Tips for Key Organization

Tips & Techniques

Does anyone have good advice on how they deal with their keys/keychains?

I’m trying to make this short and sweet so the gist of it is that I have lots of keys and 2 keycards, most of which I need every day but some of which I don’t! I’m thinking of trying to separate them into multiple keychains so I could only grab the one I need, so I was just wondering what works best for you all to have what you need but also not lose anything!

Any tips/recommendations/stories are welcome :)

I bought and hung this and hang my keys as soon as I get home, but still leave my house without my keys pretty often which is why I have a spare key hidden outside so I can get back into my house when that happens. This makes me late pretty often but at least I know where my keys are. If they aren't on the shelf I will lose them.

I like that that one has a shelf on top of the hooks! I have some hooks but I need somewhere to put things like my wallet that can’t hang up, so maybe I’ll get one that has a shelf built in. Also, I definitely need to make some spare copies of my keys! Thanks for your advice :)

I separated all my keys. Work keys on one clip. House/renter keys on another. Vehicle keys. Emergency keys. And they all have different colored clips. then I have extra copies of my car keys that I have on every key clip, so I always have a car key on me.

I put the one I need the most in my bag at all times, and then hang all of the others on a key rack that I have hanging in my kitchen at eye level. I also recommend the airtags for apple/ tile Bluetooth things that will beep from an app. (You can have unlimited tiles on an iPhone and I think 3-4 on an android device) so you can always find them. I have one hanging on all of my keys. Sort of expensive but absolutely worth it because I can always find my keys.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of color coding! I think that’s a great idea. Also, having extra copies in case you forget is smart. I worry about grabbing the wrong clip and forgetting a key I need so having extras would be great for that. Thanks for your help!

I put a 3M hook on the inside of my front door and a larger hook for my purse. I quit a lot of things but this worked shockingly well.
