Key Finder Pair, Indisputably the Loudest with Long Life Replaceable Battery

I have had the KeyRinger brand for years, and I love mine! Yes, NICE and loud, adjustable, and things are findable many feet away, though many of the walls of my home or business (sometimes I have to walk around a little...) For the past several years it has been the XL model. A few years ago I took the time and patience to learn how to assign a number to each and "set" them: then I have an entry in my phone contacts where all the labels are listed, and the URL for the website for calling them. My car keys are #1, office keys are #2, purse is #3, and so on. I pair my insulated stainless steel tumblers for coffee and for ice water with Gearproz HydroNet carriers and keep track of those too. The customer service is great for Keyringer--someone even answers the phone or responds to email and coaches you through. I had to have a warranty replacement once...but wow, a TWO year warranty for an electronic gadget is generous. I have some working well that I have had for years (yes, keep those batteries up--but even they last quite long in the newer KeyRingers...typically a year or more). One of my KeyRingers wore out after probably four or five years of use--understandable--I cheerfully went online and ordered some more to support this business and as one of the best bargains of my life.

I love this device, but now I like it even more1. You see, I lost my keys the other day, just days before a trip to my home in Mexico. If I couldn’t have found them, I’d have had to cancel my trip. So, I got out the Key FInder device and pressed its button twice. It went off, but I didn’t get a response to it. So, I hit it again, it made an unexpected sound and died! further double presses of its button produced nothing! I was pretty freaked out, as I had no idea what I could now do to find them. The lady, who sits my house, and I searched for 2 hours, and nothing! So, I gave up and went to Amazon to see if there was a warranty o the Key Finder. I not only learned that there was a warranty, but I also managed to find a phone number for the makers of it, as well as doing a web search and finding their web site. So, I tried to call them, but only reached voice mail. I left a message there, and I also sent one through the message portal I found there. Not 15 minutes later, I got a call from a guy who, I suspect, is the designer of the device & the founder of the company. He explained to me that these devices work by actually ‘listening’ for the tones that one hears when the button on one is double clicked. The other one hears that tone, and responds with the same tone, so it can be located. He also pointed out a page at his web site, where one can click on a link, and whatever device you’ve accessed that web page with, if the device has the ability to produce audio, will generate the necessary tones, so the Key Finder will hear it and respond! So, I got out my smart phone and went to his web site. When I clicked on the link, my phone emitted the needed tones. So, I began to search for the keys with it. But, I still got no response in the house, upstairs. So, I went down to the garage and tried it. I also got no response. But, then I remembered something the maker thad told me, about how he sometimes loses things , and his wife always asks him if he’s looked in the refrigerator! I remembered that I’d been showing my house sitter where she could find food, and that I’d opened the big chest freezer in the garage. So, I walked over to it, and as soon as I lifted the lid a crack, I could hear the thing going off! My keys were hiding under a bunch of Salmon fillets! So, not only is this a great device, but it has some of the best, most caring support, that I’ve ever encounter! They're sending me a replacement for my failed unit under their warranty. Plus, now that I know about the ability to use my Smart phone to locate one of them, I can use the 2nd one for a 2nd set of keys! No longer do I need to keep it in a drawer, where I can always find it! I’ve recorded that tone onto my Smart phone, so now I don’t even need to load the web site to use it! There is one caution I would give you - routinely change the battery in the units, and do it annually. They won’t be fully used up yet, but other devices that are less critical can then use them until they’re expired, so they don’t go to waste. You surely don’t want them to expire in the units, only to discover that, when you’re trying to find you lost keys! If the unit on the keychain has depleted its battery, you will not be able to locate them! In spite of that - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

