HOW TO attach key-ring to FOB?
« on: October 31, 2016, 12:55:48 PM »
Is there a way to attach a key-ring to the FOB? Perhaps drilling a hole in one of the corners without ruining it?

Already has a slit to do just that. Look closely. Back side opposite end from the key.

This if for a lanyard as opposed to a hard ring but I would think you could enlarge and work one in.

Zip tie solution- priceless!

Of course, it never would have occurred to me to want to put the active fob on a keyring :)

This type of cable tie works great.

I just keep a house key with it... just in case. I agree it would be unwieldy with all of my normal key accoutrements.

You do know that that pic isn't actual size and that they do make different sizes of that type right of cable tie right? I have a bag of these and they fit in the slot just fine. I'll let them go for only $2 each.  ;)

Sometimes the green ones are in the Christmas decoration section of department stores selling garland, etc.

Hmmm..... we never had any of the tiny 4" ones with the screw tabs at work, ...  the greenies came in a jug-o-ties from H/F,  I bought long ago.

As for the hole -a-bob thing, that's for mounting the harness to a panelboard with a screw, we used the ones like in the picture by the thousands where I used to work.
Used to really pizzz me of when I designed a 36" x 48" panelboard that mounted a bazillion components, pwb's, transormers, relays, and stuff, and accounted for every possible mounting screw for all of them, including fastening the harnesses, with pre installed captive fasteners, (nuts, studs, standoffs etc) and the goobers assembling them would devaite from my assembly drawings and use peel and stick tie wrap mounts all over.... arggggg......
So much for the 800+ holes and pressed in fasteners...
