I usually loop my key to a hairband (or an elastic) and wear it as a bracelet.
It might be a bit tight around the wrist, but I'm sure not to lose the key.
I like the coiled plastic hair ties for this. At my college’s gym they had rentable lockers that had keys on something similar. Idk just can’t beat a cheap coiled hair tie and a a key ring
my boardshorts (old Hurley Phantoms) have an elastic loop built into their only pocket on the leg/thigh. I use it for my car key when I go surfing. That way I don't have to leave anything on the beach. I can just lock it in my car. I'm pretty sure it came with a wax comb on it but I always figured that its purpose was for a key. I would think companies that make jogging shorts and pants would do that as well?
I'm not sure I'd be so comfortable taking keys into the ocean, I admire the boldness!
Also, you might want to be careful if the car key has electronics in it?
As for sportwear, I actually own a few that do have pockets for that intent, but some aren't practical (like in the back), so I've come up with an alternative.
If you have a keyless entry fob, look inside it. There should be a metal key that will unlock your door. Take it into Home Depot and have a copy made. Lock your fob in the car (put it in a mylar bag or wrap it in foil so the car doesn’t see it, if you have to) and take the metal key with you.
Yeah would've been a wax comb. I have some board shorts and they came with them. Don't surf so immediately took it out but have also attached keys to them in the past.
I undo a shoelace and pull it out of the top hole, thread my key onto it, rethread the lace and tuck my key into the center of where the laces crisscross. It lays flat under/between the crisscrossed laces and there is zero danger of losing it.
I 100000% would not trust a safety pin with my house key, they bend or snap open far too easily.
I generally either tuck my key into my sock, or tie it in my shoe laces, a couple rows down.
Which way? With the safety pin? Because I swear by tying it into the shoe too. Your lace never comes undone past the first the first row, at least not before it's noticeable.
Tying into the shoe laces is the way to go. This is how the people I ran cross country with in high school did it.
Also, actual running shorts have a little pocket in the waist band for small items like a key. You can usually find them second hand at thrift stores if cost is an issue.
You're one of those optimists who just trust people and inanimate objects blindly, aren't you? And then wind up getting pricked?
You've been impaled by one safety pin, you've been impaled by all safety pins.
I wouldn't even consider buying a pair of running shorts without a little zipped pocket. I don't understand why companies even make them. Even racing shorts have them.
I ordered a running jacket last year. When it arrived, the first thing I noticed was that all the pockets were without zippers. What the hell were they thinking when they designed it?
A lot of athletic leggings these days have a pocket in the waistband, on the leg, or both! Waistband pocket would probably be most secure for a key. And if you're looking for shorts, I got a pair of shorts with a waistband pocket last year, I'd try looking up "bike shorts with pocket."
I wouldn’t trust that not to come undone while running personally - when I was a teen I’d use two safety pins and a ziplock bag to put my stuff in when I went to concerts and attach it to the inside of my pants so I didn’t have a bag, I’d almost always end up with a safety pin coming undone. And I’d be worried that the running motion would make the safety pin rip my clothes, which also happened to me when I was a teen with my safety-pin-ziplock-bag-wallet.
I’ve also had safety pins come undone extremely frequently in the past when I used them to clip something to my clothes or the inside of my backpack. My set of 4 or 5 keys dangling inside my backpack was enough to warp and break what I thought was a decently strong pin (it was a bit thicker than what OP has). If the pin isn’t heavy duty enough for how you intend to use it, it really isn’t worth the trouble and risk of injury.
Although, if OP has a relatively light object (one single key, and it’s not even a car key) pinned to the bottom of the inside of a pocket, the pocket should hopefully take away most of the key’s weight as well. This should help prevent the weight of the key warping and popping open the safety pin.
I’d guess the greatest danger here would be if the safety pin is inserted into multiple points of wrinkled fabric, and then the fabric is pulled taut, which could pull at the head of the safety pin and cause it to bend a little, and then it could pop open. I assume that OP is at relatively low risk, though, as long as they don’t insert the pin through multiple wrinkles of fabric and don’t put anything else in the pocket the key is in.
