We are a proud employee owned company. KEY-BAK invented the retractable keychain in 1948, and for over 70 years we have been the leader in retractable key, ID badge, access card, and professional everyday carry. It started when our founder, W.R. Lummis invented the Original KEY-BAK Self-Retracting Key Reel in 1948. As a switch man on the Pacific Electric Railway in Los Angeles, he saw brakemen and switch men injured when their dangling keychains got caught on moving trains. Lummis had an idea for a reel that would keep keys within reach at the wearer's side, safe from snagging on moving rail cars and machinery. His idea became the first KEY-BAK. We're best known for the Original KEY-BAK, prominently carried by school janitors.
