Re: Handling the Emergency Key

Any tampering to get the key out should be noticeable anyone done this? That’s what we do. It’s covered in tape, signed, then covered in clear tape. Just being in my pocket with the keys will wear it out over a few months, but then we just do it again. That way I always have a key with me, and it’s very tamper-evident.

Mine is inside a signed and sealed envelope. The envelope lives in the inside pocket of my winter vest, which has actually not been moved from my truck since early Spring. I rarely think about it. If I go anywhere I usually take my truck, otherwise, if we take hers we are together anyway and she has the key. Occasionally I take hers without her but even then I don't usually think about it. It's been there, in the same envelope, for nearly 20 months now.

Mine is sealed in clear packing tape with a dated piece of newspaper from the day it was sealed. I keep it in my wallet. Works perfectly. I have only needed the key on rare occasion (i.e., an escaped ball:o )

The key I carry is in one of there boxes: She signs the inside back cover and the outside front cover, when placed together they lock and can break the box easy if needed plus if I am in a accident or something the "for emergency only" may tip them off than looking in my wallet. Lol My wife keeps her set in plan sight in a bubble mailing package, sealed and signed across the flap.

We keep his spare key on his keyring, wrapped and signed. It is not noticeable, and he has had to use it one time. (Unplanned, emergency medical appt).