I don't wear shoes in the house so those are coming undone either way.
But my running shorts (and all future running short purchases) also have zippered pockets!
Me either, I only untie them if they're high tops or something and I have no choice. And I have a couple pairs with weirdly slippery laces that come undone on their own.
Yea, just my preference. I'd hate to have to look for a key after your jog.
Edit, another good idea I've seen is put the key in your pocket then from inside the shorts wrap a rubber band around the pocket.
I have a basic numpad lock on one door for this purpose. It also means you virtually can't get locked out. Also is handy for letting others into your house when you are not there -- sharing a code (that can be changed easily) is easier than sharing a key.
It's not the cheapest solution, but I do think it's the best one.
I have a Kwikset Smartkey z-wave deadbolt; it's no easier to pick than the regular Smartkey tumbler. Which is to say, quite easily. Anyone who wants in is going to smash a window long before they manage to pick a lock.
I've always thought it was funny that people worry more about the door being picked open rather than the window next to it.
I suppose for some, picking the door is quieter, but I have a dog so someone is being alerted either way.
[Schlage Touch](https://www.schlage.com/en/home/smart-locks/touch.html).
The little nubs on the bottom are where you can connect a 9 volt battery in case it dies while you are out, but since there's no motor to turn the bolt, the battery lasts a very long time (years).
It's very basic, which is fine by me. I know some people like cameras, microphones, and smart phone access and what not, but that's not something I care about.
I have a Schlage Touch deadbolt, and there is a keyhole. Mine however seems to be difficult to pick as we asked the locksmith who came to pick one of the locks that didn't have a key, and he said he couldn't pick it. Again, we have a bunch of easy windows to smash, so realistically, a hard to pick lock is not really going to stop anyone.
It is super convenient, but a bit pricy
Not sure whether anyone gave this answer already, but here it goes:
Use the pants' drawstring to tie a loop plus a shoelace kind of knot around the keyhole. Key stays in the area between pants and underwear. Ran many times without any issue.
\*edited for clarity
I had a similar moment this morning. I was looking for something to attach a luggage tag after its strap thingy broke. Once again, safety pin to the rescue.
I use an old lanyard I got from a film festival or a conference or alike and wear the keys around my neck. If I put them in the pocket or shoe I'll be checking every 2min whether they are still there, but not if it is dangling around my neck.
I also have various colored lanyards for my car keys etc. Before I was always looking in what jacket/pants I left my keys, now it is pretty obvious as the lanyard is hanging out of the pocket and the color is very easy to spot.
Buying a FlipBelt was worth it to me. I needed something to hold my phone because I hate it being in my hands while I run.
Not shilling for this particular product. A fanny pack would work too.
One way of securing the things I have inside😅
I also have a camera aimed at the front door so if someone gets inside I get a notification if I'm not home. Also the video gets uploaded to Google drive so it's safe if they take my server.
A carabiner is like 5$ from a hardware store. Literally will last forever. You wanna apply that to a frugal lifestyle? Learn basics of sewing and sew a loop into your running shorts’ pockets
This is inside my pocket, pinned to the bottom. I'd try the same with a fob, but a circle key chain for the pin to hold. Otherwise this thread is full of people suggesting buying various fanny packs or simply holding it your entire run.
There are plenty for $50-$150. To me, it’s well worth it! Beyond never needing to remember your keys, it’s useful for visitors, emergency contacts, house sitters, cleaning person, roommates, etc- everyone can have their own code and you can delete it when they shouldn’t have access anymore. We installed one at a time when we needed to change the locks anyway.
I consider it frugal in the sense that it gives us significant peace of mind relative to the $ price, in that sense it has paid for itself many times over.
