Which is a small but big dilemma we are having while having the kitchen and dining room redecorated. We really need these key hooks handy as we have one or two cars but they are an eyesore hanging on the wall, and thought you intelligent forum lads and lasses may have some idea as to something tidy and convenient :D
Many thanks in advance for your suggestions ;)

We have similar hooks but on the inside of a kitchen cupboard so out of sight when the door is closed but easily accessible.

Ditto - inside larder door.
Same keys, same hooks, same easy access - but out of sight.

And now someone will tell me how unhygienic it all is!

I must be posh as I got a good smart oak dartboard cabinet from a car boot and all the keys hang on different hooks.

I made ours from oak, but just a board not a cupbaord, hangs in a narrow corridor so extra depth would be a problem!

I think I would get myself a locking steel Key Cabinet and mount it in the Kitchen :)

I used to have a nice oak wall mounted key cupboard which I bought for not a lot from Ikea

I have a Lego one :) A different coloured brick on each Key which just click onto the base.

I saw a cool Marshall Amp version with a mono plug on your key ring which plugs into the front of a miniature Marshall amp.

Though I do like the cabinet method :)

That might be the immobiliser?

Just get a big ashtray / glass bowl and throw all the keys in that. Oh, hang on, that's for something else entirely... :oops:
Doesn’t work too well if it’s just you and the wife though...:rolleyes:

We went to one of those parties once. I swapped the wife for a Ford Focus.
