how do you manage your front door keys during the construction phase?
So far, the key for the construction door was always kept in a designated place.
Now that we have our front door, I actually don’t want to do that anymore, mainly to prevent unauthorized copying...
However, it is difficult to impossible for me to always bring the key to the construction site. And since there are currently different trades working in the house, I can’t just give the key to a single contractor either.
I have been thinking about some kind of key safe to at least have some protection.
Ideally, I would like a safe with a kind of data logger, so I know who was in the house and when (also to possibly trace any damage in the house).
Does anyone have experience with this? Is there something like this available for rent for about 5-6 weeks?

Exactly, install a cheap lock.
We had 3 keys for it. One for us, one for the construction supervisor, and the third stayed on site for quite a while—until the staircase was installed (which arrived very late). After that, I didn’t want it anymore, also due to insurance reasons.
That key was then shared between the plumber and the electrician, as they had the most work and stayed on site the longest.

The cylinder from the construction lock stayed in place and was only replaced during the final house inspection.Same for us.
During the construction phase, each trade involved with the general contractor had a master key. Only when the house was handed over did we receive a "proper" lock with three keys for us.
