Master Lock 5440EC Enterprise Bluetooth Key Safe - Portable
The Master Lock 5440EC is a portable Bluetooth key safe that stores keys, fobs and access cards and is opened keylessly from a smartphone using the Master Lock Vault Home or Vault Enterprise app. It lets you grant temporary or permanent access without handing out physical copies, with a full audit trail of every open event.
A reinforced metal body and a shackle for hanging over doors, gates or railings make it a practical choice for real estate inspections, holiday rentals, trades and managed facilities. It is part of the wider Master Lock Vault Enterprise Bluetooth range, so key storage can be managed from the same app as the padlocks and door controller.

Master Lock Vault
The 5440EC is managed through the Master Lock Vault apps, available on iOS and Android ![]()
. Vault Home is the free personal app, supporting up to 10 locks with access history. Vault Enterprise is the business platform, with a web interface for managing many locks and many users, assigning access on a temporary or ongoing basis, and reviewing audit trails. The same key safe works with either.
For a broader view of how a Bluetooth platform fits property and facilities management, see our guide to choosing a platform for commercial use, and the Master Lock enterprise access range.
Battery & Power
The 5440EC runs on a single CR123A battery, supplied and easy to replace. The device and the app both provide a low battery notification and reminder, so you can replace the battery before it runs down. Because the key safe opens by app only, keep the battery maintained and replace it promptly when warned.

Frequently Asked Questions
It opens over Bluetooth from the Master Lock Vault app on your phone. This is the Bluetooth model, so there is no on-unit code or combination dial and no Wi-Fi gateway. See how Bluetooth access works.
The internal compartment is 91.4 x 63.5 x 27.9 mm (119.6 cubic centimetres) - room for house and car keys, fobs and access cards.
It uses a replaceable CR123A battery. Both the device and the app give low battery notifications and reminders, so you can replace it before it runs down. As the safe opens by app only, keep the battery maintained and replace it promptly when warned.
Yes. Through the Vault app you can grant temporary or permanent access to individuals or groups, and every open is recorded in the audit trail - useful for real estate, holiday rentals and managed sites. See the Bluetooth key safe overview.
The 5440EC is portable, with a shackle to hang over a door, gate or railing. The 5441EC is wall-mounted for a fixed installation. Both use the same Vault app.
Additional Information
The 5440EC is the portable Bluetooth key safe in the Master Lock Vault Enterprise range, sharing an app and audit trail with the wall-mount key safe, the padlocks and the door controller. For a property manager or trade running access across several sites, keeping key storage on the same platform as the locks is the main advantage. We cover the full range in our enterprise access overview.
Worth knowing: because this is the Bluetooth model, access is app-based only - there is no mechanical combination fallback as on the Select Access dial and push-button safes, so plan for a phone being available and keep the battery maintained. To weigh a key safe against a smart lock for guest or contractor access, the Smart Lock Buyer's Guide is a good starting point.