As someone who often misplaces keys and other small items, I was eager to try the key finder pair. After struggling with the frustration of lost belongings time and again, I hoped this device would offer a reliable solution. Once I received it, I was curious to see how well it would perform in helping me locate my essentials quickly. One of the standout features is its loud alert, which truly lives up to the claim of being one of the loudest on the market. Whether my keys are buried in the couch cushions or hidden under a pile of papers, the sound cuts through the noise, making it easy to find them. I also appreciated the long-life replaceable battery, which means I won’t have to worry about running out of power anytime soon. This convenience is a major plus for someone constantly on the go. However, there are a couple of minor drawbacks I encountered. While the sound is indeed loud, the device can be a bit bulky, which may not be ideal for those looking for a more discreet option. Additionally, the range isn’t as far as I expected; it can sometimes struggle to connect if I’m in a different room. These issues didn’t greatly diminish its overall effectiveness, but they are worth noting for potential buyers. Overall, I believe the key finder pair is a valuable investment for anyone prone to losing their keys or other small items. The combination of a loud alert and long-lasting battery life makes it a practical solution for everyday use. Despite a few small inconveniences, it has certainly reduced my stress when searching for lost items. If you’re looking for an effective way to keep track of your essentials, this key finder is definitely worth checking out.

Sorry my inner Gen-X is showing. But honestly that is sort of the same premise of this gadget. A double-click on one finder plays a magic tune, and the other finder responds (just like Green Ranger summoning his Dragonzord with the Power Rangers flute). I guess its sort of related to the old Clapper (again, Gen-X) where you clap your hands to produce a sound and a light goes on - same vibe. Personally I refuse to use Bluetooth finders, because I've had my phone battery die in mere hours with Bluetooth perpetually on. And the RF finders I believe have lower effective range, although you can make the argument that since this is sound-based, in a noisy outdoor environment, or city street, it may not be able to "hear" the tune. But I love this. I made a shortcut on my cell phone for the KeyRinger webpage that has the "Call All KeyRingers" button so even if I lost both items with finders - I could just play the magic tune and they both start responding, and it really works! The sound does get increasingly loud. Yes I guess it could hurt your hearing if not turned off. It scares me a little bit that to deactivate the sound you have to successfully locate the loud one and press it. Imagine if it falls behind a fence or behind a heavy stove and you can't easily get to it. Then you're stuck with it ringing for 15 seconds. But if the point is to hear a loud sound to find an item, clearly this is mission accomplished. I really like this gadget, its a refreshing change from the Bluetooth, RF, and GPS SIM card type finders and trackers that is a welcome one. Its unique and straightforward technology that really works well provided your home or environment is quiet enough for the audible activation to work. I would probably want one even if I didn't need to find things (though I'm forgetful and do) just on the scientific premise alone - its just that cool.

If you've come to view this product because you misplaced your keys then you need these! Back in 2017 I finally decided to try these out. I needed them years ago. What was I waiting for? They are the loudest out there but if you just lose your keys in a small space and out in the open then you can adjust the volume down. If you have ever misplaced your keys in your pocket in a piece of clothing that you put in a laundry basket or under a couch cushion or in your basement or in the yard or garage or your car with the doors closed you will appreciate the loudness. If you own that McMansion or you like to survey your expansive property the loudness is also needed. Try them out first at high volume before adjusting down. Their range is an admirable 300 ft. If you have multiple people in your home that need these I think they offer to adjust to different frequencies on their website so everybody's key finder does not ring at once. Since I have an autistic who learned how to unlock the front door I need to keep keys away from her so she doesn't decide to go out on the swing set at midnight while I am sleeping or something crazy like that. That's why either the keys are on me or hidden but that makes them easier to misplace. Also I have a key on there that locks a closet where snacks are kept. She has occasionally found a key hiding place, absolutely raided the snacks and then tossed the keys. This product is essential for me. I use it weekly but some of my relatives are purely the absent minded type and misplace their keys. If that's you, don't hesitate, no shame, just buy these and then congratulate yourself the first time you use these. If they even save you one time from having to replace a high priced security key like a Medeco or an expensive vehicle key it will be worth it. They may save you from being late to church, to meet your date or some important appointment too. I don't quite understand the one review showing the interior of the unit and the difficulty of replacing the battery. The battery compartment is on the upper part of the back of the device! Yes, you need two hands to open it but that poster must have disassembled the unit from the front. Changing the battery is not that hard but yes, I use my reading glasses when I do it. The battery life is probably about as suggested based on my owning the product for 5 years. Supposedly it starts to light up and beep when the battery is down but since this product is crucial for me I change the battery yearly not to take chances. I don't have the original set I bought 5 years ago I did need to replace it since 2017 but the product is guaranteed for 2 years and their customer service is excellent.

