Milockie Hotel Safe Lock- A Tamper Evident and Secondary Lock for Safes

Product Information

These types of hotel room safes require the use of an override *sequence*, not just a PIN number. This type of safe is almost as good as the one previously mentioned, as it contains a removable chip, which can access all the same data as above. Electronic Keypad Access With Manual Safety Key the hotel manager has a master code for all the safes of the hotel that he and he alone can program or erase it; Some hotel safes are not designed to be used in a hotel with many guests. The hotel manager or owner didn’t know or care to buy proper hotel safes. That is to say, you have the master code to program your combination yourself which is a bit tedious. Use the do not disturb sign whether you are inside or outside of your room. This sign is extremely useful as will thieves and burglaries the impression that someone is in the room.

This is a very old room safe model and is becoming rarer as time passes as hotels remodel and replace them with newer electronic versions. Yes, they do have spare keys, but reputable hotels don’t keep them accessible – even to management. It’s often kept in a fire-safe with either the general cashier or hotel management – we would hope – but many times who knows where this key is and who has access to it? Where Do Hotel Room Safe Thefts Occur? Changing the override code is the responsibility of the hotel. However, in reality, this practice is overlooked.

Where Do Hotel Room Safe Thefts Occur?

Front Door: This is the most common format for the installation of safes in hotels. A side hinge holds the hotel safe door which is opened both in standard opening format and with a 110° wide opening. The option of opening the hotel safe at an angle of 110° minimises the risk of damaging larger belongings, such as a laptop computer, on inserting and removing them from the safe. You dial the code and forget to press enter or open (not all safes just open after dialing the code) However, some hotels do take the time and reset the master code of their safes, and you will have to ask for somebody to come and open your safe by resetting the code. At which point you should be asked to provide information proving this is your room. Remember Your Code: Remembering the code you’ve set is crucial, as you’ll need it to reopen the safe. If you’re worried about forgetting, consider writing it down somewhere secure or using a number that’s significant to you.

Higher specification hotel safes will have the facility to have an audit trail, this offers peace of mind to the hotel staff and the guests because if anything were to go missing it would be traceable to who opened the safe. They will also have a more robust keypad and higher quality powder coating to give a better final finish so it does not detract from the room quality. Our range of hotel safe consists of 5 electronic systems, 3 opening formats and 7 sizes, adaptable to all types of facilities and hotel furniture. Hotel Safe Electronic Systems Safeguard M-Plus represents polyvalence in terms of hotel safes, and provides the balance of safety, features and convenience most demanded by hotel safe users. Do NOT set your code after using a moisturizing cream on your face and hands… Think about the greasy finger method! How to secure a Hotel Safe Guests should not feel awkward asking at the hotel’s reception for somebody to come and take a look at their safe. This is the right way to go about it.

Nationwide Security

Manual Key Override: Some safes might also have a manual key override. The hotel usually retains these keys, which are used when guests forget their codes or if there’s a malfunction with the safe.

These room safes are not as secure as the previous two. This style requires the moving of the safe to enter a key and entering an override code. They record the time and date of the override entry, but nothing else. Refer below as to who *should* hold the spare key. Manual Key Safe With Safety Key Access Some safes are really simple to use: the code you dial is the code you will open the safe with, only one time: it’s single use. You should always try this with the door open the first time. Master code: The most common way hotel staff will reset the code of your hotel safe is by using the master code.

Safes for Hotels and Offices

Sliding Drawer: Opening the hotel safe by means of a sliding, pull-out container, in the same way that a drawer is opened. Once the hotel safe is opened, the front door and the safe box container move horizontally for the hotel guest to deposit the belongings to be guarded. This hotel safe format enjoys great popularity in hotel chains that install the safe in desks and in the lower part of auxiliary furniture. Free UK mainland delivery is included on all hotel safes and we can also provide hotel fridges if required.

The entry of the key is hidden behind a plastic panel;

If you forget your code for your hotel safe, you should speak with the hotel staff at the reception, letting them know that you have forgotten or lost your code and would need somebody to come and reset it. It is rarely the case that you are given the key to your safe with the key to your room. It has happened to me a couple of times, though. In that case, the key to the safe is put in a ring with the key to your room and the only thing to do is to make sure not to lose them both. If you want to use the safe, ask for the key. You might have to give a deposit. The hotel manager has spares, just in case. But let’s move forward. Electronic or mechanical combination Hotels might decide their clients need laptop sized safes if they mainly have business customers whereas smaller hotels might prefer to go with smaller sized safes which would be suited for smaller items such as camera’s, iPods, passports, cash and keys. You have to dial the master code, press set or ok, dial your chosen code, press ok again, and dial your code a last time to confirm. In that case, the manager has a master key. It is not intuitive, yes, but more importantly, it is less safe or not safe at all. You never know who has the master code you were given. How to reset the code on a hotel safeHotel guests do forget their hotel safes codes. This is normal. If a hotel guest forgets their safe code, they should understand that the hotel staff normally do have a way of opening the hotel safe.
