Don't post pictures of keys online, too easy to make a copy

While true generally, you go ahead and lemme know which one of those keys you’re gonna copy and what it’s gonna open.

One of those tags literally have an address and apartment number on them. And its key is in clear view.

It even tells where he is and what's his profession. 🇫🇮

And the company. Time to look up buildings managed by Isännöinti- ja tilipalvelu Karjalainen. Orimattila isn't that huge of a place.

Makes it awkward unlocking the phone at work, but at least it's secure

My wife does this with her key ring, using small plushies. It's larger than her smaller purses now, and she's aiming to add more.

Had a prior job that handed me dozens of keys to access the different buildings. It was a security measure in case one key gets lost it limits what the "students" can gain access to. The entire campus was essentially one open air prison that had a history of local trouble makers thrown into first before throwing them in jail. It was not a good place to work and honestly I would find it humiliating to have been there voluntarily with how they treated people.

Oh, fuck that. The first thing I do is pull every single key off of all of those rings, put them all back on one ring and then tag them appropriately.

I fucking hate shit like that

Dude one of those really big rings to put all the little rings on probably doesn't cost more than $2. I'd make the investment just to not have to look at that.

My mom has one from the late eighties on her front door in salty south Florida. Also they have a very nice security through obscurity feature in that disc detainer picks are still fairly rare.

Not just obscurity. It needs a fiddly custom tool that’s super easy to break and needs a ton of skill to use.

Why not? It's only "bad" compared to newer Abloys.

My parents still have one that's probably older than I am. I figured it's just some gimmick lock from back in the day that was marketed as "high security" because of the wierd looking key. They have a thing about this, y'know how some people have to have some kinda edge on the "rest of the plebs", can't just be normal and buy a normal lock, no they gotta buy.... this thing.

In Finland? yeah. When I lived in the city I had a safer one, but here in the boons it's exactly the model above. For the front door.

The new model has a cartel agreement not to copy them freely.

With these you never know how many keys are in rotation after a couple of tenants.

Looks like arranging them into an actual chain ⛓️ might make more sense. At least they wouldn't block each other.
