How it works
Four moves. No key ring.

The cover runs on rails and clicks shut, so it stays closed in your pocket.
Pick
6 keys, each in its own pocket. You see them all at once.
Click
The key's tab locks into the end of the card.
Turn
The whole card is the handle. Wide and easy to grip.

FAQ
Quick answers
Which keys fit?
Keys for locks that use the Kwikset (KW1) or Schlage (SC1) keyway: most house, office, mailbox and padlock keys from those brands. It isn't made for car fobs, chip keys or high-security keys.
Do I use my old keys?
No. The Key Kard uses its own slim brass blades, cut to match the keys you already have.
How do I get my keys cut?
We're planning a Cut & Ship option: send your key codes or photos and get your Key Kard back with the keys cut and ready. Or take the blanks to a local locksmith.
When can I get one?
You can preorder now in the Shop. The working prototype is being built now and orders ship when production begins. We'll email you the ship date.
How much does it cost?
The early-bird preorder is $45, and a 6-pack of KW1 key blanks is $10. Final retail pricing is set at launch.
Is it real?
The design is finished in CAD and every image on this page comes from that model. We'll post real prototype photos and video before the Kickstarter goes live.
What do you do with my email?
We only use it to tell you about the launch. We don't sell or share it, and you can ask to be removed anytime.
