I am having a major problem trying to find a (preferably) weatherproof box that can be locked with a combination lock to hold approximately 10 sets of car keys.

I don't want to spend hundreds of pounds, more like £20-£50. It's not going to be in full view of the general public and only three or four people will need access to it. It needs to have a combination lock so that we are not passing keys about. The idea is to put various keys into this box and the driver can deposit/pick up their keys 24/7 - providing they have the combination!

Can anyone help?

Something like this

It may need a little help with waterproofing if you are going to leave it completely exposed to the elements though.

Those won't hold 10 sets of keys though will they?

Slightly over budget, but something like this: http://www.insight-direct.co.uk/DotNetShop/Product...

They would if you bought ten of them!

I missed that bit of the brief.

Could you not get a normal key storage cabinet and mount it inside a gas meter box?

Weather proof and stealthy.

How about using one of those one key ones to hold the key for a normal lock box next to it?

Not a bad plan!

Coupled with the meter box idea, we might be onto something.

Thanks all.
