If the bank DOES keep spare keys then you DON'T want to rent there.


I feel stupid now, but I never thought of this before... My wife and I both have keys to our safe deposit box. We didn't have to do anything special. They just handed each of us a key when we opened the account, so they probably have 2 keys for every box in their safe, whether the owners need 2 or not. I wonder if they have more than 2...

If you have a safe in your house you can get robbed just as easy as someone could force you to go to the bank and retrieve your valuables from a box. The key to not being robbed is making sure no one knows what you have.
It's not theft I fear as much as fire. Most home safes are shabby and fireproof for maybe half an hour. The key to safe storage is to diversify locations.

You're exactly right about diversifying.

Also,

If you loose one key and go into the bank there is no need to drill the lock.
When your new keys are ready to pick up make sure you go pick them up.

The box I left my stuff in has two keys. No extras.

After the events that unfolded two weeks ago I went into the bank on Tuesday.
I was unavailable to be contacted as I was on a vacation.
The trouble that was started was extreme.
This bank knows me by the huge number of penny's and nickels I've picked up there over the last year.
All the steps to ensuring this would not happen were not followed.
The highest up was at lunch so I waited to see him. I was asked if they could help in the meantime and I said no.
My lease is no charge.
Really stirred them up with facts of what went on.
ALL my banking has been free with this bank for a long time so I hate to switch.
No fees on anything, at all, including SDB in this case.

The extra keys were a business through lack of communication left their keys after one was lost and two new ones were made with a new lock.

The lease agreement was not checked to be already rented because of the keys.

The sign in card again was not checked.

The box was NOT checked to be empty before I rented it.

The bank is responsible for an error of this type and large chunks of brown stuff hit the air supply in the week I was gone.

Most public schools in the US have one set of Master Keys. The principal usually has them. A few yrs ago the same school's principal lost the set of Master Keys TWICE within a few yrs. A very costly mistake.
