Keys of your life.

Filmer Paradise

Pretty much everyone carries a set of keys.
I've just counted the ones I carry every day and it comes to 7.

2 house keys (Dads place)
1 house key (mine)
1 car key
3 work keys (locker & toolboxes)

These are the keys in my life. What keys do you carry?:)

I used to have a big bunch but I stripped it right back.
My day to day keys just have 2 hoyse keys and a bicycle lock key (should probably take that off as I rarely cycle).

I have a separate work bunch of keys which also has other keys on it (mum's house, sister's house etc). Car key is on its own.

It's so much nicer having a tiny bunch of keys in your pocket (not a euphemism).

Not a single one!

For the most part, when if I go out, I'll take the car's key card, and that's it.

Otherwise, it's only when I head off in the camper that I'd have a key permanently within reach.

You leave your front door open?

Yep. And the windows too, sometimes! Depends on how long I'm going to be out.

I did think about locking the door once when I went back to visit the parents in Dublin one Christmas. About three days into the trip I had a sudden realisation that I'd fished the key out of a drawer and put it in the lock, but couldn't remember doing anything with it after that.

A neighbour went around after about a week and took it out of the door for me. :pac:

Locks are only there to keep honest men out.

My brother in law doesn't use keys, but his view is that somebody else will be there to let him in. So if he's going to his parents house, they'll be there. If he's leaving his own house, either somebody is still at home or else he's bringing someone with him who has the keys.

Baffling to me, but that's what he's done all his life apparently.

Edit: for me it's home, parents, in-laws and car keys. Used have work keys, but that is now my kitchen table...

Neighbours of ours always left their doors unlocked with the theory that if someone wanted to get in badly enough they would, easier if they didn’t break the doors in their attempts ... always though it was a bit silly, then...
My mother in law who not only locks her doors but her internal doors also, got broken into and they broke every single door in the house kicking them in, poor lady was at mass at the time and had to have every single door in the house repaired. The neighbours theory checked out ....

Philipx

Back door key.
Patio door key (in case another denizen has left their key in the back door lock & gone to bed).
Mother's house.
Car fob.

And one other latch type key that I have no idea what it's for

Anyone else have one of those mystery keys that you're afraid to get rid of, just in case?

My elderly neighbours, born and raised in the area, told me that when they started moving to Paris for a more comfortable and convenient hibernation every winter, they'd lock every door in the house, including several antique wardrobes. They came back one spring to find the same thing - every lock broken, and the wardrobes destroyed. There was nothing in the wardrobes to steal - literally nothing, as the couple had taken everything to Paris. They were more upset about the wrecked furniture than all the rest ... and never locked the internal doors again.

Back then, our hamlet had a lot of traffic and untraceable visitors. Since it was by-passed twenty years ago, other than the local tractors, we'd see about half a dozen cars a day, so every vehicle attracts attention - especially if they stop!

About 5, try to keep them to a minimum

These days, just two. House and car.

I do contract work where I (usually) replace the Big Boss and find myself handed a massive bunch of keys on the first morning. Different places, different fobs, but always this mass of jangling metal. For the most part, the only reason these keys are given to me is so that someone else can come an ask for the key to [wherever]. Most of the time, I can get the bunch stripped down to three by the end of the first day - my camper door key, the key to the building where I'm working and, if there is one, the key to the gate to the site. I can't understand why anyone other than a castle guard would want to carry so many keys around with them all the time ...

Anyone here admit to carrying around their bunch of keys by attaching it to a belt clip?

Don't lock the house, leave the keys in the car/jeep/van.
I have a blast of keys for work jobs and I throw them into a pencil case.
Shag all to steal in our house really anyhow.
A lad broke into the girlfriends house years ago. I scarred him for life by knocking him down like I was catching a calf in a shed, sat on his chest and twisted his ear whenever he tried to get away. I was totally nude!!

Use to Well have a clip on the keys I can attach to a belt loop.

Haven't used the clip in about ten years but did catch me out recently. I couldn't find my keys anywhere, looked for an hour, but with Covid decided I didn't need to drive into town anyway. When I went to bed took trousers off and there were the keys clipped to a belt loop at the back of my trousers

Main bunch has car, my house (one lock), parents house (three locks - two doors), the postbox key so I can check it before going in to the house, door fob for work and a disarm fob for my parents alarm on it. Proably a bit on the big side considering the old mortice lock key and the two fobs.

I have a big bunch for work but I only carry them when I'm going to work. Realistically there's only 3 keys plus a dallas key I actually need on the bunch but for some reason i always seem to collect more. I don't drive ao the only other key I have is a house key.

Many years ago I lived in a student house with one of those doors you could just pull shut with no handle on the outside. So of course one weekend when no one else was around I locked myself out with no key. Borrowed a metal coat hanger from some friends and a stick and had it open through the letterbox in no time. These days I could pick a lock that basic.

I've way too many keys there is even one on it I don't know where it's for, have one of those special light ones too where in night clubs they have them so others can't turn on or off.... I can.....

I've had the belt clip on yoke on them since my dad got me them when I was 11.....
Still have the original key.

Key to my ex-husband's house ( long story )

Brilliant! A much needed chuckle here!

Being offshore … Oh when I lived in Orkney the police used to boast that no one ever got away with stealing a car.. OF COURSE they would not be able to get it on the ferry! Same out here.

I lock my door when I am inside as a couple of the cats learned how to open the door and in winter it got cold. Never when I go for a walk at 5 am....

Sgt Hartman

Front door
Two for my lockers at work
Bike lock

I have my "Limerick" keys in my back pack for when I visit my parents at the weekend

Just a simple key ring because I don't like bulky key rings

Graces7

The one I am always mislaying is the ESB meter key.. Allan key? The car key is pathetic. No use without a car...
