Keeping the Emergency Key Accessible While Locked Up

I recently asked one of my locked boys about the issue of carrying an emergency key on his person at all times. I brought up the scenario that if he was in a car crash and the paramedics needed to get his stainless steel chastity cage off of his genitals in order to administer treatment. We discussed it for a while and I came up with the idea of placing the key inside a pill box that attached to a keychain. See photo below. These aluminum canisters are designed to carry extra medication with you at all times, but I thought of using it as a container to store the emergency key to a chastity cage. I found one at Walmart for less than $3.00. I bought it thinking that it was a small investment for my experiment. The key for any standard luggage padlock will fit in this canister with no problem. I was thinking that the screw-on cap could be soldered closed, but upon some quick online research, I discovered that you cannot solder aluminum as the soldering wand gets too hot and will melt the aluminum. Some further online research brought up the idea of super glue. I put a few drops on the threads of the cap and screwed it shut. After the super glue had time to try/cure, I tried to unscrew the cap—no luck. I used a screwdriver in the key ring hole of the cap and a pair of vice grips around the barrel for leverage. It wouldn’t budge. I then took the vice grips and locked them on the cap and hammered the shit out of the barrel. All it did was crush the barrel. Finally, I was able to drill a hole through the barrel. As you can see by the second photo, there is no quick and easy way into this container. My final conclusion is that this is a very simple and cheap solution for the lockee to keep an emergency key on his person for true emergencies. Using my solution, there is no way into this container without evidence of tampering. The key will always be close by, but not easily accessible. The keyholder can demand physical inspection and/or regular photographic proof that the canister has not been tampered with. The only way into this thing is with a drill or a hack saw. I just thought I’d share my findings for those of you looking for a cheap but effective solution to a common problem. 41vrIAL95qL.SL500_AA300[1].jpg (12.56 KiB) Viewed 8835 times

You need to somehow mark it uniquely so they can't just replace it with an identical one that they got from Walmart. Good idea though. -A

Do you really expect an EMT to spend several minutes fussing with pliers to wrangle open a metal cannister? In 30 seconds, they will take the bolt cutters to the lock or the cuff ring. And what if your partner needed the key, but had no access to tools? You want it to be both secure *and* accessible. I think you might be safer looking for something that can be quickly broken open. There must be some clear plastic cases on the market that are small enough to go on a keyring.

Although, if personnel in the emergency room are going to have to get a drill or hacksaw out to open the canister to get at the key, then they'd probably just opt for bolt cutters to cut the lock off the device. I suspect the bolt cutters would be more readily accessible, too. Interesting idea, though. D

We have an emergency key which is kept when he goes away in a small jewellery box that is superglued shut (the type you get earrings in).The seal would be visibly damaged if he had to open it - which would just require slight force. If I thought I was going to have to spend my time creatively out-witting him about keyholding, I imagine I would quickly grow bored and hand him the key back. Keyholding- to my mind -is part of the symbolism of the game. If hub needs to pretend that I'm an evil prison warden locking him away against his wishes then cool, that's a fun game and I bet I can find dressing up clothes to match;-) but I'm not going to mess about welding boxes shut.

I made this in about 10 minutes out of a piece of copper pipe. If you spent even 20 minutes it could probably even look good. You probably wouldn't want to carry it in your pocket but it could be kept nearby. Image I got the idea from someone else, I think it was on thumpers site but cannot remember for sure. ETA: sorry about the crappy picture, it was actually to verify being locked up one time while my wife was away. -A

Atone's is great. That what I have, though mine's stainless and from Germany. Excellent design.

The copper pipe was on hand, easy to cut with a pipe cutter and dremel tool and quick. I have a pill case similar to the one shown above that is made out of stainless. I might drill a hole through that to accept an auth tag, that would be a little more refined. Still wouldn't be from Germany though. -A

Combine the 2 ideas. Use the pill canister from Walmart, looks good, but cross drill it thru the thread area for a plastic security seal.

Thanks for all of the informative posts. Some great ideas floating around. OK, maybe the EMT scenario I provided was a poor example and bolt cutters would be faster for them. I guess my main motivation for the aluminum pill box idea was to give the locked boy a way to keep the key with him at all times. Making it fairly easy to get to, but not too easy during a moment of weakness--especially without leaving evidence of tampering. The aluminum canister is durable enough that it will last a long while. As we all know, things attached to key rings are subjected to a lot of abuse. Other examples provided (using a numbered plastic lock) would not be feasable to be carried on a key ring or in the pocket on a regular basis because the plastic lock would break too easily. The aluminum canister can be easily etched with someting uniquely identifiable that cannot be easily duplicated--thus preventing the boy from buying another pill box and trying to pawn it off as the original containing the key. Thanks again for the feedback and the great ideas. That's what these forums are meant for!

