ORIGINAL: SpyUnderCover I have a set of four miniature padlocks. All the locks look identical, as do their keys. I'd like to label them in some way that I can quickly tell which key goes to which lock. I'm thinking about marking the locks with a drop of enamel paint, different colors for each lock, but matching those colors to their respective keys. But I think the paint will eventually chip, and besides, those keys are awfully tiny. Does anyone have any ideas for a more efficient way of labeling these locks and keys? Spy I'll second the punch method of marking. Very permanent. Either find someone with a set of number or letter punches, or you could just use a punch from a hardware store to make "dots" on the keys and locks. No dots, one dot, two dots, three dots on the four separate lock/key sets. Putting the dots on the keys is obvious. On the locks, either next to the key hole, or on top in the middle between the two parts of the shackle part. I'd probably mark both sides on the keys and both top and bottom of the lock bodies.
