KeySmart Key Carabiners - Quick Release Dual and Mini Carabiners, Stay Organized w/Carabiner Keychains, Never Lose Your Keys

I bought a Keysmart a year ago for myself because it seemed like a better solution to the problem of having many keys on a key ring or carabiner. The Keysmart serves the purpose well. Keysmart is a simple device whose design is the result of good common sense. The two sides are punched from thin aircraft aluminum sheeting and finished with rounded edges and powder coating. Wear parts are stainless steel for long life. Basically, the device sandwiches keys so that it operates much like a pocket knife or multi-purpose tool. Keys are held between the aluminum sides by bushings with inside threads to which endpieces are screwed in. Keys are separated on the bushing by thin fiber washers. These make possible an adjustable friction fit for how tight or how loose the keys are held. The system works well and is expandable with the purchase of a separate kit. If the keys on one end begin to fold out too easily, you just tighten the bushing on that side using a flathead scewdriver, knife edge, your fingernail or whatever. It’s all very simple. The optional Quick Disconnect is a great way to keep your vehicle key (with fob) separately attached to your other keys. It consists of a small figure 8 twin spring-loaded carabiner with a single positive locking lever which securely locks both sides. Then, when leaving your car for service (or lending it), a twist of the lever unlocks the carabiner, allowing you to detach the vehicle keys from the Keysmart. You car keys stay together on the carabiner until you reattach to the Keysmart. The Keysmart and the Quick Disconnect work well together as a key-keeper and organizer. Because I like it so well, I bought 3 Keysmarts to give to my sons and son-in-law for Christmas this year. Guys are always hard to buy for. I enjoy giving things that I myself use and like. So far, no complaints! 😊

seems to be functional and well built. works as a part of the larger key organizing system. i haven’t used it for the purpose i wanted when purchasing… my large auto key is now hanging out with the rest.

Good for the price. It is pretty tight to unlatch, so I use it as a permanent key attachment, not something I clip and unclip to my purse or trading keys like I do with my other carabiner that opens more easily. It stays locked well, I am not worried about losing keys.

I use these to attach my dogs tags to his collar instead of the traditional rings they give you at the vets. It makes it so much easier to change them out every year or to add never tags. Even with him rolling around outside they stay on thanks to the little lock this specific one comes with in the middle . Great option and I recommend buying!

I wanted a remote / keys connector that took up as little room in the pocket as possible. I only carry 2 or three keys but occasionally need to switch remotes so I need a quick connect. This is about the smallest thing I could find at about 1 1/2 inches long. I don't need any additional rings with this - the keys fit on one end and the remote on the other. If you carry a bunch of keys you'll need a ring to attach them to this device. The springs on either side are held fast with the little twist mechanism and aren't likely to come loose. Seems very sturdy. So far i'm very happy with this.

I got this to replace the quick disconnect clip I had when I initially got the KeySmart. This clip is a great improvement. My one complaint I had from the original was if the KeySmart which had my house keys on it were turned in a certain way, my car keys would unclip and fall to the floor. I really like the KeySmart system, so I just lived with it for the last couple of years. Then when I lost my clip, I went to order a new one and was happily surprised to see it had a lock. I've been testing it out all weekend trying to get it to slip out and so far so good. The design seems excellent, a simple twist of the lock blocks the spring clip from moving. Hopefully it's durable, since the lock is made of plastic. I'll try to remember to update the review if I notice the lock slipping.

I purchased this with hopes to attach my JEEP Keyfob to my brand new KeySmart. When it finally arrived 3 or 4 days after the actual KeySmart did (due to weird shipping policies) , it was too small to even get around the keyring portion of the fob. It seems pretty sturdy but it's more or less useless for the purpose I purchased it for. It would be great of KeySmart designed one with the same principles but had one end (or both) large enough to attach to today's more robust Keyfobs.

Works well.