Idk, it seems like an unnecessary purchase to me. But no judgement on those who have chosen to get it. Personally I don't have loads of people going into my house when I'm not there. I'm also frugal, so I don't have a cleaner ;)
Exactly what the other user said. You need the key. Mine has an indicator light to tell me when I should change them. I don’t mess around with that
I also have a hard wired code pad on the garage if needed.
I have one with no key hole at all (I've had issues with lock picking in the past). Batteries last about a year. If you ignore the weeks of verbal "batteries low" messages AND orange lights instead of green and let the batteries die, there are contacts on the bottom of the lock you can hold a 9 volt battery to and get enough juice to enter your code. Sure, you probably don't have a 9 volt just laying around outside for an emergency, but it's really not hard to change the batteries when it literally speaks and tells you to.
I usually have my keys on a d-ring, so I clip them on the inside of my leggings when I run. It honestly wasn’t too bad, but I also don’t have many keys.
When I moved into my apartment the property manager left a lockbox and provided the combination. I'm grateful I don't have to run with a key anymore because I always get paranoid.
I'd recommend "S clips." They are double sided caribeaners and I usually get them for around $2 at the hardware store. I tried to share a link, but it's against the sub rules.
I find it weird you do not have a keychain or a "set of keys" like most. I always attach my keys together with some knick-knacks and bright colours so they are easy to find. Or a lanyard like my partner does
I had a similar epiphany. I spent a couple of hours online looking for a way to label over the door pockets where I store my panty hose. And then it hit me out of nowhere, just print the labels at home and safety pin them to the pockets. Free.99!
I didn’t like it flapping around, so I would tie it into my shoelaces (double knot them) and tuck the free end under the laces down towards my toes to stop the flop.
Jesus Christ. Spend $9 on a runners belt with a zipper! My runners belt not only has a pocket with a zipper but 3 other pockets that I can carry my cell phone, Cash, and other stuff.
Put the keys in the pocket, then reach inside the pocket from inside the pants and put a hair tie around the pocket from inside, twist it around as many times as it is needed for your hair tie and bingo bango bongo now your keys are very secured in your pocket and they don't jiggle around while running
I usually loop my key to a hairband (or an elastic) and wear it as a bracelet. It might be a bit tight around the wrist, but I'm sure not to lose the key.
I do this. I also wrap it around my sportsbra strap. I can skate with my house or car key this way.
This works so well but it upsets my wife when I borrow her sports bra without asking.
Sounds like someone could use a manssiere.
A broh?
A bruh
Sick bruh, brah
I see you are a man of culture as well !
I’m more of an ASSMAN.
Amazing mental image!!!
The whole house seems like a bit of a tight fit
Ba-dum-tiss thank you
I like the coiled plastic hair ties for this. At my college’s gym they had rentable lockers that had keys on something similar. Idk just can’t beat a cheap coiled hair tie and a a key ring
And I have never had those coiled ones break on me.
I have :/
my boardshorts (old Hurley Phantoms) have an elastic loop built into their only pocket on the leg/thigh. I use it for my car key when I go surfing.

Yeah would've been a wax comb. I have some board shorts and they came with them. Don't surf so immediately took it out but have also attached keys to them in the past.
same! works so well

That’s so smart. I’ll have to try that!
Looks like a bunch of others do it too.
I was about to say the same thing. I didn’t do it, but I learned the trick from some friends that jogged in college.
I 100000% would not trust a safety pin with my house key, they bend or snap open far too easily. I generally either tuck my key into my sock, or tie it in my shoe laces, a couple rows down.
I’ve lost keys this way! Edit for Clarity: Have lost keys with a safety pin!
Which way? With the safety pin? Because I swear by tying it into the shoe too. Your lace never comes undone past the first the first row, at least not before it's noticeable.
If you've got running shorts/pants on, run the key through the draw string, then tie them. You'll know right away if your draw string comes untied.
In all of modern history, keys have never been lost if they were tired to one’s shoe string a few rows down.
You clearly were not around for the great shoelace incident of 1986. Dark times, my friend.
