Keys tend to grow legs and walk away on their own if you’re not careful of where they are put down. A key hanger is a good place to keep track of them, so they are always where you need them. And if you get a hanger that doubles as an organizer you don’t have to waste space for just one purpose. Here are several different key hangers in a variety of designs to help you stay organized and keep track of your keys.

TWONE White Cloud Magnetic Key Holder

Never miss the hook

The magnet is strong enough to hold scissors and small tools, so it will be hard to not have your keys stay put.
