Sprinkler Key Hider, Black

This sprinkler-like pipe is a great idea for hiding a spare key in the lawn, I just hope the gardener never mistakes it for a broken sprinkler. I ordered two of them and they are even better quality than the real sprinklers and I don't think they will break under foot pressure.

Looks real and fits a key perfectly. I could fit more then one if need be. I just wish it came with a stake on the end or something to help it stay in the ground better. The price I paid it definitely worth it and the Plastic is durable.

For $6 buck you cannot beat a hidden key sprinkler, I have this at one of my properties and it works great! Very easy to open if needed and very simple to place inside the ground.

Great idea for hide a key. It really looks like a sprinkler head.

Good quality hidey hole and reasonably priced. Plastic is sturdy. Big enough to hold several keys. This would be good for a small geocache or possibly a letterbox. However, if someone doesn't screw the lid on correctly, I could see it getting wet inside, so I would put paper log inside a sealable plastic bag.

I purchased this item after researching key hiders for some elderly relatives.**Compared to other key hiders:Stone and figurine key hiders by other brands felt too gimmicky, unrealistic /or easy to access the opening. This sprinkler key hider design was the most realistic and unassuming of all available options. It’s made of a plastic material that is thick and lightweight, and it appears as durable as I’d expect. This key hider is cost-effective and offers good value for money, especially compared to alternative key hider styles.**If you have an in-ground sprinkler system:When this key hider is installed in the ground or lawn, it looks like a typical in-ground sprinkler head.Be sure to compare the size of the top of your real sprinkler head and the top of the key hider before purchasing this — some in-ground sprinkler heads are smaller in width or have a small colored stripe. The key hider’s size is long enough to accommodate most key lengths, and it’s wide enough to fit at least 2-3 keys stacked on each other. If color is a concern, consider using nail polish in a comparable color to paint a stripe on the key hider to help it blend in.**If you don’t have an in-ground sprinkler system:Consider buying more than one key hider (using any additional ones as empty decoys) and evenly spacing them out around the desired area. Installing one sprinkler key hider in an area with no other sprinkler heads will look odd (and perhaps even suspicious).**Key hider is NOT waterproof:The key hider has a sturdy screw-top lid. However, there isn’t a gasket to keep water out of the inner storage area. Consider wrapping your key (and any other small contents like a key ring, etc.) in plastic wrap or placing the items in a very small plastic bag with a zipper top before putting them inside the key hider. Avoid placing any unprotected items inside that cannot handle regular contact with water.**Product name and trademark are etched on the outside:This is the only part I really don’t like about the key hider. The product name, trademark, and a key symbol are in prominent raised letters/symbols on the side of the item. (See the photos for details.) I would highly recommend using a sturdy file or quality sandpaper to sand down this raised branding before installing in the ground — just in case a potential thief, unexpected flood, or hired gardener partially unearths the item.Tl;dr: Best realistic and quality option of available key hiders as long as you don’t need it to be waterproof and you don’t mind filing down the raised branding on the side. Compare the size/color to your current sprinkler system. If you don’t have a sprinkler system, buy more than one of these key hiders and space them out to look more intentional/realistic. Recommended with these caveats.

It's waterproof and I can't imagine anyone figuring out this is a fake sprinkler. Looks so close to my real sprinkler heads that nobody is going to figure this out without being told. I planted it in a bed with mulch to make sure it didn't get overgrown by grass.

They work well
