Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Trademark 82-5061 License Plate Hidden Key Holder
Customer Review: Great Idea
Summary: 3 Stars
Great idea except if you close your truck hard the key flap will open and tag will not sit properly. If gone un-noticed, your key may fall out when driving.Customer Review: Great for use, but hope nobody is watching
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this because I have locked my keys in my truck......sooooo many times. Its a great concept, I just hope nobody watches and pays attention to where this is, for obvious reason.Customer Review: Haven't needed it yet. Thank goodness!
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to install, and no one know it's there! I got it before the scheduled delivery date. No looking for it to show up!Customer Review: License Plate key holder
Summary: 4 Stars
Good idea, but it needs some help to be effective. The design uses a combination of plastic friction binding and the spring-loaded license plate to hold the "key-compartment door" closed to "secure" the spare key. However, if you install the device on a hatch-back door, and you must slam the hatch closed, the key compartment may "flop open", dislodging the key from inside. I overcame this issue by using two pieces of velcro- one to the head of the key and the other to the inside of the key box. In this way, the key does not come loose when slamming the hatch back closed and allows the owner to lift the license plate and re-close the key compartment without having to search beneath the vehicle for the dropped key. Sometimes a bit annoying, but still effective. Overall, this is a good idea that could be improved upon if the designers had used an additional safeguard to positively "latch" the key compartment closed to avoid such an accident. The second issue I have is that if your license plate is secured by sheet metal screws at the bottom rather than at the top of the license plate, the installation will not work well. Still, it is a good little product for hiding a spare key on the outside of your vehicle "just in case".Customer Review: Limited Use

I have a wagon with the release above the license plate. The plate cuts into your fingers in this situation. Also, you must have a narrow key for it to fit in the space provided. My key does not fit. I have removed it from the car and trying to give it away. Do not buy if you have a hatchback or a key much wider than a house key.