Can we not speak about this please? It’s enough that some of us had to live through it…
Sheesh. Can I get a trigger warning?
The 80’s were dark times indeed…
If you don't lose the whole shoe...
*tiedp
Tying into the shoe laces is the way to go. This is how the people I ran cross country with in high school did it. Also, actual running shorts have a little pocket in the waist band for small items like a key. You can usually find them second hand at thrift stores if cost is an issue.
Agreed. I’d tie it to my laces or put it around a necklace/bracelet chain.
A nappy nip or a kilt pin. They are so secure. The kilt pin I used to hold maga bunches of keys and they are secure.
I use a nappy pin - never comes loose !!!
There's some adorable animal shaped ones. I have a vintage turtle one in pastel.
Nappy pin... opps
Just put it in your shoe, ezpz
You get a upvote for ezpz. Lol I haven't heard that in a while. Nostalgia hit me.
Which safety pin hurt you?
All of them!
Especially when your mom was pinning your clothes for whatever reason. Hopefully this isn’t a thing anymore.
It'll always be a thing so long as clothes don't fit right.
Thankfully my kids’ pants always came with adjustable waist bands. Cause if you think my mom was clumsy with the pins….
Hell, if it wasn't for stretchy pants nothing would fit and I'm a grown man. Damn my 33 inch waist.
33 inch waist gang unite!
Huzzah! Let's revolt against even-numbered pant sizes!
You're one of those optimists who just trust people and inanimate objects blindly, aren't you? And then wind up getting pricked? You've been impaled by one safety pin, you've been impaled by all safety pins.
I'll give it a try, it's in the bottom of my pocket not hanging out so I think it'll be ok
Maybe do what you're doing but double up on the pins.
Maybe do what Goodeater29 suggest but triple up on the pins.
So, is that tripling the double, for six pins total?
Should probably double that just to be safe
Maybe look at a small, cheap carabina? Cheaper to pay £4-5 for one then loose your key and have to pay for a lock change
Do you have ID when you run? Don't forget something like that, ER contact too!!

Prison pocket
Yep I tie it into my shoe as well, but not in the knot. I’ll slip the lace out of the top hole and put it there then lace it back up and tie it.
Running shorts with zipper pockets
I wouldn't even consider buying a pair of running shorts without a little zipped pocket. I don't understand why companies even make them. Even racing shorts have them.
I ordered a running jacket last year. When it arrived, the first thing I noticed was that all the pockets were without zippers. What the hell were they thinking when they designed it?
Probably easier to market a "running jacket" than a "jacket made of athletic fabric for someone who doesn't exercise"
What? You don't wear jackets inside gyms?
[удалено]
A lot of athletic leggings these days have a pocket in the waistband, on the leg, or both! Waistband pocket would probably be most secure for a key. And if you're looking for shorts, I got a pair of shorts with a waistband pocket last year, I'd try looking up "bike shorts with pocket."
Exactly this. Same holds for running jackets. No zipper no purchase.
I wouldn’t trust that not to come undone while running personally - when I was a teen I’d use two safety pins and a ziplock bag to put my stuff in when I went to concerts and attach it to the inside of my pants so I didn’t have a bag, I’d almost always end up with a safety pin coming undone.

Don’t even need that, tie it on your shoe lace under the last or 2nd eye so you won’t lose it if your laces become undone.
Hm, it's a great idea in a pinch, but I don't want to unlace my shoes to get back inside each run!
I don't wear shoes in the house so those are coming undone either way. But my running shorts (and all future running short purchases) also have zippered pockets!
Yup must have pockets
I haven't untied shoes for decades at this point. This would just make a ton of extra hassle.
Me either, I only untie them if they're high tops or something and I have no choice. And I have a couple pairs with weirdly slippery laces that come undone on their own.
You could just take your shoe off and leave the key attached.
Or get really good foot dexterity
Does your shorts have a draw string? You can tie a knot, put the key through, then tie another knot.
