Let's see your keychains!

I have a pointy ball of keys and fobs that rests in my pocket like a metal porcupine.

Been looking at new ideas for organizing my keys. Seen everything from the EDC key organizers that look like Swiss Army knives for keys, and high-end leather key wallets that zip or button up.

What do you guys use for a keychain?

I only carry one key in my pocket. The locksmith keyed everything alike.

My car key is just......my car key. Mostly because I don't want to scratch it. I keep 4 keys in my wallet. 3 are for emergencies so I really just need one honestly. The rest of my everyday carry is banned by TRF rules

OK, here's mine. It's a rear suspension part from the 2013 McLaren F1 car.

Two office keys, one home as all keyed alike. Case was a Kickstarter project. Car fob is separate.

I hate having clutter on my key rings.



Thinking about doing one of those keyless/keypad deadbolts on my door so I can ditch the key.

My wife had this made for me on fathers day many years ago. It contains a lock of hair from each of my three children's heads from when they were born. Also engraved with their names on the flipside.

The ring I have my keys on is what is connected to a pull pin on a hand grenade. I kept the ring from the first grenade I used in the army 26 years ago.

I wonder if it still would register as having traces of explosives...?

I need the address too, as can easily copy your keys. Thx.

Seriously, ummmm, posting your keys online?

Oh, also need your credit cards and Social Security # ;)

I don't keep anything of value in my apartment and my apartment key isn't even visible in my photo, so good luck.

Of course, since you know that I live in the state of New Mexico, that makes it easy to track me down and just take my keys from me.

Again, good luck with that.

Careful enough?
My first and only key chain - 40 yrs old this Winter...
Car dealers hate me as I always demand dual valet keys and never use the fobs/remotes.

Every homeowner needs a plumber and a locksmith on retainer.

Office is biometric. I'm thinking about making the house biometric too. That would get me down to a fob for the car.

Quite true. People already post too much PII, and now unlocking their home is all too easy.

Which one? I have 8 sets so what I do is put a set of house keys on each set of car keys. I leave a full set of garage, house, work keys in my purse. If the vehicle has a hitch key that's on the key ring with the vehicle keys and the key chain is symbolic of the vehicle. So Viper keys have a Viper emblem keychain.
