KeyNest Expands Key Locker Network Across Portugal

KeyNest, the world's largest key exchange network, is thrilled to announce the addition of 600 new locations across Portugal, including highly sought-after spots like airports and train stations.

Thanks to KeyNest’s collaboration with Locky, a cutting-edge network of electronic lockers in partnership with CTT, Portugal's official postal service, exchanging keys with guests and contractors has never been easier. Once a customer registers a key on KeyNest, they can then drop off a key in a local KeyNest Point, be it a shop or a locker. KeyNest's secure 6-digit key collection code is required to collect a key. 

Most of the key exchange locations are available 24/7, eliminating the hassle of coordinating schedules to meet up and pass the keys.
