Maybe thats for Gram's garage. I also keep my p38 on my key chain. Now for the wife's keys..........Oh good Lord. Nope! That would take WAY too long with all the rewards thingys an bottle openers and other trinkets. Thank heaven the ignition keys stay in the trucks and the keys we carry only open the doors.

Don't carry those keys any more. Just down to vehicle keys mostly, Three for my Ranger (door, ignition, and camper shell) Why did Ford use different keys for the ignition (square head) and the door (round head, same as trunk keys)????? One key for my Pontiac Vibe, PO Box key, and keys for toolbox and locker at work on smaller ring that is installed on the larger ring. Suddenly realized I have a key I don't know what it fits....... Schlage door lock key.... I never use the original car keys, you wear them out and then don't have anything to make new ones from. Also originals have that thick crappy plastic on the heads of them, so I only use duplicated keys, plain old blanks with no ornamentation, on my key ring. Put the electronic key fobs for the car away, will give them to the new owner in a few years. Charles [Reply]  [No Email]

Locks work great. I did put a sticker on the indoor side showing when I changed the battery last. The don't want to come right on in the 100 degree heat and you sometimes have to push all the buttons for a few seconds to wake them up, but this happens only infrequently. I don't have deadbolts or second locks, so no issue there. If someone wants in, its real easy, just break some glass, so these are to keep honest people and opportunist criminals out.

The same two open the weekend house and weekend garage. The other three are for the gun range in the basement of the club. The first two keys unlock about 12 different locks that I keyed the same to make life easier. I always carry that set so I can get into the house, though if I forget it, I can key in the code on the garage door. And of course the ignition key. The other set is the car set, Car key, and three keys for the school bus I drive. Last set that sits in my car, all the other keys I need for dad"s, sister"s etc. [Reply]  [No Email]

House key, One for the shop, one that fits the sugar house and two gas tanks, sugar house front door, one for my sister's house, one for the neighbor's, and a PROTO key chain screw driver. Vehicles all have their own rings, get brought in at night. I also have a bunch of seldom used keys hanging in my tool box, and a drawer full of the same at home. IF I ever kill or seriously injure a thief, it will not be because of whatever I catch him doing. It will be from years of pent up frustrations and anger from lost keys, broken keys, broken locks, frozen locks, worn out locks, and forgotten combinations. Was the lock actually locked, who has a key, who knows the combination, when can I get the key, where do I have to go to get the key, who can I trust with the key, is the key actually hidden where they said it would be, or did they forget. Who parked their car locked it up and took the keys, right in front of the shop door/in the driveway/across the gate? Cheap locks, expensive locks, expensive KEYS, AAAAARRRRGH. What do you mean we can't get two keys with this rental car? And don't get me started on high tech, smart keys etc. And then when the lock doesn't do its job, there is the flak from the insurance company. This actually happened to and acquaintance of mine. "We won't pay for your stolen truck, because you left the keys in it." It was in a LOCKED building!!! [Reply]  [No Email]

The big one has things on it like my house keys, keys to our Surburban, keys to my Jeep, the key to the storage building, etc. Basically keys to any and everything NOT work related. My two smaller rings both have nearly an identical set of keys on them, and all of them are work related. I do this so I will never get locked out of my service truck out in the middle of nowhere..Been there beofre and was thankful for the ring in my pocket. Too, if I do happen to get out and leave the keys in it, I don't have to get back in to ger that ring in order to unlock the bins, etc. Too there are times I'm moving around vehicles in the yard to make room so one ring will be in one vehicle and the other will be on a second vehicle. That way I can just leave them running for the two minutes it takes to move the other one out of the way and don't have to start and stop the both of them if I'm swapping places with them or whatever. It's a pocket full but I've been carrying them so long I'd probably walk leaning to one side if I took them out...LOL [Reply]  [No Email]

If his picture was clearer I could make copies of the 2 Kwikset keys and the Schlage as well as the square one to the left of the Schlage that looks like a patio door key (Kwikset blank). The Schlage looks like a 47658 or there abouts. Cut that code to a bump and with 10 seconds you are in. Of course if you know what you are doing with a bump, you can open it in 30 anyway. But the real joy is making the key and walking in like you own the place, bumping or picking in just aint as fun or rewarding. Making key copies from pictures has been done for years, not just since digital photography even though it came into mainstream news a few years ago with the voting machines. http://boingboing.net/2007/01/25/diebold-voting-machi.html All it takes is 2 seconds walking past a copy machine or 20 seconds with a sharp pencil and tracing the key. Never let your keys out of your sight.... The key on the far right looks like a tool used to open a large number of locks when you dont have the factory supplied key for that particular lock.

Zero, Nada, Zilch, Keys stay in the vehicles even at the store or wherever. No housekeys needed, I use the electric garage door. Turn the latches on the deadbolts at night. When I go deer hunting or waterfowl or pheasant hunting keys are hidden near the vehicle so anyone in the group can use it in an emergency. Spare keys hidden in vehicles with self tapping screws. Keys for toolboxes or trailer hitches remain in vehicle. Like wise trailer hitch and dog box keys. Never have a key in my pocket and thus have never lost my keys. [Reply]  [No Email]

The house is rarely locked because we never go anywhere, if someone needs to come in the house in the middle of the night they have to get past the two dogs and traverse the whole house in the dark before meeting the muzzle flash in the hallway.
