Hi everyone,

A couple of months ago, the board received an inquiry about whether it’s acceptable to attach a key box to the bicycle racks. Since the answer may be relevant for others who need to share keys (e.g. for Airbnb), I’m sharing it here:

We would like to strongly encourage residents not to place key boxes on the bicycle racks or in other publicly accessible areas.

There are two main reasons for this:

• Some insurance companies require key boxes to be hidden from view. If not, coverage may be void.
• The quality of key boxes varies. If one is broken into, a key to the main entrance could provide access to all common areas (including the basement, all three stairwells, and the waste and electricity meter room).

Instead, we recommend using a more secure solution for key sharing – such as a Sharebox.

There is a Sharebox available at the local 7-Eleven on Njalsgade.

Best regards,
Tobias
