Setting up an Orbitkey Key Organizer takes five minutes: Loosen the screw on the locking mechanism, thread 2 to 7 keys onto the shaft, attach the washers to the end, and tighten the screw again until it clicks into place and the keys can be unfolded with slight resistance. Car keys and key fobs go on the D-ring. Common mistakes (tightening too much, forgetting the knurled disc, incorrect order) and which accessories really belong in the set are explained here, step by step and with the manufacturer\u2019s measurements. We carry all models and accessories on the Orbitkey brand page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Preparation: Which keys fit in the Orbitkey Key Organizer?<\/h2>\n\n

Orbitkey specifies two measurements you can check on your key before you begin. The hole in the key head must be at least 4 mm in diameter, and the key must be no more than 67 mm long from the hole to the tip (68 mm for the Key Organizer Pro). Apartment, house, and mailbox keys almost always fall within these limits. The Organizer is designed for standard keys that are 2 mm thick. Thick security keys with plastic heads, remote-controlled keys, and car keys do not fit in the stack; the D-ring is there for them. <\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s a good idea to sort through your keys before putting them in the organizer. Orbitkey recommends putting only the keys you use daily or weekly into the organizer. The basement key, which you need twice a year, stays at home. The classic model holds 2 to 7 keys, while the Pro model holds 3 to 9. If you have more than that, you\u2019ll need the extension\u2014see below for details. <\/p>\n\n

Step by Step: Setting Up Orbitkey Key Organizer<\/h2>\n\n

Inside the box are the organizer, a quick start guide, and a second corrugated disc. The first one is already attached to the shaft. The corrugated discs are small, corrugated metal discs that, according to Orbitkey, provide tension and keep the keys in line so that each one can be unfolded individually. <\/p>\n\n
