I thought about this but wondered if this might actually be more unsafe in some ways:
ie: If a burgler enters the house, and sees a small safe / key safe and targets it - managing to get in - he gets all the safe keys. From cracking one, he now has access to all other safes, as opposed to having to try and crack / break each safe.
Thus all the safes end up being only as secure as the weakest link...
I came across this when I was thinking of doing something similar. (A number of safes that unlock each other revealing another key, etc) but realised that as soon as one safe is cracked, they have access to the lot.
Maybe having a key lock safe inside another safe might make it more secure. Or alternatively if the safe with the keys in it is in a very good hiding place, and unlikely to be found. Yet it seems that safe kesy that can be taken away from the property or hidden in much smaller / harder to locate places may be safer?
Or maybe I'm being paranoid but I was told its not paranoia if they're really after you!
