FK Surf Deluxe Keysafe - 4-Dial Combination with RFID Signal-Blocking Wallet
The FK Surf Deluxe Keysafe is a portable combination key safe designed for surfers, beach-goers, and outdoor enthusiasts who need to secure their car keys while away from their vehicle. The hardened aluminium body houses a 4-dial combination lock with 10,000 possible code combinations, and a steel shackle allows the unit to be attached to a vehicle's tow point, tow bar, roof rack, or any fixed anchor point.
This Deluxe version includes an RFID signal-blocking wallet for storing modern car keys, smart fobs, and remote entry devices. Unlike foil-lined bags that only reduce signal strength, the wallet is designed to fully block the radio frequency signal your car fob transmits - preventing relay attacks where thieves amplify the signal from your keysafe to unlock and start your vehicle while you surf.
The keysafe body is foam-backed where it contacts the vehicle to prevent paint and panel damage. The internal storage compartment is large enough to hold most car key fobs without requiring the mechanical key to be separated from the remote, making it practical for everyday use.

- Includes RFID signal-blocking wallet - designed to fully block fob radio signals, not merely reduce them.
- Suitable for beach and coastal environments - rinse with fresh water after use and apply a light lubricant to the combination dials to prevent salt buildup.
- Bonus LED torch and bottle opener keychain included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the compartment fit a full car key fob?
Yes. The internal storage area (70mm x 75mm x 35mm, with an additional 50mm x 15mm section) accommodates most modern push-button and flip-key car fobs without needing to detach the mechanical key. If your fob is unusually large, measure it against the compartment dimensions before ordering. The Deluxe compartment is 6mm deeper than the Standard (35mm vs 29mm), which makes the difference for many bulkier fobs.

Is the RFID wallet a true signal blocker or just a foil bag?
The included wallet is a purpose-built signal-blocking pouch. Standard foil-lined bags reduce the radio frequency signal your fob transmits but do not fully stop it. The FK Surf wallet is designed to completely block the signal. Before relying on it, FK Surf recommends testing: with the key inside the correctly closed wallet, your car should not start. Even a small gap in the velcro closure can allow signal to escape.

Can I attach this to a tow point on a 4WD?
Yes. The steel shackle is sized for standard tow points, tow bars, and similar metal anchor points. FK Surf advises hiding the keysafe from view on the vehicle rather than leaving it visible. A keysafe in plain sight significantly increases the likelihood of a break-in attempt.

How do I maintain the combination dials after beach use?
After any beach or saltwater session, rinse the entire keysafe - particularly the combination dials - with fresh water to flush out salt residue. Apply a small amount of WD-40 or a similar light lubricant to the dials to prevent salt crystallisation from stiffening the mechanism. Salt buildup is the primary cause of combination stiffness on surf-use keysafes. See our coastal maintenance guide for full detail. For a broader look at what coastal Queensland conditions do to hardware, see: Coastal Environments — The Realities.

Should I store my smart key fob inside the keysafe when surfing?
FK Surf advises against this wherever avoidable. Their recommended approach is to store only a mechanical surf key (cut to open the car door only, with no remote or engine-start function) inside the keysafe, and place your full smart fob inside the RFID signal-blocking wallet inside the car. If you must leave the smart fob in the keysafe, use the RFID wallet inside the keysafe, conceal the keysafe from view, and consider adding a secondary deterrent such as a steering wheel lock.

Additional Information
Relay Attack Risk and Why the RFID Wallet Matters:
Keyless entry and push-to-start car systems work by detecting a low-power radio signal continuously broadcast by your key fob. Relay attack thieves use a signal amplifier to capture the fob's signal from inside the keysafe and relay it to a partner standing at your car - the vehicle detects the amplified signal, unlocks, and in many cases starts, just as if the key were nearby. Storing the fob in the RFID signal-blocking wallet stops the fob from broadcasting entirely. FK Surf recommend verifying the wallet is functioning before each use - with the key fully enclosed and the velcro sealed, the car should not start. Read more: The Relay Attack Risk explained.

Keysafes Are a Target - Minimise What's Inside:
FK Surf include a plain-language warning in their product documentation: thieves actively target surf keysafes at beach car parks. A determined thief with the right tools can break into most portable keysafes regardless of build quality. The most effective risk mitigation is to reduce the value of what is inside. Storing a mechanical surf key (door-open only, no remote functions) rather than a full smart fob means a break-in yields access to the car's interior but not the ability to drive it away. For a full discussion of key storage security, see our guide: Secure Key Storage with a Heavy-Duty Surf Lock Box.

Setting and Resetting Your Combination:
The 4-digit code is user-settable and should be changed from the factory default before first use. Keep a written record of your code in a secure place separate from the keysafe itself. There is no mechanical override key - a forgotten code cannot be recovered without physical force on the body.

Getting a Mechanical Surf Key Cut:
Most car dealers and locksmiths can cut a mechanical-only duplicate key (no transponder chip, no remote functions) for a small cost. On modern push-to-start vehicles this key will open the door but will not start the engine, making it a low-risk item to store in a keysafe. Terry's can assist with key cutting and advice on surf key options - contact us in store or by phone. For the full explanation of surf key strategy, see: The Mechanical Surf Key Strategy.

Storing a Spare Key Elsewhere:
If you want a no-code emergency spare hidden on the vehicle itself, the FK Surf Magnetic Key Hider is a lower-cost alternative - no combination required, attaches magnetically to any steel surface. For home or rental property key storage, see our guide to storing a spare key outside the property. Comparing keysafe options against connected smart padlocks?
