Keybox

A keybox is the small combination-locked box mounted beside a front door that holds a spare key, or a code, so a cleaner can get into a flat with nobody home to let them in. It is how a turnover happens on a short let where the host is often not even on the island.

Why access has to be solved this way

Ordinary domestic cleaning assumes someone is usually home, or at least reachable to let a cleaner in. A short let does not have that luxury: guests come and go on their own schedule, and a host running several flats cannot be at each door for every turnover. A keybox with a code recorded once against the property solves this without anyone having to be physically present.

What makes a keybox code safe to rely on

A code is only as good as how it is handled afterwards. It should be changeable the moment there is any reason to think it has been compromised, and it should never be written down anywhere a stranger could find it, including inside the flat itself. Treated properly, it is one of the most sensitive pieces of information in the whole operation, on the same level as the keys it protects.

Conclusion

A keybox is what lets a turnover happen without anyone standing at the door to let a cleaner in, and it is only as secure as the discipline around the code inside it. See the full price list and coverage areas for how access is handled on every clean.
