Riviting key rings!

Postby MStoddart » 2 May 2006 6:36

Hi all,

I have a client looking for keys to be fixed to a ring which cannot be opened/removed (unless you've got bolt cutters of hacksaw). Anyone heard of key rings that can be rivited or some other tamperproof fixing please?

TIA,
Matt

You could just silver solder up a normal keyring,

Well to be honest i dont see the point? i mean if they want your keys on the ring wont they just take the whole lot? I mean its not exactly you 5 hundred pound safe here, i would say if it were at a buiness lock um up with a good lock and keep that key on you at all times.. imgaine locking up keys... sounds unorthadox.. anyway just my 2 cents not trying to be smart or anything just a thought though cheers fellas :)

I think the idea is that if you've got all the keys on a ring, you can't really make a duplicate on a key machine and it would be tough to make a reasonable casting (not impossible... just tough). And it makes it a lot harder to pocket one key for an evening to have it duplicated, because if you take one you have to take them all.

ya, im sure thats the goal of sealing the keyring. i can understand why, in a business, one might feel better about handing out a secured set of keys. still, it might cause problems. some times its nice to have a ring that allows keys to be removed.

That site has the best ones I've seen so far. Soldering isn't very tamperproof b/c any idiot with a $10 RadioShack soldering iron or a mini torch lighter would be able to break and resolder the connection.

If you're looking for a true tamperproof solution, go for one of the many commercial solutions availalbe.
