Rudy RUN Lock Box
Score: 78/100Rankings
The Master Lock 5400EC is a versatile, portable key safe that offers reliable mechanical security for up to five standard keys. Its primary trade-off is the vulnerability of its shackle to cutting tools and limited capacity for bulky items. It is best suited for realtors and homeowners needing temporary, flexible access solutions.
The Rudy RUN Key Lock Box is a wall-mountable outdoor combination lockbox designed for securely storing up to five keys. It features a resettable 4-digit combination and waterproof construction, making it a robust and affordable alternative to portable models. It is best suited for homeowners and realtors who prefer a fixed, weatherproof installation over portable options.
