In the kiosk

Magnetic hide-a-key

A small box with a strong magnet that holds a spare car key out of sight on the car, so a locked-in key does not ruin your day.

Magnetic hide-a-key box

What it is

A weather-resistant case that snaps shut around a spare key and sticks to bare metal on the car. Price at kiosk

Where to stick it on a car

  • On a flat, clean, bare-metal surface underneath, such as the frame rail or a steel crossmember.
  • Away from the exhaust and anything that gets hot, and away from moving parts like wheels and suspension.
  • Not on plastic bumpers, aluminium or painted body panels: the magnet will not hold well there.
  • Somewhere you can reach without crawling, but not the first place a stranger would look.

Wipe the spot clean first, and check it now and then, especially after car washes or rough roads.

A spare for a push-to-start car

For push-to-start cars, store the metal emergency blade or a spare fob. Remember a fob in the box can still be detected by the car if it is close enough, so mount it well away from the doors.
