Been entrusted to supply keys to personnel here. OEM keys are $$$$, Especially when in quantity.
On some equipment (ones without compartment locks), I've changed the keyswitch over to Deere (yellow).
Some keys I have to cut.
Some I still have to buy OEM (Abloy comes to mind).
Have to mark every key.
Key straps prove hard to source.
Carabiners with hole for ring prove hard to source.
Safe harbor parts had some pre cut. Most keys could be stamped. Had to melt "yanmar" into plastic key head.
Just finished 50 sets...willing to share info, and looking for better ideas.
Do you provide full sets to employees?
Do you have source(s) for precut for under $1.50ea?
Do you stamp your keys?
Do you add a fob?
Do you add a hook (carabiner)?
