KeyForMe. Real freedom in Key Exchange.
A KeyForMe Cabinet is a highly secured cabinet where your keys are locked away, alarm protected and not accessible for others until you invite them remotely.
The KeyForMe system is designed as a remote secure key exchange management system for individuals and organizations who need highest security and designated availability. Increased security is offered through the use of a double lock access system.
Through the coding of the intelligent KeyForMe plugs and individual key locking, you give remotely authorisation to your keys on a “per key” basis.
Light-emitting diodes show which KeyForMe plug has been personally authorised for the specified user. The authorization of keys is time-dependently programmable for individual users, so you can manage remotely who and when you want to give access to your keys in the KeyForMe Cabinet.
All KeyForMe plugs stored in the system are individually locked and alarm protected.
The KeyForMe Cabinets are made from high quality solid steel, alarm protected and uncomparable with any other similar system. If you want the highest protection for your keys available… choose KeyForMe.
Above image gives you an impression of a KeyForMe cabinet. Exact design and size can vary per KeyForMe location.
A KeyForMe plug is made from stainless steel and is included with a steel key ring so it acts as a key chain where you can attach your keys. After that, you can insert you KeyForMe plug at the position where a blue light-emitting diode is visible in the KeyForMe Cabinet. Your KeyForMe plug will be locked.
Close the door of the KeyForMe cabinet and give remotely access to others via your KeyForMe dashboard. Easy, simple and secure.
Your ‘ready to use’ KeyForMe plug is already waiting for you in one of our secured KeyForMe cabinets. Once you have registered you’ll receive instantly an e-mail with a personal PIN. You can access now your pre-selected KeyForMe cabinet to add your key(s) easily to the KeyForMe plug. Ready? Invite others to pick up your key(s) right away.
Account & Billing
Pricing is simple and no long-term contracts. For just € 14,95 / month (including VAT) per key, you can invite an unlimited number of people to pick up and drop off your keys.
Please always check the opening hours of the specific KeyForMe location. For security reasons we always install KeyForMe cabinets inside venues.
You can manage as many keys as you would like with KeyForMe.
Pricing is on a per KeyForMe fob basis.
This means that you can add multiple keys (limited to 3) to 1 KeyForMe fob. For example, you can add 1 key of your front door and 1 key of your garage on 1 KeyForMe fob. You will pay only for 1 KeyForMe fob.
Do you need more KeyForMe fobs? Because e.g. you want to manage access to multiple properties to multiple people, then select extra Keys (=KeyForMe fobs) in your KeyForMe dashboard and each one in your account will be billed on your key plan.
For example: if you need 2 seperate positions in the KeyForMe cabinet, then you are billed € 14,95 (including VAT) per month for each KeyForMe fob. In this example you will pay 2 x € 14,95 = € 29,90 (including VAT) in total per month as long as you use the service.
Do you want to reduce or expand the number of KeyForMe fobs? Manage it simply via your KeyForMe online dashboard.

In the e-mail notification instructions they can read where and how to pick up and return your keys.

Please note that if your selected KeyForMe location is not open during pick up or drop off, you have to make arrangements yourself.
KeyForMe is not liable and not responsible for the opening hours of the KeyForMe locations as we don’t operate these venues ourself.
Always check with the staff and the website of the venue in advance if you want to offer the KeyForMe service to any person who you want to give access to your key(s).
