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!

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.
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

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.

Brilliant!
Quoted from swampshroom: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.[quoted image]
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

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

I have 3 kids under 5... get my drift?
Lol
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.
Quoted from Dantesmark:I like the magnet idea... maybe the kids wont find it???
I have a couple friends that have these on the inside of the front leg of their games.
RAM-PRO 3-Pieces 3 Inch Plastic Hide-A-Key, Lock Box, Key-Holder, to Store a Spare Key for your Home, Storage, Office, Vehicle, with Strong Rear Magnetic Base https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M3Y32HZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_c.3VDb9E4210T
Now we’re talking! Would definitely be interested!
Quoted from modfather:If someone has specific ideas, I am sure I can custom make one. Requests ?
