I wanted to share with everyone a product that I just received that may be beneficial to others. After my fall on Saturday evening, the paramedics strongly recommended that I get myself a key lock box so that if anything like this happens again they'll be able to access a spare key. I found one that's completely accessible with push buttons and tactile markings that make it possible to set or change the combination whenever. This is the Master Lock 5422D push button portable key safe. The videos, at least on the Amazon Canada site were extremely helpful and gave me the information I needed to set it up and put it on my door. This hangs from the doorknob, so no screws have to be placed in the walls. Once you open the weather protector on the front you'll find a large button at the top which will slide down to open or close. At the bottom is another smaller slide switch which is your reset button. In the middle, of course, is a 12-button keypad, and all numbers and symbols can be used in your combination. When you first get the lock there's no combination entered, so push down on the slider at the top to open the lock. On the back of the place where the buttons are, you'll feel twelve little switches corresponding to each button on the keypad. If you feel closely, you'll find that there is a tactile arrow on each switch. They are all pointing upward. Take a small tool or flat-head screwdriver and fit it into each of the switches and turn it 180 degrees until the arrow points down. It takes a little bit of doing, but it will work. Do this for each number you want in your PIN. At the top on the inside of the compartment is a little switch. Slide this and pull up on the hasp at the top. This is where you'll attach it to your doorknob. Close the button panel and enter your PIN. This must be done to lock and unlock. After entering the numbers, (and you can do them in any order, so if your number is 1 2 3 4, you could enter 2 1 4 3. As long as all the numbers are entered it will open. If you enter the wrong number, clear it with the switch at the bottom and try again. Push down on the button used to open the box and the lid should snap into place. Close up the weather flap and it's set. Place the hasp over your doorknob and snap it into place, and you've got yourself a very sturdy lock box for a spare key or two. This is the basics, and I'm very happy with my purchase. The Amazon link is below, but to view it in your country, change the dot ca to dot com, dot co.uk, etc. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00BOSMLGS?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp&th=1

@technolass Thank you so much. I am definitely going to get one of these.

@technolass Clever, and certainly saves a lot of time in an emergency, which could save one's life, plus not having one's door kicked in. Clearly, paramedics will need to be advised of the PIN to unlock the lockbox, so I'd imagine that would have to be made available to all emergency services ahead of the hopefully unrequired use? Otherwise, its pretty useless. So hopefully that is something that Emergency Services across the country will provide protocol for. To allow this information to be stored and retrieved as needed ahead of, and during an emergency. If one cannot speak or text on a 911 call, but are capable of initiating said communications, having the PIN readily available as soon as one's phone/address comes up on an operators screen would be critical.

@adam@adamm.cc I think they actually have a way to break into the boxes. I don't know exactly how that works, but that's kind of what I understood them to say. -

@technolass Well, that would certainly make sense. I do hope that part of the system is thoroughly vetted, tested, and tripple assured that it works. If I may offer one piece of advice, simply out of concern, is to please call the company who makes this device, and get in clear writing how this system is supposed to work, when it comes to communicating the fact that the lockbox exists, and how to access it. Also, please check with your city's emergency services department how they handle their side of ensuring all necessary parties are informed of this critical information in a very timely and efficient manner. It just concerns me as if it were a data backup solution, but the backups were never tested.

@adam@adamm.cc Oh, several people in my building have similar things so i'm sure they're tested, but I definitely do want to know how it works. -

@technolass I wish you well in this endeavour. It sounds like a really good idea, in theory. I hope you won't need it, and if you do, I hope it works.

@technolass I'm glad you got something that helps you with that! Are you all right otherwise?

@technolass I don't need one immediatley but having an accessible option is pretty rare so I am going to get me one of these. thanks for the tips.

@technolass Yeah but wouldn't someone else try to get in? I know the medics would but I fear someone else could. That is a great idea.
