David Smith, business development manager for The Key Safe Company, commented: “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do at The Key Safe Company and we’re dedicated to going the extra mile to ensure using our services is as easy as possible. We are delighted that we have been able to extend our custom- er service offering, which makes installing a key safe even easier. “These sessions have been designed to be a collaborative effort with the installers. Many customers who are used to fitting the products like to come along to make sure they are doing it correctly, while some companies use the service for training their new starters. The sessions have been well received by local police forces, as the more key safes installed correctly the less chance they can be compromised.” experience ‘ of practical fitting the key safe ’ Throughout the training course customers will learn about the Supra C500 KeySafe TM ’s unique features, the dos and don’ts for installing them correctly and get hands-on practical experience of fitting the key safe.

The installer programme has helped the WDH team install their P500 and C500 KeySafesTM to allow caregivers unre- stricted access at any time of the day to their tenants. Alana Stanley, senior pest control officer for WDH, arranged the training for herself and eight team members from the Repairs and Maintenance service. She comment- ed: “We’ve always had two dedicated members of the team who have carried out all our key safe installations, but as we’re seeing more of a need for care at home we wanted other members of the team to understand how to install them correctly too. “Most requests for a key safe are when a tenant has been discharged from hos- pital and one has been recommended. By having a bank of trained employees it means we can act quickly and efficiently when needed.” The half-day training sessions highlight how to correctly and securely fit a key safe to ensure it can’t be compromised. Each session is offered on site and the hands-on training ensures the trainees become fully confident in installation in order to ensure maximum satisfaction for the end-users. Alana continued: “The training was re- ally worthwhile even for more experienced team members to be able to refresh their skills and get answers to queries about the product.”
