Yep, apt. key, car key, mailbox key, parent’s house key, 'nuff said!
I have 2 keys - one for my Scion and one for the van. Easy peasy! We enter thru the garage so the opener in my car is the equivalent of my front door key.
I have two keyrings I carry daily. Each has a single key, so I’m fairly certain what each is for (car and house).
The house key is on a Tab keyring from the World of Coke in Atlanta. The car key is on a ring along with a 4x3 cloisonne medallion that proudly states Pussy Wagon – a Kill Bill and GaGa reference.
I have two key rings tied to my purse. One is for the car and the house key and the other is my shed key and a set of keys to my sons place.
Funny you started this thread…I was just looking at my keys and have two that I’m not 100% sure of. I think one is the key to another store I occasionally help out at…in fact, I vaguely remember asking the manager to send me an outline of her key so I could check…but the other one is a smaller key, not house or car or the two for my store…got rid of all my daughter’s keys, and finally took the Other Car Key off when my daughter took the car to North Carolina…but this last key is a mystery I must now solve! And it’s not the key to my church, nor to my storage unit…changed that to a combination lock. And I took my brother’s two keys off my ring after he came back from vacation.
Yes, at the moment - apartment, laundry room, mailbox, parents’ house, my office, music department office, grad student lounge. During the school year, I have a few more keys to other rooms in the music building, and sometimes I forget which one goes with which room.
I’m embarassed by how many old keys I’m carrying around that serve no purpose. I have both keys that I have no idea what they open and keys that I no longer use.
Yes. I hate carrying around an over-loaded keychain, so any key that I wouldn’t know what it’s for would come right off.
Access badges? If we’re counting those, I have another two. (One for our office suite, and one for the building.) But I need the physical key for our space, too, in case the card reader goes down and to lock/unlock the front door. And the other things in the office can’t be opened by our badges.
Insiped by this thread, I sorted my keys out yesterday. I put the two keys I use on a regular basis (my car and my house) on one ring and everything else on another. I’ll carry the small ring and the “everything else” ring is going into my car’s glove compartment.
Two keys for the house, one for the car and one for the locker I had in high school that I haven’t gotten around to removing yet.
I was always ending up with keys of questionable origin, or forgetting which keys were which, so I bought a set of cheap colored covers. There were only 6 in the pack, so it’s easy to remember my 6 keys.
Red - apartment
Blue - bedroom in apartment
Yellow- mail
Orange - practice room key (grand pianos)
Purple - practice room key (general)
Green - car
My bike is a combination, and the key to my parents’ house only gets added when I’m in their state.
Mailbox, apartment, bike, office filing cabinet, lab room, office, old key to the lab room that I never got around to taking off. Some semesters I also have a key to the notebook dropboxes, and when I’m home visiting Mom I have one for her house.
Normal Keys:
Chrysler key (wifes)
Mitsubishi Key (mine)
House key
Shed key
Work front door key
My office key
My desk key
My parents house key
Right now, I’m carrying less keys than normal, just Mitsubishi, house, shed, work, office, and desk. The others sit on the desk at the house.

I have two sets of keys, home keys and work keys.
My home ring is straighforward- common door, apartment door, car key, locker key, USB key.
My work keyring has 17 work-related keys and a USB key with a bootable compact persistent linux OS and software I can use to remotely administrate the corporate network. I know what 16 of those keys are for but there’s one on the ring that completely mystifies me. I am sure that if I were to ever give up and discard it, its purpose would instantly become apparent and of vital importance, but until then it remains an enigma.
Key one is for my car.
Key two is for my house.
I have a separate key ring with the keys to my mom’s house (3 doors/3 different keys). I don’t take them with me unless I am heading up there.
Yes. I have a good memory, so I know what all my keys are for. I also know that 8 out of 11 are for locks I no longer own.
I think I may win… yes, I know what THE key on my key chain is for… the car I’m driving today. Different car, different key chain with ONE key on it. Work ID gets me where I need to go at work, garage openers and/or touch pads get me in my house. I really want to get a car that uses the fob as the key so all you have to do is push the button to start the car and then my key chain will stay in my pocket and never be touched.
House, house, car, Mom’s house.
Easy enough. My condo and the front entrance at work.
