FAQs
If I have larger accessories or car keys, how do I attach them?
The good news with key organizers is that they will always come with a loop piece, which you can use to attach your car keys or extra tools that cannot fit normally in the setup. In the case of the Keysmart for instance, you can also purchase the Quick Disconnect to help you disconnect the car keys and Keysmart organizer.
Will all keys be compatible?
The good news is that most keys are compatible with these key organizers, as long as the key hole is more than four mm in its diameter, the length a maximum of 67mm, and the profile is flat. In addition, it does not matter what shape the key takes. If you have another type of key that does not fit the criteria, like bicycle lock keys, key fobs, and car keys, you can use the D-ring to attach them to the system.
What are the precautions to take?
Note that the process of setting up the entire system does require some play. If you tighten this area too little during assembly, the key ring loop will swivel on its own and you lose risking your keys. If it is too tight, then orienting the keys will become an awkward process, which means you cannot deploy the keys effectively.
