KEY-BAK Key Spider Key Chain Accessory with 5 Split Rings, Chrome Finish

I had an old one of these that I got FREE at a trade show. It was showing some wear, but still worked. I bought this as a refresh, but bad choice. It seems just as sturdy as my old one, but after just a few days i realized that some of the keys unlocked themselves from the body. Luckily the detached keys were in my pocket. Then it happened again and again, dropping some of the keys when I removed them from my pocket. I needed this to be secure, but it is anything but. It was just a waste of $$$$, went back to my original and have not dropped any keys since.

Seemed to work fine for about a month and then keys started falling off of it in my pocket, when I pull them out, at the door, etc. Thought it was the latch accidentally opening, but it turns out there is a tiny amount of play between the two halves--just enough for a key to detach. A keychain only has one job to do and this one fails at it.

I got this in May because I like having all of my keys with me throughout the day, but wanted to be able to pull off just the apartment key when I went cycling. This fit the bill perfectly.Fast forward to now (March, less than a year later). A few months ago I noticed that every once in a while when I pulled the key chain out of my pocket one of the rings would stay in the pocket. Sometimes it would come out with my hand, but fall to the ground because it was no longer attached. This is obviously a problem, since you can lose keys that way and not even realize it until much later. The problem has only gotten worse. At this point at least one ring has fallen off about 80% of the time the key chain comes out of my pocket, so I check and count each and every time for now (I'll be replacing this with something else very soon).At first I thought the spring on the mechanism was wearing out, but a closer examination reveals that the two sides are coming apart. I assume they are screwed together and the screw is loose, but there appears to be no way to access such a screw.

I carry a lot of keys where I work. The amount of keys in one pocket tend to poke holes in them. I adapted this key bank with a lanyard attached to a key ring clip then slide it through my belt that way not all the weight of the keys settle into the bottom of my pocket. It helps sort my personal keys from my work keys and allows me to pull off only the keys I need with out worry of dropping them on the ground. Others have seen this and thought it was a great idea that they could use. Price was reasonable and well constructed. Thanks.

After I put all my keys on the tiny keychains I loved it and was so excited. 10 minutes later I picked up my keys and half of my keys fell off the center holder. I have returned it, this product does not work.
