Compact Key Holder & Keychain Organizer (up to 8 Keys)

Update: 2-29-20It is still working really well. I added a 32GB key shaped flash drive to remove my old one off the keyring. The Keysmart is still holding strong though. I unfortunately broke a key trying to lock a deadbolt, while it was in this, and even though the key broke this didn't break a sweat. I'd give this a full 5 stars now but I was reminded again of the rage inducing frustration this causes when adding/swapping out keys. I also got the Keysmart beltloop/pocket accessory to connect it all to. Added new pic to showOriginal: 10-5-19I just received this today 10-5-19 but I do have some insight I can share.Installation:I decided to add 5 keys (the ones I use the most) to test this. Unfortunately, nothing is permanently held together on this. So the posts (hollow threaded half) and bolts are just separated by the plates.Those posts have to hold everything in place: the plates, keys, spacers, attachments etc together until you get the screws in. I would compare putting it together with that of a house of cards. The posts are short (you could probably fit 4 keys without an issue) but you can add more keys past those. The problem comes when you go to add a key past the end of the post. Once you add anything past it it just floats there until you hopefully line it all up (including the other plate) and stab the screw through. Unless it's stacked up perfectly it falls apart.After you get it through it does hold everything together very well.Also - I highly suggest using the included spacers so the keys don't stick together.If this helped you please mark it as such. Thanks

One of the reasons I like the KeySmart is that I ordered another brand of compact key organizer first (and returned). You'd think one is pretty much the same as the others, right? I was surprised to find out that this wasn't so.I edited this review to add my experience with what sound like the most common complaints: assembling it and screws coming loose:* Assembly. I understand that it's tricky to get stuff together for the first setup, and once you have it set up, you may need to rearrange some things. But as soon as I ordered it, I received an email with a link to a video that explained precisely how to set it up the easiest way. Maybe this is something that KeySmart has only started recently, but if that's not the case, I don't understand how some reviews claim that there are no instructions.* Loosening screws. I don't understand this one, either. The keys only come in contact with the *stationary* posts because the screws that loosen/tighten thread inside the stationary posts, so I don't understand how moving a key can affect the screw tightness at all. Maybe the screws aren't tight enough to begin with? Bottom line, I have had ZERO problems with screws loosening.OK, now time for my review...What do I *not* like? I think it's a little chintzy that a bottle opener is optional. But that's it for the "room for improvement" section.What *do* I like?1) The washers are made from a thin, firm, fiber material. The result is that you have room for more keys (because the washers are thin) and the keys sit firmly parallel to the other keys. Another brand had thicker, squishy rubber washers that left some keys sitting at an angle and interfering with the keys on the opposite side.2) Nice streamlined design. No silly stuff like wrenches or "mobile phone holders" in the outside plates.3) Lightweight! Crazy - I didn't think this would make much of a difference, but the other one I bought (and returned) was stamped steel or something, and the weight difference was surprisingly significant.4) The back posts are knurled, and don't turn when you tighten the screws into them.5) The quality of the materials is much better. And you can order replacement parts if necessary. Maybe I'm naive, but unlike some of the knock-off brands, I feel like this company will be there for a while, and not on to make the next cheap knock-off item after they sell out the production run of this one.

I had a knock off brand for a few years. After that finally kicked the bucket, i decided to spend a bit more and go with the higher quality original KeySmart. The build is obviously superior because the paint chipped off my old one almost immediately. Unfortunately, mine seems to have the same problem other people have mentioned, the screws loosen weekly with daily use. Luckily, I've read the reviews and haven't had the screws come out and keys fall everywhere yet, but I fear it'll eventually happen. You can kind of tell when it's going to occur because the keys get super loose to the point where you can jsut tighten with your thumb. The downside to tightening is that the keys become super tight and hard to swing out. So, you are left with the dilemma of whether you want your keys secure and difficult to swing out or loose and potentially having all your keys fall out and be lost?I really love the idea and just wish the screws were more secure, but when tightened it wouldn't make it so difficult to get the keys to swing out.

I wouldn't suggest you buy this. I was taken in at first but actually it makes it more difficult to get at your keys. Its just generally annoying to use, but it does neaten things up. I guess it comes down to personal preference, but more often than not I wished I had stuck with my old dis-organised key ring. A few weeks in and I changed back.

Unfortunately, this keyholder is not universal as indicated in the packaging (perhaps in the U.S. it is), and therefore not fit for purpose.

Ordered it Saturday via Prime and delivered midday the following day. Envelope sized cardboard packaging so could be posted by courier quite easily.Simple anodised aluminium product which appears well made. It doesn't look much for £20 but at least it appears to be well engineered.Basically it's like a pocket knive without blades and you unscrew the two screw heads with something like a one penny piece and find a number of washers that go between each key.It is rather fiddly to set up and you need to think how you want you keys to be ordered. It you don't you end up dismantling it over and over unt you get it right. Being fiddly to do it's worth just stopping and thinking.I selected the red product from a drop down box which suggested you could house up to eight keys. I can only manage a maximum of six keys so cannot see how another two would squeeze in. There is a keyring hook that comes with it but that takes the space of one key.....I gave used Yale keys and another square Yale variation, which is larger, as well as a small locker key.Once assembled it's quite nice to have them all compact and neat. They don't seem to come loose but the 1 pence is always worth using to tighten up.It's a bit pricey but it seems to work well. And in my case I reviewed what I was carrying about everywhere and it resulted in me ditching ten surplus keys.

Terrible peice of equipment. It kept falling apart

I like the idea of this product, but assembly is very fiddly. It does seem to hold fewer keys than it states without a clear message that the number will depend on the type of key you have. I have 4 keys on my 3-8 key device and I doubt I could squeeze any more on. Others have commented that the brass "chubb" type keys take up a LOT of room on this and that is a bit of a problem for some. Fortunately I don't have any like this.The tightness of the screws takes some adjusting after you've used it once or twice as you'll learn how easy or hard it is to get the keys out. Too tight and you'll never get the key out, and too loose and they'll fall all over the place and defeat the object.The included hook for car fobs is a good extra, but I'd like to see some parts of the expansion pack included as standard.
