Key Storage: Lockboxes and Cabinets to Stop Losing Keys
Losing keys is a solvable problem, and a lockbox or key cabinet solves it without turning your life into a scavenger hunt. For a shared entry, a combination lockbox lets you hand out a code instead of cutting copies. For a workshop or office, a wall cabinet keeps a labeled set organized and out of sight.
Look at capacity, whether it mounts where you need it, and how the box resists a casual grab. These are convenience-and-organization tools first; treat the code like you would a house key and change it when the people who know it change.

Master Lock Box Combination Dial Portable, Body Width: 3-3/4" (83mm), Shackle Length: 1-13/32" (36mm), Shackle Width: 1-7/8" (48mm), Shackle Diameter: 13/32" (10mm)

The feed lists body width 3-3/4" (83mm); shackle length 1-13/32" (36mm); shackle width 1-7/8" (48mm). With no key to lose you also have no key to fall back on, so commit the code to memory before you rely on it.
