What is on your key chain?

Information about locks themselves. Questions, tips and lock diagram information should be posted here.

Nothing exciting...

Two Kwiksets, a mailbox key, bottle opener, and some folding nail clippers. Oh, and a key for a Ford Taurus.

Oh, you mean keys to the box under your bed with the interesting articles you read? :mrgreen:

KW1 - My apartment door.

SC1 - Apartment building door.

NA14 - Mailbox.

SC4 - The bathroom at work.

Yes, the bathroom at my work is more secure than my apartment. Eh, I've got nothing in my apartment worth stealing.

@Teddy Picker:

How come the only thing at work you have a key for is the bathroom ?

The front door has a security guard who I have to show my ID to. The inner door has a electronic numeric keypad (thankfully this is almost always open when I get to work -- it changes whenever someone leaves the company, and I can never memorize new combinations quickly enough to keep up).

The reason there is a lock on the bathroom door is kind of funny. There is a doctor's office in the same building, and one of the doctor's elderly patients would frequently visit, go into the bathroom, and poop on the floor. She was caught on security camera going to and from the bathroom, so it had to be her. After a few months of this, they made the bathrooms "staff only" and put locks on the doors, rather than confront her about it.

Two small keychains:

Keychain 1 - cars
Lexus key
Ford key
Key for fuel cap lock

I only have car keys on this keychain because too many keys and gadgets make it too heavy, increasing wear on the ignition. (Yeah, another mechanic).

Keychain 2 - work
1 National (uniform locker)
1 M10 - padlock securing some stuff to my tool box
1 Snap-On tubular key - my tool box
1 generic tubular key - for my roll-around tool cart
1 Swiss Tool (mini pliers and screwdrivers)
1 Utili-Key

Used to carry another key set for home, but we installed Schlage keypad locks on all doors, and a combo lock on the gate to the back yard. Can't see the logic in an expensive lock for the gate when anybody over 6 years old could probably climb over the gate. :-)

Oh, and I took apart the Schlage locks on the doors and removed the last driver and key pin, replacing them with a solid pin the same length as both pins combined, into which I machined a couple of grooves, so if they are being picked, it will feel like spool pins, but can never open. :twisted: I figure that most crooks will try bashing a window, but it is fun to picture them trying picking or bumping the lock!

Um, doesn't mean that you can't open them either?

I installed keypad Schlage deadbolts. They have a keypad and a key. It is doubtful that the batteries on all 3 locks will go abruptly dead at the same time, so I don't fear a lockout. Sorry I was not clear - I had 2 posts above.
