Label chastity cage keys by the lock they open — never by the wearer. Neutral tags, coded storage, and a private matching record held off-key.
This guide is not medical advice. Stop use if significant pain, numbness, swelling, discoloration or circulation concerns occur.
Key labels solve one problem — which key opens which lock — and can create another if they carry the wrong information. A tag that says whose key it is, or what it locks, turns an ordinary keyring into a private document. The discipline is to label the match, not the meaning.
This guide covers the labeling system for chastity cage keys. The matching session that produces the labels is described in the spare-keys guide.
Identify the lock rather than the wearer
Label every key with the lock it opens: “Viper cylinder,” “padlock A,” “spare for the steel kit.” The lock is the fact that matters; the wearer is information that belongs nowhere on a key. Anyone finding a tagged key learns only that it fits a specific lock — not whose, not why, not where the lock usually lives.
Use neutral abbreviations you can expand from your private record: “K1,” “K2-steel.” The tag is a pointer, and the record is where pointers resolve.
Use separate storage labels
Storage locations get the same neutral treatment: the working key’s hook, the spare’s fixed boring place, each labeled with the same neutral code as the key it holds. Separate storage labels mean anyone in the household can hang a key back correctly without the label explaining what the key is for. The system stays operable and stays private at the same time.
Avoid creative storage names — “the important drawer” is a label that advertises. Location codes in the record, plain physical labels in the world.
Keep a private matching record
The full mapping — which neutral code opens which lock, on which kit, with which spare location — lives in your kit records: a file or page you control, stored with the rest of the documentation. The record uses the same neutral codes, so even the record reads as inventory unless you already know what it inventories.
Update it when hardware changes, exactly like the parts table. The record is the system; labels and storage are just its hands.
High Quality Brass Replacement Padlock
The keyed pair that starts the labeling: A replacement padlock shipped with its two matching keys is the natural unit for this system: tag both keys with the neutral lock code, note the pair in the private record, and store the spare at its coded location. Check: the tags identify the lock, never the wearer — and the record holds the full mapping off-key.

Avoid putting sensitive details on a key tag
Never on a tag: the wearer’s name, the word “chastity,” the word “spare,” the words “emergency,” any date, any address, any brand that names the practice. A lost key with a discreet tag is an anonymous key; a lost key with a descriptive tag is a disclosed private arrangement plus a map to the lock it opens. The tag’s job is to be useful to you and meaningless to everyone else.
If a tag must be replaced in the field and no neutral code comes to mind, leave it blank and resolve it from the record at home. A temporarily anonymous key is a minor inconvenience; a descriptive one is a permanent disclosure.
Neutral tags, coded storage, a private record, nothing sensitive on anything that can be lost: the key-labeling system in four rules. It takes fifteen minutes to set up and gives you keys that are findable for you and meaningless to everyone else — which is exactly what a key should be.
