Key rings

The key stays on the bunch.

Sealed keyrings in solid stainless steel and flexible steel wire. Crimped with a tool — after that released only by cutting the ring.

Open stainless steel key ring with sealed closure
A unique serial number stamped into a stainless steel key ring

Every ring its own number.

The ring carries a unique number. That links a bunch of keys administratively to a position, a department or a person.

Stamped into the steel No sticker, no label. Still legible years later.
A flush closure No protruding parts to damage locks or surfaces.
Colour coding Five colours to separate bunches per building or team.

Stainless steel keyrings

One piece of steel, one number.

A solid 4 mm ring in brushed stainless steel. Press closed, crimp, and after that released only by cutting the ring.

Developed for use in the Security Asset Manager and the Keycontroller — and just as good as a key ring on its own. Supplied in packs of 10 per size.

Three tools.

Press closed, crimp, open. By hand, without power or settings. For the stainless steel keyring the closing and crimping tools are the minimum.

01 Press closed. The ring goes into the notch for its own size and is pressed closed until the ends meet.
Closing tool with notched profile for the five ring sizes
Closing tool One notch per ring size, from 1 to 4 inches.
02 Crimp. The closure is fixed permanently and becomes perfectly smooth. After that the ring can no longer be opened by hand.
Crimping tool with a yellow body for fixing the closure
Crimping tool Closes both stainless steel and flex keyrings.
03 Open. The only way to open the ring again: cut through it at the closure.
Cutting tool with a red body to cut through the ring
Cutting tool For stainless steel keyrings up to 4 mm.

Perfectly smooth once crimped.

No protruding edge, no seam for a key to catch on. The ring can be used all the way round and opens only with the cutting tool.

Flex keyrings

Flexes with you, closes just as hard.

The same five sizes and the same serial number, but with a braided steel wire instead of a solid bow. For keys with a small opening.

The flex keyring is closed with the same crimping tool as the stainless steel keyring — the closing tool is not needed here.

Cable 2.6 mm braided stainless steel
Closure 4 mm, smooth once crimped
Sizes 1" to 4", the same as stainless steel
Tags Aluminium 3 cm or acrylic 3 mm

Two tools.

The flex keyring has its own crimping and cutting tools: one to squeeze the closure shut, one to cut it open again.

01 Crimp. The closure is squeezed around both ends to a smooth finish, usable all the way round.

Flex keyrings

Five fixed sizes.

The same range of sizes as the stainless steel keyring, from 1 to 4 inches. The braided cable flexes, and once crimped the pressed closure is smooth and usable all the way round.

Morse keyrings

Closed by hand. Reusable.

A 4 mm stainless steel bow that clicks shut by hand into a plastic hub — without tools. Every hub has its own number.

For a new layout you replace only the hub; the bow stays in use. For situations where keys change regularly and a sealed ring goes too far.

From 10 rings Separate hubs from 25 pieces
Four Morse keyrings with bunches of keys, from a handful to a full bunch

Four models.

Three U-models for a handful up to a full bunch, and a round model of 8.5 cm. The same hub fits every model.

Four Morse keyrings to scale side by side: three U-models and the round 8.5 cm model

Round model 8.5 cm diameter KR8500

Bow 4 mm stainless steel. Minimum order 10 rings per model.

A hub per department.

The plastic hubs are available in various colours and every one carries its own number. Colour for the department, number for the records.

Does the layout change? Then you replace the hub and keep the bow. Separate hubs can be ordered in packs of 25.

Seven Morse hubs side by side in different colours, each with its own number

Rivet keyrings

Closed with a rivet.

Chromed steel of 2.5 mm. The ends are pressed together with pliers until the holes in the flat ends line up. A copper rivet goes through them, which you hammer tight on a solid surface.

Diameter Keys Order code

Flexible with coating

Thin, flexible, closed with a twist.

Steel wire with a plastic coating, for situations where a thinner ring is needed. Closing and reopening is done without tools, with a twist. If the ring has to stay closed, squeeze the closure with a pair of pliers.

Only the crimped stainless steel and flex keyrings are sealed: they make it visible whether the bunch has been tampered with.

Frequently asked questions about key rings.

  • That differs per version, and that is exactly the point. The stainless steel keyring and the flex keyring are crimped and afterwards open only with the matching cutting tool — so an opened ring is always a visibly opened ring. With the Rivet keyring the rivet has to be broken. The Morse keyring clicks shut by hand and can be reused. The flexible coated ring has a screw closure that opens to change keys: handy with a changing layout, but not intended as a seal.

  • Three versions carry a serial number: the stainless steel keyring and the flex keyring have the number stamped into the steel and use the same numbering system; on the Morse keyring the number is on the hub, and every hub has its own number. So the number belongs to the ring itself and not to a label that can fall off — which keeps the bunch of keys traceable. The Rivet keyring, the flexible coated ring and the separate steel wire set do not have a serial number. The comparison sets out what you get per version.

  • There are five fixed sizes, from one to four inches. How many keys fit depends on the thickness of those keys, so no fixed number can be given. If in doubt: print the product sheet at actual size and lay your current ring on it. With a quotation we will look with you.

  • For the stainless steel keyring, three: pressing closed, crimping and opening. By hand, without power or settings. The flex keyring has its own crimping and cutting tools, two pieces. The Morse keyring closes by hand and needs no tools. There is also a starter kit with rings, tools and ID sleeves in one case.

  • Once crimped the ring is perfectly smooth: no protruding edge and no seam for a key to catch on. For situations where a thinner ring is needed, or where locks and surfaces have to be treated extra gently, there is the flexible ring with a plastic coating.

  • All five sizes are in stock, in packs of 10 per size. Let us know which size and how many rings you need and we will send a quotation.
