The Modern Key Safe – Without a Key
Secure keys, room cards & valuables with flexible PIN code instead of physical safe key
WardHUB: The Smart Alternative to Traditional Key Safes
Traditional key safes have a fundamental problem: they require a physical key to open. This safe key must be passed on, hidden, or stored – exactly the problem the safe was supposed to solve.
The WardHUB is an electronic key safe with PIN code access. No physical key, no mechanical weak points, no passing on of metal keys. Instead: flexible PIN codes that can be shared via SMS, email, or verbally.
With Public Mode, the code is automatically reset after each use – ideal for changing users in hotels, holiday apartments, or companies. In Private Mode, the code remains permanently stored until you want to change it. The master code allows staff access at any time, even if user codes are forgotten.

Advantages Over Traditional Key Safes
No Safe Key Required
The biggest problem of traditional key safes is eliminated: you don't need a physical key to open. PIN codes can be shared via SMS, email, or verbally – without physical contact, without postal delivery, without key hiding.
Flexible Code Management
Codes can be changed at any time. When employees change, after guest departure, or with security concerns, simply assign a new code. With traditional safes, you would have to change the mechanical code or replace the safe.
Public Mode for Changing Users
Ideal for hotels, holiday apartments, or auto repair shops: each guest/customer receives an individual code that is automatically reset after use. No manual resetting, no security gaps through multiple use.
Master Code Function
Staff or owners have access at any time via master code – even if the user code is forgotten. With traditional safes, the safe would have to be broken open.
Weatherproof for Outdoor Installation
The IP65-protected lock enables installation outdoors – in front of hotels, holiday apartments, or workshops. Traditional mechanical locks rust or freeze.
Frequently Asked Questions About Key Safes
Why is an electronic key safe better than a traditional one?
The decisive advantage: you don't need a physical safe key. Traditional key safes have a paradox – the key to the safe must be securely stored, just like the keys IN the safe. With PIN code access, this problem is completely eliminated.
What happens when the battery is empty?
The WardHUB can be powered via USB-C with a power bank or charger. The stored code is retained. With traditional mechanical key safes, the safe would have to be broken open.
Is a PIN code more secure than a mechanical key?
Yes, for several reasons: PIN codes can be changed at any time, the fake PIN function protects against spying, and there are no mechanical weak points like pick-locks or duplicate keys. Additionally, the code cannot be lost or stolen.
Can the WardHUB be mounted outdoors?
Yes, the electronic lock is IP65-certified and thus protected against dust and water jets. Perfect for installation in front of hotels, holiday apartments, or workshop entrances. The housing made of 2mm hardened steel is also weatherproof powder-coated.
How many keys fit in the WardHUB?
The WardHUB has an internal volume of approximately 1 liter and offers space for several key bunches, room cards, car keys, or smartphones. The exact number depends on the size of the keys – typically 5-10 key bunches without problems.
Is the WardHUB suitable for commercial use?
Absolutely. The WardHUB was specifically developed for commercial applications: hotels, holiday apartments, companies, auto repair shops, branch operations. The Public Mode function, the master code, and the robust construction (2mm hardened steel) are ideal for professional continuous use.