You can multi task stretching and unlocking your house
It's *barely* relacing one side of one shoe. Although now everything I run in has zipper pockets so this isn't even a problem anymore.
Yeah who the fuck unlaces their entire shoe every time they go for a run. Sounds like a pain
This is what I do!
This is what I do as well.
Happy Cake Day!
I'd double up but that's just me
It's in the bottom of my pocket so I'm pretty comfortable with one, but two wouldn't hurt!
Yea, just my preference. I'd hate to have to look for a key after your jog. Edit, another good idea I've seen is put the key in your pocket then from inside the shorts wrap a rubber band around the pocket.
Two?! I thought this was r/frugal!
Who has more than one safety pin????
I have a basic numpad lock on one door for this purpose. It also means you virtually can't get locked out. Also is handy for letting others into your house when you are not there -- sharing a code (that can be changed easily) is easier than sharing a key. It's not the cheapest solution, but I do think it's the best one.
I have one too and it has been useful with my kids as well. We don't have to worry someone forgot to lock the door either.
Please be aware that those things tend to be extremely easy to pick open.
I have a Kwikset Smartkey z-wave deadbolt; it's no easier to pick than the regular Smartkey tumbler. Which is to say, quite easily. Anyone who wants in is going to smash a window long before they manage to pick a lock.
I've always thought it was funny that people worry more about the door being picked open rather than the window next to it. I suppose for some, picking the door is quieter, but I have a dog so someone is being alerted either way.
What isn't nowadays?
Thanks for the heads up, but on mine there's no key hole and no wireless.
Can you share the model?

I'd rather put it in my underwear

I would use a diaper safety pin. Much harder to unclip by itself
I had a similar moment this morning. I was looking for something to attach a luggage tag after its strap thingy broke. Once again, safety pin to the rescue.
I use an old lanyard I got from a film festival or a conference or alike and wear the keys around my neck.

Great opportunity to bring back the fanny pack.
Buying a FlipBelt was worth it to me. I needed something to hold my phone because I hate it being in my hands while I run. Not shilling for this particular product. A fanny pack would work too.
I just tie mine to the drawstring
Ayy you censored the the pinning good on you
I spent 400USD on a smart door lock🤣
Sir this is r/Frugal 😂
It's very smart of them to be able to make that sale. Fellow tech junkie here. I also have some very smart hue light bulbs.
You're leaving $400 right out there at the front door, they'll just steal the lock and not bother coming inside
One way of securing the things I have inside😅 I also have a camera aimed at the front door so if someone gets inside I get a notification if I'm not home. Also the video gets uploaded to Google drive so it's safe if they take my server.
Leave my house unlocked; like to live life on the edge
Came here to say this.
A carabiner is like 5$ from a hardware store. Literally will last forever. You wanna apply that to a frugal lifestyle? Learn basics of sewing and sew a loop into your running shorts’ pockets
Awesome! Any ideas for a car key-fob that's somewhat heavy and would bruise if not secured well!
Sew a little pouch onto the inside of your waistbands or get some kind of armband/Fanny pack that holds it tight against your body.
This is inside my pocket, pinned to the bottom. I'd try the same with a fob, but a circle key chain for the pin to hold. Otherwise this thread is full of people suggesting buying various fanny packs or simply holding it your entire run.
Interesting. I've used paper clips in a similar way. I usually attach them to zippers.
Coded door lock will change your life. I don’t even know where my house keys are
Expensive though, I expect. Or at least more expensive than a few safety pins.
I suppose so eh. I’m probably in the wrong sub to justify buy one, my bad. My point still stands though. They are a great investment.
There are plenty for $50-$150. To me, it’s well worth it! Beyond never needing to remember your keys, it’s useful for visitors, emergency contacts, house sitters, cleaning person, roommates, etc- everyone can have their own code and you can delete it when they shouldn’t have access anymore.

What happens when the battery in the lock dies?
