Retractable Key Reels
Heavy Duty Locking Retractable Key Reel 52 mm
A heavy duty retractable key reel with a 52 mm diameter zinc alloy housing, a 37 mm recess for logo application, and a 120 cm nylon cord with a locking mechanism. It is designed for environments where keys are carried daily and must not retract unexpectedly: the locking function holds the cord in place when extended, the 30 mm metal clip attaches securely to a belt or bag, and the 120 cm cord reaches a lower pocket or bag without bending over. The reel ships with a fitted clip and a 200-piece carton count to simplify bulk distribution.
- Locking mechanism prevents accidental retraction when keys are in use
- 120 cm cord reaches a lower pocket or bag without bending over
- 37 mm recess provides a large area for customer logo application
- 30 mm metal clip holds firmly on a belt or bag edge
