How many keys on ring you normally carry

[TallPaul]

This is one of those "I'm bored" threads. Anyway, I have three keys (F150, Aerostar, and House) on one of those spring steel rings (I believe they are called Split Rings). Since I carry them in my pocket almost all the time, I hate a bulky key ring. I suspect most men will have minimal key rings with few keys for personal use, while some may have big rings of keys for work (especially if you are a maintenance man at a building or facility), which is more like carrying tools.

There was a liability to the single massive key ring. I don't know now since I haven't heard of it lately, but at one time the massive swinging pendulum, over time, would wear out your lock mechanism in the column.

6 plus key fob. Do you think women carry more keys? Really I would say you really need only 3 keys car, work, home.

My wife does. Nothing wrong with that, just would bug me to no end.

Corvette: No keys. I always carry my VW fob with the house key attached.

VW: 2 keys House and mailbox, VW key is built in like a switchblade

2 car keys, 2 house keys, 1 bike key, 1 barn key, 2 safety box keys, 1 P.O. Box key.

only the car key...now if only I could afford a car where I did not have to physically insert the key into the ignition, I would really be happy

I carry 1 key normally. I only carry the key to whatever car I am driving, same for the wife. We don't lock the doors on the house so no need for a key to unlocked doors and most of the cars have the keys in them.

Truck key, front and back house key, topper key, handcuff key. The wife carries a key for about everything we own.. not sure how she stands it.

typ901, Keyless is no big deal, until it doesn't work. I would just as soon have a key type ignition switch.

I've got 6: Two house (different doors, although I could get by with only 1), car, work, mailbox, and bike lock.

 

[soldierman]

I just counted 15 keys

 

[typ901]

Sure...but I do know that a lot of cars have a override-physical connection.

Not on the ring, on a key chain, those with tiny balls. Rings want to be perpendicular to the keys, I find this is easier on the pockets.

Two little GM keys on a chain, three house keys that I had in aluminum on another chain. My problem; I regularly lock the keys in the car.

If the two doors have same key blank, a locksmith can rekey the one so both open with same key. Usu charge about 8 - 10 bucks.

That doesn't work in the Detroit area, or many other areas. My brother used to leave his doors unlocked when he lived in Biwabik Minnesota.

I'm a minimalist:
house key, truck ignition key, fob/keyless entry, lab key for school.

I keep a seperate set of keys for my wife's car. I don't drive it often enough to carry them around with me.

I also carry a pocket knife in the same pocket.

Six: Jeep, fuel cap, mailbox, outer door to my building, my apartment door, and the deadbolt on my apartment door.

 

[rg200amp]

One Lincoln key and keyless entry, one truck key, two house keys,

and the most important----

Beer bottle opener!

 

[SinisterK9]

House key, car key(s), kennel key (work), mailbox key, handcuff key.
