How many sets of keys do you keep, or specifically how many keys, (fun thread)

when I moved into my current house (40 years ago), the locks on all entrance doors (front/ & back including dead bolts) were changed to use same key. When one of my sons bought his house, he had the locks changed to use the same key as this house.
 
Our house originally had 4 keys....different locks and deadbolts on both doors. That, plus the car keys really created a "lump" in the pocket. After a couple of years I changed all 4 to a "keyed alike" set, which now only requires 1 key for all 4 locks. Then, I gave a key to the kids, so they can always have access to our place if something happens.
 

When I moved to my retirement community they gave me 3 keys (which I carry with me when I go out)--one each for the front and back doors and one for my mailbox. (I do have a duplicate front door key.) My car "key" is a fob. The set of 10 keys that I carried around for decades is sitting in a drawer. I would be hard pressed to identify what any of them were for. They are not house keys--I gave all of those to the new owners of my house. My wallet also sits in the drawer. I only need that when I leave the development. (Yes, I have forgotten it a few times, but fortunately was close to home when I had to turn around and go back for it.) Contents of my pants pockets are definitely lighter these days!
 

How many sets of keys do you keep, or specifically how many keys, (fun thread)​

Two sets
One in my pocket
One elsewhere

One;
House key
Shop key
Key to the Wrangler
Two keys to the Jimmy (door and ignition)
One to the gun cabinet
One to the firesafe
One, to the 10 padlocks out at the cabin

My keys don't leave my right front pocket unless I'm using them.
I even pull the ignition key when I'm filling up
It's just a good habit

Wallet and money clip in my left front pocket

When I'm in bed, they're in the drawer of my bed stand
Right by my wallet and money clip
Of which is right beside my .357

A fob for the car, a mail key and a key for our safe deposit box. I should take that off. I could just pull it out on the rare time I go to the bank. The house is entered using a key pad. The garage uses a remote that is part of the car.
 
Can't even begin to count them all. House key's for Arkansas I won't need anymore. :( However, there is still the garage, and storage trailer up there, plus the dodge truck, and the cattle trailer has a padlock and a hitch lock. The tractor also has a key.
Here in Florida, I have my car keys, wife's car keys, and our trailblazer keys. The house here has all different locks on the doors, so, lots of keys there. The enclosed trailer has 3 different locks. Both my open trailers have hitch locks, I also have keys to my brothers and sisters house . Almost forgot the tractor key for the one here, and my all important p-38 openers. :) Key to the gun safe, and 2 strong boxes. Wheew, no wonder I list to one side when out and about.
Like Gary'O, my wallet and money sit on the night stand along with the trusty 45.

I'm thinking about learning 'magic', then I'll be able to extend all the fingers of both hand in the direction of a lock, jerk my hands back and forth and simply say, "Open sez me." I hope it works. 😊
