The Models & Surf surf padlock was a combination-operated key safe with a removable hanger. This reference preserves its original measurements, design details and limitations for owners and people researching surf key storage.

Dimensions and key fit

The original size chart distinguishes the storage compartment from the outer case and hanger. The internal space was listed as 85 mm high, 62 mm wide and 30 mm deep. Including the hanger, the outer dimensions were 171 × 95 × 40 mm; without the hanger, 115 × 95 × 40 mm.

A key's length alone does not establish whether it will fit: its thickness, attached fob and any key ring also take up space. The original listing mentioned diagonal storage, but the measured internal dimensions are the useful starting point. A diagonal fit was not a separate guaranteed capacity.

Combination access and removable hanger

The box used combination access, so opening it did not require carrying a separate padlock key. The original description stated that the hanger could be detached after the correct combination was entered and the lever inside the case was operated. The detached hanger could be stored inside the box when it was not in use.

The catalogue described 10,000 combinations. That number describes the combination system; it is not an independent security rating or a guarantee against theft. The source did not identify a certified attack-resistance standard or a specific case-metal grade.

Keyless cars: an important limitation

The original listing explicitly stated that this model does not shield the RFID signal emitted by proximity key fobs. It should not be treated as an RFID-blocking key safe. A fob fitting inside the compartment does not establish that it is suitable for storage beside a particular vehicle.

For the broader considerations behind storing a key while surfing, read our surf key lock guide. The original photographs below help identify the case, hanger and colour versions; they do not establish compatibility with every car key.
