Always Losing Your Keys?: 7 Weird Ways to Keep Track of Your Car Keys

Do you always find yourself in a rush but always losing your car keys? Don’t fret, it happens to everyone. In fact, Americans spend as much as $2.7 billion a year in replacing these misplaced items.

Surely there must be a better solution, right? How do we remedy this kind of problem?

Don’t worry, we’ve got a guide right here for you. Here are some measures that you can try to track them or make sure that you remember where your car keys are:

1. Have a Designated Place for Them

This weird approach may border towards the obsessive-compulsive side but it does wonders when your body and mind know where you designate your items. This applies to house keys and car keys in general.

By designating a spot where you always have the keys placed, you will go there first by instinct. It will also be the first area to search.

2. Keyholders Can Help

Another thing to have is a keyholder. You can be a bit personal with this or go towards the functional route with key clasps against your belt. As long as you have something that can hold your important keys together, it should be easier to remember where they are.

3. Nametags on Keys

Whether these are car keys or house keys, having labels on them should help you out. You can have keys grouped together and identified by means of purpose. You can also choose to leave either your phone number or name (while it may sound risky), to ensure that anyone who finds it can contact you about your keys.

4. Use a Lanyard for Both IDs and Keys

Group important things together, especially if you are using a car key fob or so. By grouping your ID and your keys together, you don’t have to look further than your lanyard. This also makes your keys accessible and easy to use without digging into your pockets.

5. Make them Stand Out

One reason people lose track of keys is the fact they look the same. Monitor them better by making them stand out. Some people customize the keys with unique colors or adding stickers.

6. Put Trackers on Them

In this case, consider using tags on your keys that can help you track them using your phone or mobile device. For example, Tile has a number of items that you can use for your keys and car fobs that allow you to track them in case you lost them.

7. Always Have a Backup

Always make sure you have a spare or backup key. If you are using a keyless entry car, you can get a spare key fob that is compatible with the format you use. Consider looking at certain locksmithing services that can help you with getting a recognizable backup key fob.

Keep Your Car Keys Closer Than Ever!

With these tips and methods, you can make sure that you will not have a hard time looking for your car keys again. Try these out and make it a point that these car keys are close to you as your important items should be.
