interface and weather protection, it suffers from a critical security vulnerability where the lock can be decoded. It is best suited for low-risk, temporary access scenarios where convenience outweighs high-security needs.
