    My game room is growing, but i need a spot to hang my keys! Its a good problem to have but interested in a solution from you pinheads!
    Would be cool if i could have labels to swap out over each key set, and not interested in a lockbox.

    Thx!

    Get locks keyed alike. Problem solved.

    #3 4 years ago

    Key all of your games the same. Then you only need one key!

    #4 4 years ago

    I thought of that... even thought of getting rid of keys all together. But I kind of like the visual of a key rack in the game room.
    Just seeing if anyone else has done it in a pleasingly aesthetic way.

    Put thumb locks on. Pinball life cheapest, under $4

    #6 4 years ago

    I did put keys on a plaque I made, with fobs from the games. I'll take a pic when I'm home

    #7 4 years ago

    If you dont hav original fobs, u can make a piece from broken plastics if you have any around

    #8 4 years ago

    Great idea!

    #9 4 years ago

    Somewhere on here I saw a cool wooden Bally sign that was a key ring holder

    #10 4 years ago

    I'm lookin for a broken plastic from sinbad, have fobs from all other games

    #11 4 years ago

    Here is what I built. I was in the same position and did not want a lock box. This is working well for me. Got all the parts from Home Depot

    Noice!
    I dont have that many keys....yet.

    #13 4 years ago

    Here’s mine. Can’t remember who makes these but thought I found it here or maybe Facebook. Hangs above the steps going down into my basement.

    I take a small magnet and put it on a t-nut near the power switch under the game and hang the keychain off of it.

    My favorite key solution, if you insist on keeping keys is these things on the back of the leg: https://www.amazon.com/Magnetic-Maximum-Neodymium-Corrosion-Protection/dp/B0787Q54M1/ref=sr_1_3

    Then you don't have to go anywhere to get them. You don't get the wall-art piece that way, but - enh, frame a copy of each flyer for the games you have and put those up.

    #19 4 years ago

    I also do the magnet on a leg bolt at the back of the cabinet.

    Or just hire a girl to hold your keys (and maybe wear a bunny costume):

    Those keychains rock

    I just used an old playfield.

    I do the same as epthegeek magnet key ring on the back side of the legs. Easy to find when you need them, and less clutter.

    My wife and boys made this for me a few years ago for Father's Day. I'm very proud of it. I have gone with a thumb lock on a few games and am very happy with that solution too.

    So awesome they made this for you but I would fear they are giving you a hint by only proving 4 hooks. Lol

    Here is a Pinball Key Chain Rack, I came up with. It is a wooden shield with gold scroll work and Gold Foil lettering "Pinball Keys ". Sorry for the crappy pics.

    There is other cool stuff in the gameroom decor section. Thanks for looking . Chuck

    Unless you are worried about kids, what's wrong with keeping the keys in the lock in the coin door? It doesn't get any more convenient than that.

    #32 4 years ago

    I’ll be following this thread for ideas, I have a cup full of keys at the moment.

    The coin door flys open especially with new keys and locks.

    #34 4 years ago

    This is my solution. It's designed for keys.

    I'm surprised no one has screwed some old (or new) plastic posts and some flipper bats (for decoration) to a slab of wood to hang keys on.

    I'm in the process of putting together an old Bingo Playfield to hang keys off of.

    And if you have a Lord of the Rings pin, it's even more appropriate.

    Not if you pull the key out 1 notch.

    Then the keys fall out. We nudge in this household bro! Haha. Moot for me anyway. Kids here constantly.

    I found an old saw blade display that hangs nicely from my pegboard tool station.

    I just recently picked one of these up off Amazon. It’s nice quality and wasn’t too pricey. Not pinball themed (although maybe an idea for a new one?!) but who doesn’t love Zelda?! Although only 5 hooks

    If someone has specific ideas, I am sure I can custom make one. Requests ?

    #50 4 years ago

    Now we’re talking! Would definitely be interested!
