I want to try this idea. Would work good on old GM keys that were flat.

Probably most of us have this problem. I have a similar hook next to my garage entry door. I carry minimal keys on my key ring though.

Very coincidental, but my wife ,just yesterday, had laid out keys that were mostly unmarked. I was able to recognize most but I'm not sure about one or two, and I'm afraid to throw them away and discover what they fit later.
It's amazing how we accumulate so much that needs protecting with a lock! Larry

Is that all you have???????????
How about 18 vehicles, 2 trailers, 2 tractors, 6 house (front, rear & basement door 2 locks each), garage (6 doors - 3 different keys), & 12 different tool box keys... Not to mention the duplicate spares.......

18 vehicles? All run and not used for commercial purposes? I forgot my store keys, gates, cables and doors. And two common L&G tractor keys

Now that I'm down to 4 cars, two which are sleeping for the winter now. I don't have that problem any more. Now if my wife doesn't start coming into the office for more than 20-25 hrs per week, ill have to sell her nice red G8 and be down to 3 haha.

I didn't count the gate keys and padlocks on various items...

All but 2 run (engines are out pending repair/replacement)... 12 are licensed & insured all year and no commercial use, the other 4 not licensed are on hold for various reasons... A man does have to have a few toys to make use of his free time.... One good thing is that all but 2 (daily drivers) are stored inside, in one location, outside my backdoor.....

I can have the guy that made those Oldsmobile ones for me. I am thinking he does coat hook about 2 feet long, so maybe he get 18-20 place hooks for us?

Pretty expensive, IIRC in the fifty range? 1/8" steel.
