ABSTRACT:
A double ended key holder includes a first body portion, a second body portion, and joining and biasing mechanisms for engaging the first and second body portions together to form a key holder having openings on at least one end. The first body portion is configured to form one of the openings and has a gap which is hidden when the first and second body portions are biased together in an engaged position. The first and second body portions are joined for relative slidably movement between the engaged position and the open position. A transmitter may be included as part of the key holder for remote control of an automobile, garage door opener, security system or the like. Additional configurations of key holders are disclosed including a key holder having only a single body portion. The transmitter may be included as part of the single body portion. In each variant of the key holder, coded indicia indicative of the owner of the key holder and non-encoded data indicative of where the key holder may be returned, may be included.
