About This Product

The Master Lock 5400EC is a portable lockbox for keys that stores house keys behind a resettable 4-digit combination. The 1 x 1 x 2.5 inch interior fits up to five standard house keys or a small key fob. Setting up takes a moment: enter your own code while the shackle is open, then close it, and reset the code whenever access changes. A solid metal body and protective shutter door shield the dials from rain and dust, making this a practical outdoor key lock box for year-round use. The vinyl-coated shackle opens 1.1 inches wide by 1.69 inches tall and hangs over most ball, biscuit and tulip doorknobs, plus lever handles, gates, fences and rails, installing in seconds without scratching surfaces. Because there are no keys to copy, this key lockbox suits homeowners sharing entry with family, dog walkers or cleaners, Airbnb and vacation rental hosts simplifying guest check-ins, realtors coordinating showings, and caregivers who need dependable emergency access for seniors.

Questions & Answers

What is the default code? The code was exposed and I changed at night with poor ligjt without glasses and the combination does not worked, but I think I left the Reset pin on.

Answer This Question

These lockboxes come directly from manufacturing with a preset combination of 0-0-0-0. One you set your own combination the preset on will not longer work. Unfortunately, there is no master or reset codes available on these locks for security reasons.

              Can the shackle be cut with bolt cutters? Hardened steel?

              Answer This Question

              Unfortunately, any lock can be defeated given the proper tools, time, and force. We manufacture locks as a deterrent to theft, not a guarantee.

                Can the box be removed from the door handle without using the code?
                ByMay 10, 2024
                1 Answer | 
                Answer This Question

                The lever to release the shackle is inside the lockbox. So, you have to be able to open the door using the code to be able to remove the shackle.

                  I’m a realtor and this is my favorite lockbox for contractor access when listing a home. Easy to program and change codes when needed.

                  Burgled!!!
                  Our kids used this key safe after school until a burglar smashed it open one night and burgled our house as my family slept upstairs. It was so disappointing to see how easily and quickly the thin and brittle aluminium casing was breached by the burglar, there is nothing safe about it!

                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The master lock key holding lock box is a good thing to have for a back up set of keys unit is very easy to open and also simple lock pin change. Highly recommend for a hide a key or just a good locked spot for keys.

                        Poor mechanism and very limited space
                        The most annoying issue is that this lock will open even if you miss two of the four digits on the combination, e.g it comes preset at 0000; if you set it to 1010, it still opens with 0000. It also has much less space than it looks from the outside. It doesn't fit a safety door key like CISA, because the mechanism takes almost half of the storage space when the door closes and hits on the key; as a result the door doesn't close.

                          Held up to burning and prying
                          Did everything it was supposed to. Guy tried hard to break in to get the key but it held strong. I'm a happy customer.

                            A Decent Lock Box
                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently got the Master Lock No. 5400D Portable Lock Box for use when we’re out of town and a house sitter needs access to the home. We usually just give keys to our house sitters. But, I figure this approach, i.e., the key is always at the house, hanging on the door, vs. potentially getting lost in someone’s home (which happened in the past) is better. The lockbox is typical of those you’d see realtors using. It’s fairly large, to provide more storage room. The exterior measures 6.25 H x 3.25 W x 1.5 D. The interior compartment measures 1 H x 2&13/32 W x 1 D. The interior compartment is sized generously enough to fit 5 (possibly more) standard-sized house keys (keys with no oversized/padded key grippers) and/or a few access cards, depending on your use case. Obviously, larger keys and/or keys with oversized/padded grip areas will mean fewer keys inside the storage compartment. The lockbox shackle (which will fit over most exterior door knobs and/or handles) is 1&13/32 L x 1&7/8 W x 13/32 Diameter. Realistically, the lockbox only serves as a theft deterrent and a convenience for those that know the combination. While “beefy,” it is not impenetrable. But, if someone really wants to get inside your home, they’ll find a way… key or no key. Inside the packaging you get the lockbox and easy-to-follow instructions. The lockbox is so easy to use that, short of the default combination needed to get into the storage compartment, which is already set out of the box… allowing you simply to open the housing, the instructions aren’t needed. However, if you do need the instructions, they’re well written and there for you. The lockbox housing is a sturdy metal with a vinyl coating, the latter to prevent scratching your door, door knob, etc. While I appreciate the coating, I know from experience with this coating that, over the years, the coating disintegrates and gets tacky (especially when continually exposed to the elements). The change takes a while, but it does occur. The four-digit combination pad is protected by a cover that slides up and down. The cover seems to stay in place (when covering the digit rollers) via friction… i.e., the pad slides up/over the rollers and you can “feel” the pad’s resistance as it slides over the roller area. This makes me wonder how long the friction will last and keep the cover securely over the rollers. Still, it’s a nice addition that adds an extra layer of protection for the rollers and the lock’s gears. The thumb-slip opener to the left of the rollers (used to open the faceplate and expose the storage compartment) is fairly easy to use once you input the correct digit combo. After engaging the opener, the faceplate falls forward easily and gives you access (both via slide mechanisms… the first next to the digit rollers, but on the reverse side… the next, next to the shackle at the top-right of the lock housing to, respectively, a) reset the four digit combination and b) open the lockbox shackle. Master Lock also built a safety mechanism into the lock that doesn’t let you close the faceplate without the shackle being first being fully inserted into the lockbox housing. Some might ask, “why?” I think it’s ingenious, as it protects the shackle and/or anything else from being damaged by the pointier side of the shackle. More importantly, it lessens the chance of you forgetting to fully engage the shackle in the lock’s housing… making sure that your keys are stored safely in a fully-locked lockbox. It must be said that, while well made, this lock box is not waterproof and is not made of water-resistant/rust-resistant materials. Because of this, the lock box is best used under an awning and/or hung on a door knob, etc. protected by a storm door or some other means of cover. If exposed to the elements long-term, and if not properly greased on occasion, to add a layer of protection/keep gears working as well as possible, the metal innards, and depending on the metal out of which your keys are made (and how long they sit in the box exposed to the elements) will rust. For my use case, i.e., placed on our exterior front-door doorknob, protected by a storm door, the lock will be protected and will serve us well, for a long time to come. So, worth purchasing? Absolutely. The Master Lock No. 5400D Portable Lock Box isn’t perfect. But, when cared for and used/stored properly, the lockbox definitely meets my needs and is an excellent solution to lessen the need to share house keys with house sitters and others. It’s built well, is easy to use, and is a solid four-star purchase all the way. So, if I like it… why not five stars? Five stars goes above and beyond what the manufacturer says a product will do. The Master Lock No. 5400D Portable Lock Box ticks all my boxes and meets my needs. It isn’t out saving kittens from trees. So, a solid four stars it is (which is great in my book). If looking for a lockbox to protect your keys/access cards, etc… while providing added convenience to those that need to enter your home, apartment, and so on… definitely consider the Master Lock No. 5400D Portable Lock Box. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
