Collection: Faraday & Key Security

Keyless car theft is now one of the most common ways cars disappear from UK driveways — thieves relay your key's signal from inside the house to unlock and start the car in under a minute. A faraday pouch or faraday box blocks that signal completely. Keys go in, the relay attack goes nowhere, the car stays put.

Pouch, bag or box?

A faraday pouch lives in your pocket or bag — day-to-day protection that goes where the key goes. A faraday box sits by the front door and holds the whole household's keys (the usual spot thieves target, since most people keep keys near the door). Most homes want one box plus a pouch per driver.

Beyond car keys

Larger faraday bags shield phones, bank cards and devices from scanning and tracking — useful for travel, privacy and protecting contactless cards. They also make a sensible home for spare keys and backup devices in your emergency kit.

Faraday FAQs

Do faraday pouches really stop keyless car theft?

Yes — a properly made pouch blocks the key's signal entirely, which defeats relay attacks. Test yours: key in pouch, stand next to the car, try the door handle. No response means it's working.

Where do thieves pick up the key signal?

Usually through the front door or a window — most households keep keys within a few metres of the door. That's why the box-by-the-door habit works so well.

Will a metal tin do the same job?

Sometimes, partially — but tins have gaps and no tested shielding. A purpose-made faraday lining is consistent, and consistency is the entire point.

Does a faraday pouch damage the key or drain its battery?

No — if anything the key battery lasts longer, because the key stops constantly broadcasting while it's shielded.
