Where to Store the Spare Car Key?
2 Answers
Spare car keys can be stored in a small stone compartment on the roof rack of the car. This method provides some assistance and is relatively convenient. However, minor modifications may be needed to prevent the key from getting wet in the rain. Nowadays, most parking areas are under dual surveillance from cameras and dashcams, significantly reducing the likelihood of theft. The difference between a spare car key and the primary key lies in their types: the primary key is a remote control key that can unlock doors and open the trunk remotely with the press of a button within proximity of the car; the spare key, on the other hand, is a mechanical key, functioning as a standard unlocking tool.
That's a great question. I think most people would keep their spare car keys in a drawer at home or a key box by the entrance. Personally, I'm used to placing a small box in a fixed spot in the living room—specifically the second drawer of the TV cabinet—so family members can easily find it when they need to use the car. Just remember not to hide it too well. Last week, a friend of mine tucked the spare key inside the thickest book on the shelf and ended up forgetting which book it was exactly. If you're worried about kids getting their hands on it, you could place it on a high shelf in the bedroom wardrobe or inside the kitchen wall cabinet. Also, I recommend sticking a note with the owner's phone number on the key, so if it gets lost and someone finds it, they can contact you.
