Brrrrrr! It's cold out there! Here are a few tips to keep your lockboxes in tip-top shape this winter:

1. Always properly attach the lockbox to a DOOR KNOB. If your client is worried about wear and tear on the door itself, grab a door protector. Realtor door protectors are available HERE at the Realtor Team Store or at the Realty Supply Store.
2. Never leave a lockbox unattached as they have been known to walk away!
3. Never leave a lockbox sitting on the ground outside. Depending on the weather, the lockbox can freeze to the ground.
4. Never place a lockbox on a railing (especially iron railings). This not only jams the shackle, but has also been known to damage lockboxes in the winter months.
5. Also, make sure to re-insert the key containers property as well as placing keys in the proper area of the key container without keychains, rubber bands, key rings or other accessories. If you accidently damage a lockbox, please notify the listing agent immediately.
