Compact Van Keys

easier way to protect the design...do some drawings, give it a name, title it on the drawing, put your name on it, fill out the forms and file a copyright on the design. Last time I did this, I think it cost like 20 or 25 bucks. The whole patent process runs into the $thousands.

i could make them the only thing is not having your keys to cut and modify and thank you it brought my spirits up

You see LB, That was part of the problem with the linked design that I shared. The modifications to the keys. What if it could be made in kit form, where the S screw were smaller, diameter wise to fit thru an existing key opening. Then their would be no drilling or modifying the keys. The body of the device could be made more like a dog bone, in shape. And rather than having all keys flip out of one side, 2 could flip from one side and 2 could flip from the other. You could incorporate a teflon washer in between the keys to give them some resistance to flipping out on their own. The unit could hold 4 keys (standard size) or up to 8 keys (jumbo size). Additional teflon washers could be sent out with the unit to take up empty key spots. The dog bone sides could be engraved with just about anything. Colored or not. The list goes on. You can do this. People have gotten rich off of great ideas for quite awhile now. Good Luck, and like I said before, I would like to order two.

Thanks, Jim

well i will see what can be done one the fact that the keys dont have to be modified or even find that can be ordered with the right size hole in it and about the dog bone type shape i will make one and post pics and see how it works

i just got done looking at that keyport thing closer and honestly it is pretty bad ass they have specialized keys for you and everything. If i had the resources and money to do it i would but i am thinking about buying one just to get some sort of idea for it it is only $100 maybe $15o tops but i still might get it

Ah Timeless,

What an answer...

Good to see ya, Jim

I'm just compensating for the fact that I can't make a cool key tool like that.
It actually looks like something I would use.

Good to see ya too, Jim.

i am too poor to put a remote system in my van or afford push button combination locks so i made this and i am still looking into the keyport thing

my keyless entry doesnt work anymore and because i never used the actual key in the door before they really dont work either, so you could do what i do an leave it unlocked with the keys in it at all times, doesnt get much more compact. i know i could probably spray some grease in my locks to make them work but frankly i dont care.

Grumpy only had one lock tumble that worked when I bought it, the back door and yes I keep my $250 van locked. Regular treatments with PB Blaster eventually freed them all up.

well i used to do that but i got my ipod stolen from my van luckily whoever did it didnt notice the keys in and steal my van too and i hated carrying my keys around but this makes it easier for me