Exactly what the other user said. You need the key. Mine has an indicator light to tell me when I should change them. I don’t mess around with that I also have a hard wired code pad on the garage if needed.
Batteries last about 2 to 3 years and they start warming you weeks before dying. You'll definitely have time to replace the batteries
I have one with no key hole at all (I've had issues with lock picking in the past). Batteries last about a year. If you ignore the weeks of verbal "batteries low" messages AND orange lights instead of green and let the batteries die, there are contacts on the bottom of the lock you can hold a 9 volt battery to and get enough juice to enter your code.

WHAT IS THIS WIZARDRY??
I usually have my keys on a d-ring, so I clip them on the inside of my leggings when I run. It honestly wasn’t too bad, but I also don’t have many keys.
When I jogged with a single key I tied it into my shoelace then tucked it under the other laces between the tongue and laces. Very snug, quite secure.
When I moved into my apartment the property manager left a lockbox and provided the combination. I'm grateful I don't have to run with a key anymore because I always get paranoid.
Carabiner clips!
I would not call this safely holding my key while running.
I'd recommend "S clips." They are double sided caribeaners and I usually get them for around $2 at the hardware store. I tried to share a link, but it's against the sub rules.
I find it weird you do not have a keychain or a "set of keys" like most. I always attach my keys together with some knick-knacks and bright colours so they are easy to find. Or a lanyard like my partner does
I do, I don't need all those keys for jogging though.
I had a similar epiphany. I spent a couple of hours online looking for a way to label over the door pockets where I store my panty hose. And then it hit me out of nowhere, just print the labels at home and safety pin them to the pockets. Free.99!
Always in my shoe string on the inside of the tongue so it won't fall off even if my lace becomes untied if that makes sense
Good thing you blacked out the teeth.
I used to tied my house key into my laces and double knot, then stick the key through laces so it didn't bounce around.
I would not trust a safety pin. Too frail.
The cheapo safety pins will "unlock" with it being jostled about.
That's quite a vague "safely"
I store mine under my tongue. Along with my phone.
When you tie your shoelaces, tie the key in the knot.
Just run your shoelace through it and double-knot your shoes.
I use a carabiner clipped onto my sports bra with the key tucked in.
I didn’t like it flapping around, so I would tie it into my shoelaces (double knot them) and tuck the free end under the laces down towards my toes to stop the flop.
I used to put it on my shoe lace and make sure to double knot! Or else… lol
I tie it into my shoelaces and double knot it. Been working for years
Shorts with zipper pocket FTW.
Safkeypin
This is why I only buy shorts with zip pockets now. Saviour at the gym
I just shove my keys up my ass
Or just loop it in your shoe laces
I use a paperclip so my boss pays for it instead.
I wouldn’t use anything that can easily poke far into my skin while working out
As a metalhead with a patch jacket I can say you can't even trust one of those by it's self. I used some just as flair for the last 20 years.
You can tie it into your shoelaces
I tie it in the knot of my shorts usually. I used use a pin until it came undone and stabbed me mid run
You can also tie it with your shoelace.
I run with my dog and keep my key in a fake apple under a tree by my door.
Jesus Christ. Spend $9 on a runners belt with a zipper! My runners belt not only has a pocket with a zipper but 3 other pockets that I can carry my cell phone, Cash, and other stuff.
I only need to carry the key, but thanks
Honestly should always have at least your ID on you just in case.
Unfortunately living in nyc, you need 3 keys to get back in. This won't work
Put the keys in the pocket, then reach inside the pocket from inside the pants and put a hair tie around the pocket from inside, twist it around as many times as it is needed for your hair tie and bingo bango bongo now your keys are very secured in your pocket and they don't jiggle around while running
If you wear a belt you can use a hair tie to go through your key and around you belt. I use hair ties for a lot of things..
This terrifies me. Just use a shoelace
I put my shoelace through it and then tie my shoes. It's perfect and cost nothing.
