The key at the bottom left side is for Art Steel metal boxes like this one.

The doubled ended fork with hole in the center upper left corner is for light switches.

Thanks guys! I want to start labeling these things and any information helps..
I found a bunch of Abus keys that I am trying to figure out which ones they are as well.

The keys with 3 holes in the bow, and the keys that resemble forks, fit various housekeeping dispensers. Toilet paper, hand towels, etc.

Some of the longer flat keys like the one just under the split ring resemble safety deposit keys. Hard to be certain, but the ones with the "normal" varied depth cuts are a good possibility. Look for bank marks or numbers.

Here is a link to safety deposit key blanks:

Does anyone know what the second from the left in the second row from the bottom is for?
I have a bunch of them that look exactly like that one and a number with a different bitting.
Thanks
