same here, keeps me from losing things that way and cuts down on the bulk

They are making car keys too cumbersome these days. My car key is one of those fob things, have to push a block into the dash board and press the button. Kind of a pita. Other than that, about 6-8 other keys.

I have three different key rings.
-Personal ring has car key, house key and key to my Dads house
-Company car ring has car key and house key
-Work ring that i leave in car has keys to CT office, Boston showroom, mail box, Philadelphia showroom and electronic security card to gain access to lobby at Boston office.

My key ring.....
-Carabiner to clip it to my pocket
-Car key
-House key(never use. Use the garage opener but have it for emergency)
-Room key
-Store front door key
-Roof rack
-A ski ticket plastic zip-tie wicket

So that is 7 things. Used to have more but got rid of them.

I just have my car key and the key to the cigarette case at work. House key stays in the car.

I've got a 'biner that holds my keys.
I then separate my keys into subrings that can be removed from the 'biner when I only need a subset of keys.

I have a subring that holds my car key / remote (VW/Audi switchblade key), my house key, my work proximity fob and the key to my laptop lock. These are the keys I need all the time.

Another subring contains the key to my mother's house, a spare key for my house, and a luggage lock key, I hardly ever need these.

Next Subring are work keys (for stuff I can't get into with my proximity fob): Main door key (in case card access system is down), key to the IT closet and server / telephone rooms, key to the front door of the building (we lease space in a larger office building), a key I don't recognize, and a spare fob.

Last Subring are keys to the fencing club: one for the outside door to the mill, and the other for the fencing room and the office. These are separate as I often have to loan them out.

I'm not a fan of carrying around all my keys (don't need any help with having a bulge down there), so I regularly only carry my house keys (two for the door and one to get into my building). I don't use my car every day, so I keep the car keys and another key chain with random keys at home.

And this has got be one of the more useless threads of all time (though I couldn't resist chipping in).
