This year, Stadtwerke Giessen's key depot offers a little bit of security for everyday life. If you get locked out, this service gives you round-the-clock access to your spare key.
What do you give your loved ones, who may already have everything, for Christmas? How about a little bit of peace of mind this year? The SWG key depot is a gift for all daydreamers, those stressed out by everyday life or simply for all those who want to be spared a moment of fright. The service provided by Stadtwerke Gießen (SWG) allows you to store spare keys to your home, car or holiday flat safely and access them at any time. "Whether you just want to take out the rubbish quickly or you're rushing to an important appointment - there are countless situations in everyday life where you can easily get locked out. And if you're particularly unlucky, the neighbours with whom you've left a spare key are on holiday. In such cases, the SWG key depot saves you the cost of a locksmith and spares your nerves," says Michael Rösner, Head of Sales for Private and Commercial Customers at SWG, explaining the service.
In addition to the advantages of the SWG key depot, there is another reason to think about this unusual gift: This year, the search for a suitable Christmas present is even more difficult than usual, because concert tickets or vouchers for other events are largely cancelled as an option due to Corona. "The key service is a real alternative - especially if relatives live further away and you can't rush to help yourself," adds Michael Rösner.
Permanently available
A place in the depot is available for just five euros a month. In return, the recipient enjoys an all-round secure service: the deposited keys are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This is because they are stored in a special cabinet at SWG's head office - near the gate, which is permanently manned. Anyone wishing to collect their replacement key has two ways of identifying themselves: a finger scan or a numerical code, each in conjunction with an individual PIN.
