Keys location
- Edited
The idea here is that the belt wearer should have an emergency key within reach, but that (s)he should not be able to access it without breaking something. This is especially necessary if the belt wearer and keyholder are separated by distance.
1) Someone on another forum suggested the idea of putting an emergency key on a thin chain around the wearer's neck, and then locking the chain with a small padlock at the back. A good idea, but there is always the risk that the belt wearer or his/her lover might break the chain in the heat of passion, where no true emergency exists.
2) Many years ago, Popular Science magazine had a brief mention of a product called the Key-Sure Key Vault. It was a small plastic box with a drawer that would slide in. Once you slide the drawer in, the box cannot be opened without breaking it. The article suggested that you could use this to give a trusted neighbor a set of emergency keys to your house.
3) One of the things I miss most about the old, original Access Denied company was their tiny key vault designed to be worn on a chain around the neck. Similar in concept to idea (1), but I guess the AD product would make it impossible for the wearer to make or obtain a duplicate key. I was trying to locate the original web page for you via web.archive.org, but I couldn't get it to come up.
4) Chrono Vault from Dream Lover Labs

There is at least one competing product on the market, but I have a sentimental attachment to this one.
The vault can be purely timer-controlled, or it can be opened via an encrypted message sent over the internet.
Of course, emergency key is mandatory. But a normal safe is enough.
to 1 , the chain can also be opened if the wearer has the key to the necklace and can be locked again afterwards. if the wearer does not have the key, he/she cannot open the CB
like @Ines said, a normal safe at home is safe enough
As I found many questions with what to do with the keys I wanted to share with you what I'm doing with them.
So, to me it's important to always have an emergency key with me, nobody than the person, who does take care of my keys can access. I know, there is potentially the danger that someone could destroy the safe when he/she wants to rape you - but the person first has to know about that, then find it and then be able to break it. So it doesn't seem very realistic this could happen. Of course, if the wearing person gets weak he/she can find a way to break it... but then you would force a person who doesn't actually want this to wear a belt/cadge... it's just intended to prevent you from getting weak.
So, you never know when an emergency or issue is going to happen. So it's always a good idea to have a rescue key, especially if the keyholder lives quite a distance away from your home.
So, I've bought a metal tube and made a hole in the upper part. I bought an infatuation of a curtain pole. The problem with this tube is that you can only fit one key in, but it's exactly thick enough so you can fit the lock. And you anyway don't need more than one key in an emergency situation. (In order to make both fit in I did cut of a slim part of the head of the key)
That's how it's looks when you're done http://prntscr.com/rtnll2

So now your dear keyholder can set the code for the lock and lock it. He/she mustn't forget at all what the number was, so maybe note it in a saved document in the phone or engraved in a part that's hanging on a necklace. Maybe on the other key being placed there?
So whenever you have a problem with the cadge/belt/whatever you can call the person and get your number. Maybe video chat so you can show the problem? So if your KH feels you need to be released it can happen immediately.
I have been using the App ChastiKey with a real KH for that till now, does work quite ok, but is pittily easy to trick out. Hope I could inspire some people here. If you have another method that has always worked out fine, or if you think this is bullshit... let us know
What would happen if you manage to cheat on her belt?
audioguy58 The idea here is that the belt wearer should have an emergency key within reach, but that (s)he should not be able to access it without breaking something.
It is how it works for me.
Ines But a normal safe is enough.
But the keyholder should be able to answer a call immediately to give the combination.
Vanessa But the keyholder should be able to answer a call immediately to give the combination.
Even they can put the combination or key in a sealed envelope. I think, in my case at least, that the procedure has to be easy, but that be a break for ourselves if we are weak.
In my case, for sure my parents would be disappointed, not because I refuse wear the belt, but for make it without talking with them.
Vanessa What would happen if you manage to cheat on her belt?
an almost as hard punishment (sorry I'm too lazy to write this today
my father would never seal a box with the keys or an envelope. and to be honest, that's right, because i couldn't control myself, especially if i was still with my girlfriend
i think that our system works well, i can have access to the keys in case of emergency, but only if i call my father first)
