hinged key

Here is an interesting key , I thought some of you would like to see , unfortunately not mine , but belongs to my brother

That's nice, does he just have the key and not the lock?

Reminiscent of the "folding key" used for some bit key locks on this side of the pond a century ago. Often made for store door rim locks to reduce unwieldy stem length by one-half and allow the key to be carried in the pocket. About 5-1/2" long when unfolded, see thumbnail of some old Ilco steel folding blanks attached.

One long folding safe key among a selection of un-named detachable bitted keys.
