Keys, the ones that unlock your heart don't count 
How many sets of keys do you keep, or specifically how many keys, (fun thread)

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.

I have one key I leave my house with every time... my car key.
My house key is somewhere in a drawer.

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!

We each have two house keys. One unlocks the door in the garage and the other unlocks our storm door and front door. We also have a key to our mailbox and keys to our respective cars. That would be 4 that I use.

I have car keys, apartment keys, and a mailbox key. And spare car keys, spare apartment keys, and a spare mailbox key. And spare spares.
A complicated system of two lanyards plus extra keys in my purse.
I hate being locked out.

Two setsOne 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

Keys that I use regularly are on a key ring that I carry with me. All of the rest (many) are labelled and stored in a locked key box. And then . . . there's the key to the Rav4. It's about the size of a microwave oven and has to be carried separately. What were those people thinking???

Car keys, one house key that fits all my doors, fire safe key, my neighbors house key, my club house key, actually a FOB, and a small box full of assorted keys which I have no idea what they fit. Oh, and my golf cart key.

I have a whole box full of keys I'm afraid to throw away. As soon as I do, I'll find that padlock that I don't have a key for....... I guess you'd call me a Key Hoarder.
The only keys I will never throw away are the "skeleton" keys from my grandmother's old house. One of these days, I'm going to get them gold or silver plated and make some jewelry out of them.

A few years ago, I blanked out and on the kitchen floor-couldn't move, I called '911' .After that, I decided I didn't want a locked door to come between me and them. I keep the front door unlocked. And as long as I have the car's key fob, I don't need the key.

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.

Timoc: I always depend on you for your great sense of humour!! Always in a good mood after reading your responses.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.