This is something that has come onto our field of play. As we are about to change from a device that is only worth the time it took to fashion it from bits and bobs at the Home Depot to something that is 'reassuringly expensive' there would be a greater cost than mere embarrassment to having it removed in a Trauma Dept. As has been pointed out above; if they need it off, they'll take it off and give you back the pieces if you wake up. However, I'd suggest that unless the device itself was the cause of the problem (either through improper sizing or chronic lack of hygiene) you'd be very unlikely to have to reveal your kink on anything relatively minor. Of course there is always the chance of needing a catheter or MRI scan but at worst you'll be the next coffee break "Guess what we had" tale until another Barbie doll head needs to be found. Given the rarity of serious injury is there really a need for an E-key?

I've not needed one recently, but I do have one. It's very simple- the Key is in an envelope she signed across the flap and then taped.

Mods: Can this thread be merged with the archived discussion and posted here? They appear to be considering the subject of chastity safety from different directions but asking the same questions.

Agreed and this one the archived discussion sounds like we are all thinking about the same thing at the moment.

I think Atone improved the design... But, here is what we use for an emergency key: Simple to make as its just a piece of copper pipe... pounded a bit flat to make the key fit and make it fit better in a pocket. With a hole drilled through it...

Not sure if this would work when it was warm outside. What about placing the key in the container, screw it shut. Now take a colored candle and melt it all around the container where the grooves are. Let dry. Just like in old days when letters were sealed this way. If the seal is broken, chances are the key was removed. A daily inspection will ensure the key remains safe. If opened the container could be cleaned easily with warm water, soap and a nail brush, reseal and start again.:?: Even easier. buy some stick on labels. The keyholder puts it around the container after she signs it. If the container is opened the seal will be torn.

... t/29-00101 sells a simple box that has to be broken in order to get to the contents for only $6.25 and you may be able to find it cheaper yet. So why go through the effort of constructing things when a solution is cheaply at hand

> member_7957b261e0 wrote:So why go through the effort of constructing things when a solution is cheaply at hand Because the commercial key keepers are usually too big to carry around conveniently. My wife wraps my key in tamper-evident tape, and I can put the key with my normal car keys that I'm always carrying around. The small pipe holders (pictured upthread) can be made small enough to be unobtrusively carried around in a pocket. The plastic cases are a bit large, and when most of us carry keys, wallets, loose change, cell phones, etc., it's ungainly to have something that size in your pocket.

We found a way to keep the key avil for an emerency, but it's not avil without some work. I'm not sure if you remember those "Liquid Plastic kits" we had as kids way back when...???? I found one of these kits at a garage sale, and in one of the shallow molds I inserted the key, with a key chain outside of the plastic. So instead of some insect sealed on my key ring.... I have my key, should something happen. NOBODY even pays attention to the key chain, mixed in with my work keys. I am sure I could get the key out with just a blow from anything solid. I think dipping the key in soft rubber coating would do the same and would be barely noticable on a key ring.

I kind of like this idea. You KH could even put a stamp or some kind of ID mark before the plastic sets to make sure that you haven't tampered with the coating.

The key could be secure by folding a small piece of paper. The edges cold be glued shut and the key holder sign the paper. It would only have to be a little bit bigger than the key. This can easily be kept in a wallet. If the paper was ripped open in an emergency, the key holder would know.

I'm going to be keeping my emergency key in my car. We'll also keep one in her car. Each key is in a sealed envelope, and I even melted some wax and put it over the seal, then used an item in the house that I found to use as a stamp. I gave her that item and told her to hide it so I couldn't remake that envelope at a later time. What do you guys think of that method?

I carry a spare key in my wallet. I took a self adhesive mailing label and folded it in half with the key inside. I then cut it down to the size of a business card and had my wife write a note on it and sign it. I wrapped the key in a small piece of plastic from a baggy first so the adhesive wouldn't stick to it. The label adhesive stuck to itself it never coming apart so there is no way to open it without destroying it. So far this has worked fine and has held up to the everyday wear of being in my wallet.

I've always wanted to try putting the key between two pieces of paper and running it through a laminating machine. It could be cut to the size of a business card and then it can be easily kept in my wallet. Before laminating it my keyholder can sign the paper with the date, so you can easily tell if it's been tampered with. I have access to a laminating machine at work but I don't want to end up breaking it and having to explain why I was laminating a key:)
