Keys keys and more keys
Discussion
Yep used to have a single key for all front and back doors but new back doors don't take proper mortice locks.
It's the find more than anything. It's my fault for not buying the gate and garage electric trickery from the same place but just couldn't get the gate person to give me a price on the garage door

te hanging bundled together. It's like cushions, something I clearly just don't understand.Can't stand bulky keyrings, so I have our single front door key on its own keyring. Car keys are on separate keyrings, just pick up the one you need. If I need to unlock the back doors, or the shed, or the bike store, I get the key from inside.
I don't have luxuries like electric gates or garage but if I did I suspect I'd keep a fob in each car.

House keys are separate from car keys. Keys for each car are kept separate. Easy.
Absolutely this don't put more than 1 key in a ignition switch as the weight can cause switch issues which are expensive and inconvenient. Motorcycle keys unless done like this will damage the top yoke and surround too .

Can't keep fobs in the westy 😉I don't have luxuries like electric gates or garage but if I did I suspect I'd keep a fob in each car.
Just had a reorganisation as suggested and separated house and car keys. See how long it is until I lose my house keys because they aren't attached to the car.
Jesus christ, really OP?
I also have electric gates and and electric garage. It's simple - house keys and electric fobs on one bunch. Each car key kept separate.
Whichever car I go out in, I take the house keys and put them in a cubbyhole in the car once I'm done with them, so I only carry one small key around with me when out and about.
It's not rocket science!

I only carry the key or keys for whichever car I'm driving at the time.
Some of them only need the remote / ignition key. Others require a few more, such as the 3 required for my Mustang or the 8 required for my motorhome where the manufacturer decided that a separate lock and key type for each functional element was the best way forward.
Front door is a Yale Connexis, so only a phone app is required for that.

Years ago, when I was driving a Caterham, I pulled out of the slip lane onto a fairly busy three lane motorway and very shortly after was making progress in the outer lane when everything stopped - the engine just turned off.Motorcycle keys unless done like this will damage the top yoke and surround too .
More by luck than judgement I managed to thread my way through gaps in the traffic onto the hard shoulder, and there discovered that the weight of keys on my key ring had turned the ignition off. I always kept car and house keys on different rings after that.
I have my ‘essential keys on one bunch (5 keys) which generally lives in my pocket, I had a spare front door key cut and attached to a secure clip for nights out, went to get it recently to find it had not only been commandeered but the handy clip had been filled with her key ring ornaments ffs.
Work in a factory where electrical panels vary from 40 years old to brand new with no one ensuring same key policy is used.
2 large panel keys, 12 small, 4 regional toolbox keys, switch room key, site ladder guard key, stores key and oil store key.
D clip on belt loop to carry the bloody things.

Front & back door use the same key
I never thought of that! Excellent idea.Car keys and motorbike keys all have a keyring each (plus the spare of each) with a house key one them.
Garage keys, garage alarm remote and keys for all the myriad chains and locks on the bikes all live on a separate keyring - there's a lot on that one (and to avoid risk only one of that set exists in case we get burgled - it's in my rucksack next to my desk at the moment).
I often think to myself that if everyone was honest wouldn't it be great - no keys.