I've bought this product 4 times because it works so well. I've bought the finders for my mother and sister, both of whom have a lot of trouble keeping track of things. These are connected to their cell phone cases and their keys; if either gets misplaced, locating the other is a piece of cake. BUT... when the battery dies on one of the finders, it's a BIG problem. It's VERY difficult to get into the battery compartment. One battery lasted so long, that I didn't mind too much paying for another set to replace them. But when the finder I bought last December stopped working, I was determined to replace the battery instead of buying another one. (I can't find the seller's contact info or I'd be calling them directly). I was finally able to get it open, with the help of my husband (he used a tiny screw to depress the buttons while I pulled the cover off). Then I replaced the battery, only to have it still not work. I would definitely like a replacement for the defective item. These things are not cheap.

I went to visit my father in March 2016 for his birthday. I purchased the KeyRinger as a gift for my father who is hard of hearing and sometimes misplaces his house keys or his mailbox key. He didn't seem thrilled at first to receive this as a gift and did not put them on his keys while I was there for two weeks. I chalked it up to be another gift he was not thrilled to receive from me. I went home and forgot about it and didn't mention the Keyringer again to him and he never mentioned it to me. Then in June 2016 I received a phone call from him with delight in his voice. He called to tell me that he had misplaced his mailbox key and used the Keyringer. He said that he pushed the Keyringer, but did not hear the return beeping reply from the missing Keyringer (attached to the mailbox key). He walked around the house and listened for a beeping reply and when he opened his bedroom door he could hear the Keyringer beeping loudly. The keys were in his sweats. He was relieved and was happy to have the Keyringer now. I asked him if this was the first time he lost his keys since I gave him the Keyringer in March. He said it was the first time because when he used his mailbox key, he would see the Keyringer on it and it always triggered his mind (he's 87) that he needs to put the mailbox key back in its place. So, even when the Keyringer wasn't being used to find his keys, it was equally reminding him to put his keys back. Then when he finally misplaced his keys, the Keyringer did its job and kept an old man from panicking, getting frustrated and upset. Because of Keyringer I finally got my father a gift he uses and likes (raising my arms in the air for victory). As a side note. I received the Keyringer quickly. I like that when I purchased the Keyringer, it had a 90 day return policy (no questions asked). Before giving it to my father who is hard of hearing, I tried it out. It was very loud to me and so I knew that my father would think it was loud and would be able to hear it. Also, it is very easy to use. I would recommend this to anyone who is hard of hearing or has parents that have hearing issues.

I have tried most of the so-called Key "Trackers" including TIle, Mynt and none of them worked with enough reliability for me to trust them. Most ate up batteries within a fraction of the time they claimed the batteries would last. Also, the others always relied on a Bluetooth connection which ate up my smartphone's battery. The Mynt was actually using 37% of my cellphone battery?? The KeyRinger uses sound to locate your keys, etc. You get 2 key fobs and pressing the button on one device will activate a sound signal and turn on the alert sound and flashing LED on the other if it's within 300 feet. It has much better range than BlueTooth which is only good for about 40 feet, and If the other device is out of range, you wouldn't hear it anyway. You can go to KeyRinger.com and you can get your cellphone, tablet or PC to emit the "Find" signal and the device will activate the sound signal to help you locate the device....but you must be within 300 feet. These devices are really loud....I'm not kidding..I am hard of hearing and wear two hearing aides and they are really, really loud! They come from the factory loud enough to hurt your ears but they are not even at the loudest setting !! That probably why they have a volume adjustment setting on their website. I have only had mine for a few days and I am very impressed with the simplicity and reliablity of these devices. Somebody with a brain designed these and bypassed all the unreliable high tech solutions that others have used and came up with a brilliant solution.
