The 10 Best Key Cabinets

The AdirOffice Digital (around $76) is sleek and professional-looking, and its 9-digit lock is serious enough to deter would-be thieves. You can set your PIN code to be anywhere from 3 to 8 numbers long, so your security will be as formidable as your memory.

This model from the S.P. Richards Company (around $30) has room for up to 60 keys, holding them both inside the cabinet and on its door. There's plenty of space for each one to dangle, so you should be able to find the right one quickly, even when it's completely full.

The Luditek Organizer (appx. $23) is smaller than many other options, but that means you won't have to sacrifice an entire wall to an ugly box. Of course, due to its diminutive stature, you probably won't fit 48 keys in here, as promised, but it works great for about half that.

You can fit up to 28 keys inside the First Alert 3060F (appx. $28), making it ideal for catered parties at country homes, but maybe a little small for professional valet companies. Each ring comes with labeling tags, so you can keep track of which key goes with which car or lock.

The Acrimet Organizer (appx. $109) is a little different from its heavy, all-steel brethren in that it's actually made of high-quality MDF wood. That's wonderful when you're hanging it on the wall or lugging it around, but don't expect it to offer much resistance to a break-in.

The racks on the Barska 64 (about $65) can be moved and adjusted to your liking, so while it holds a maximum of 64 keys, it can be reconfigured to store less if you need more room. The shelves are all labeled and numbered, so you won't get confused regardless of how they're set up.

This selection from Honeywell Safes & Door Locks (around $27) is a smart choice for the budget-conscious, since it's a relatively inexpensive option, but it's not ideal for those who value performance above all else, as the labels peel off easily and it gets pretty crowded inside.

Made of 16-gauge steel, the Kidde AccessPoint TouchPoint (about $52) uses a resettable combination lock, so there's one less key you need to keep track of. Unfortunately, if that lock fails — and it occasionally does — you're going to have a devil of a time getting back into the box.

The Barska 200 (around $160) is worth considering for anyone who has an enormous number of units to keep track of, but it works better in theory than in practice. It can hold 200 keys, true, and hold them comfortably — but door jams happen with annoying frequency.

The BuyASafe B1120 (about $82) sports a rugged aluminum frame with hardboard on the front and back panels. It's not as sturdy as it looks, so don't expect it to protect anything inside. However, if all you're looking for is an organizational tool, this can certainly do the trick.
