In an earlier page, 'Improvements', mention was made of the fact that even the best modern safes can be subjected to covert or surreptitious attack by means of false keys or lock manipulation, and the associated fact that in such circumstances, suspicion immediately falls on the legitimate keyholder. This is not perfect of course as the safe could be locked with the door open. At one time it was normal to fit locks which were key retaining - in other words the key could not be removed unless the safe was locked, and the same facility can still be provided today on special request. Nor should it ever be left in the keyway unattended. It should go without saying that the safe key should never be out of the personal possession of it's rightful custodian. Safes are not perfect but failure to ensure that the key* is never handled or even scrutinised by other than the lawful holder can nullify the safemakers best efforts. No matter how sophisticated the design of a safe or strongroom door, the security features all reduce to one element, the key*.
