Smart QR Location Codes for Keys, Smart Cards, and Car Keychains
HOW TO USE THEM
FIND A PROPER SPOT FOR A QR CODE
Simply place an appropriately sized QR code on a flat surface connected to the key (but not ON the key’s surface itself!).
A POSSIBLE SITUATION ARISES
Maybe you’ve lost or forgotten your key in a keyhole. After the code is activated by you via the first scan and detail input, the key will have an additional layer of protection, allowing the finder to get in touch with you when they stumble across it.
INSTANT NOTIFICATION AND CHAT
The moment your QR code is scanned, you’ll get a notification on your phone letting you know whether the code was scanned by someone and when. Then, you will be able to chat with the finder in a built-in chat room (anonymous if you desire) and find a quick, effective solution.
RESOLUTION WITH THE FINDER
Once you have some sort of communication, preferably outside of the abTag chat for comfort and speed, just arrange a quick meeting with the finder to retrieve the key. Or, you can simply agree to have the finder leave the key at a specified location where you can pick it up later.
A quick setup of the QR tag
It’s as easy as the previous steps describe! Place the code on a surface attached to the key, scan it to activate the QR code, and continue by filling in basic contact information directly on the website. Note that each code is unique and doesn’t correspond to any other. That means that you can set up multiple tags for different keys, or even collections of keys if you, for example, are a landlord, have multiple cars, etc. The information you provide isn’t permanent, meaning you can add certain details later if you want, change them, or even hide them if you want more privacy.
The many uses of abTag QR tags
- Airbnb flat ownership/landlord duties
Managing and renting out many apartments at once can be quite a challenge, especially considering each flat often has a few keys for different doors and purposes. In any case, slapping on and setting up a QR code for later use may truly be a lifesaver for many, as it makes it possible for the tenant to contact you if they lose a key or need help with an issue.
With abTag codes, many such situations can be resolved more quickly or even avoided entirely, mainly concerning the loss of the main key, but also some other possible, yet unforeseen circumstances. - Personal keys (car, house, etc.) Our codes are just as useful on a personal level. People forget their keys everywhere; almost every one of us has experienced such a loss at least once. But, in contrast to the general process of tirelessly looking for keys, panicking, and even changing locks, QR tags let you simply retrieve the key and go on with your life! The keys might by attached to your wallet or bag; If you’ve left these things behind at a cafe table or elsewhere, the code is enough information for one person who finds your stuff to get it back to you.
- Loss in public transport (metro, bus, etc.) One of the most common times people lose their belongings is while commuting, and this includes the loss of keys. It’s super easy to forget your keys on your seat, for example, if none of the other riders point out that you left them there. But if you have a QR code on your keys, a transit staff member or another rider can scan the code to notify you of the loss and help get your keys back to you.
- Loss of keys from pet-sitters, child nannies, house cleaners, etc. Really anyone who possesses the keys to your house can lose them at some point by accident. It could be a personal pet sitter, a sitter watching your kids while you work, or even a house cleaner. Because it’s so easy to lose a key, having your spares protected with QR tags will ensure that anyone employed by you has a way to get your house keys back if they lose them.
- A mix-up of keys or multiple lost keys Similar to the first scenario, it’s pretty easy to imagine this one happening to either a large family or someone who owns a few properties/cars. Sure, people often put particular colors on keys to differentiate their purpose, but in reality, assigning specific codes to different keys might prove even more effective long-term.
- Traveling, hiking, and general outdoor activities If you often travel far from home or partake in outdoor activities in remote locations, tags can also prove useful. If you find yourself in an emergency or lose your bag (with keys attached), a fellow hiker, say, could contact you and notify you about where and how they found your things. The same applies to traveling, whether you’re passing through airports, hotel lobbies, beaches, etc.
- Gym membership cards, keycards, etc. . Put QR codes on your non-traditional keys and keycards, and you will get the same amount of usefulness out of them. If going to the gym is your thing, having a personal tag on your gym membership card can protect you from losing it both in the building and outside of it. The same goes for keycards in hotels, or any form of keycard.
