The Best No-Touch Door Keychains

This EDC Door Opener is a brass alloy contactless door opener every day carry that has an ergonomic design, large hook end, smooth finger loop for comfortable holding, and a hole at the top to attach to your keychain. 

With 70% copper content, it has inherent antimicrobial properties compared to other material types, as copper and brass have long been known to have such properties against germs. Despite a higher percentage of copper than most alloy mixes, it remains sturdy enough to be used for most tasks without bending or warping. 

A flat-stylus tip, door hook, finger hole, and keyring loop make this brass no-touch door opener simple but effective for its purpose. The door hook has a ‘lip’ at the end, making it ideal for opening latches and drawers without the tool slipping. The finger hole adds an extra bit of stability while pulling open doors, pressing elevator buttons, ATM buttons, or anything else you can do hands-free. 

If you don’t want a metal hands-free door opener, the Kooty Key door opener might be for you. Made from manufactured antimicrobial plastics, it’s a lightweight and durable tool to have to limit your exposure to coronavirus or any other nasty germs, especially during cold and flu season that comes around during wintertime. 

A large, rounded hook with a rubber tip stylus makes it easy for opening door handles, mailboxes, pressing toilet handles, etc. while the tip is ideal for ATM keypads, crosswalk, elevator buttons, vending machine buttons, etc. The rubber tip doesn’t work with touchscreens or glass, unfortunately. 

Being made from an antibacterial hard plastic, the Kooty Key is easy to clean and sanitize and can be cleaned with disinfectant spray, dipped in rubbing alcohol, or disinfectant wipes. Another benefit is that every opening tool comes with an added retractable badge reel – allowing you to clip it onto your belt or purse, without worrying about where to put it after using it as it just retracts back into place. 

Sometimes all you need is the very basics, and the ORNOOU 4-Piece Brass Door Opener set has you all covered. 

With this handheld, non-contact door opener and stylus keychain tool coming with a serrated edged top, comfortable finger loop, keychain hole, and a straighter hook than other models – It doesn’t get much more basic than this for limiting your exposure to Covid-19 and other germs. 

The caveat of such a simple design and lower price point is that the build quality suffers. For anything more strenuous such as heavier or sticky doors/drawers, it could bend or warp with repeated use or force, compared to other brands and openers that are thicker and are better constructed. 

According to Amazon reviews, the main issues people have is the paint rubbing off quickly with use, and in some circumstances the keychains have bent with a lot of force. Majority of reviews were pleased with their purchase and for the basic functions it works exactly as described. 

One of Amazon’s Top Choices, the KeySmart CleanKey is both highly rated and is manufactured by a self-made company that’s been in the game since 2013. Best known for inventing the compact keyholder, KeySmart has branched out in the last few years, creating better and better products – one of which is the CleanKey, an ergonomic contactless keychain tool. 

Perfect for protection during the current pandemic, or if you’ve been wanting to limit your exposure to microbes and be more germ-free, this brass CleanKey has you covered. Manufactured from 260 Brass alloy, the ergonomic design fits most hand sizes without being too big or small. It comes with a retractable carabiner, or you can attach it to your keychain with no problems using the keyring hole. 

One noticeable feature that makes it stand out from other door keychains is that it works flawlessly with touch screens and smartphones. Designed with an angled hook, straight end, serrated grip top edge, and ergonomic finger loop, you’re all set for nearly any hands-free applications. 

Able to handle door handles of all kinds like levers, pull, and sliding doors are easily managed, along with touchscreen buttons, elevators, and credit card machines. A benefit of using KeySmart is that if you have any issues with your purchase, you can contact customer service and they’re more than happy to help.

The Z-Key is a thick premium tool designed and manufactured in Austin, TX. Made fully from 360 Brass, it’s sturdy and won’t break or bend from use like some other no-touch keychains. 

Whether you’re wanting to touch fewer objects while out in public, a germaphobe, or just wanting to stay safer during the pandemic the Z-Key covers all the bases for nearly everyone. The only caveat is the size – but with that comes stability and function, all for a price that saves a pretty penny. 

A bit of a beast in size, made from ¼-inch thick 360 Brass and measuring 3.4-inches long x 2.5-inches high, with two 1-inch finger holes – it’s a contender for one of the best contactless door openers available. 

Manufactured on a custom CNC machine, milled to precise dimensions, and spending 24 hours in a polishing machine to remove all the sharp edges, each Z-Key is crafted with care and attention to detail which is always a nice peace-of-mind when there are multitudes of cheap manufactured options out there. 

There’s also an anti-slip notch along with the usual door pusher notch, door opener hook, button pusher, keyring hole, and includes a bottle opener at the top of the key. 

For a little change in design that looks more along the lines of a rare key or something from a fantasy novel, the FunParty Premium No-Touch Door Opener Tool is worth checking out. 

According to Amazon reviews, many people were impressed with the quality, size, and durability. Including that there’s a limited warranty that comes standard with every purchase so if you do happen to have any sort of issues, you’re covered – Which isn’t mentioned in the listing, but is good to know. 

The tip has a silicone sleeve on it, making touchscreens and smartphones able to be used with this, which is a necessity when almost everything includes one, whether it’s ATM screens or paying for something at the store. 

Lightweight, easy to use, and made from a copper/zinc antimicrobial alloy, it’s durable and won’t bend. This unique looking no-touch keychain can be easily cleaned with any sort of sanitizer wipe or spray without worrying about damaging it. 

The finger slot has smooth rounded edges, which is nice, meaning that whether you’re opening doors or pushing buttons, essentially using it everywhere you need it won’t hurt or damage your fingers like some other models can end up doing after a full day of being out in public or even at the office. 

It comes with a keychain carabiner if you want to attach it to your keyring or some other place that’s easily accessible. 

Starting as a Kickstarter project at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the StatGear Hygiene Hand Lite went on to not only hit its pledge goal on the first day but continued to make almost half a million dollars by the end of its campaign – this simple but mighty tool is worth a mention on our list. 

Made entirely from brass (70% copper/30% zinc alloy mix), without a coating covering the metal, ensuring that you get the best antimicrobial result, without any unnecessary exposure to germs. 

The original non-Lite version of this no-touch keychain is twice the weight and nearly twice the cost, making this version already rather superior. Its size, weight, shape, and simplicity put it right in the middle ground in comparison to other keychains in its range. 

Small enough to not be annoying or clunky on a keychain or with a set of keys, but big enough to do all of the core tasks without compromising, as some smaller sized contactless keychains and keys miss the mark on getting everything right. The large hook opening fits most door handle sizes whether they’re lever or thicker pull handles, and the straight edge tip works with touchscreens and smartphones without damaging anything, if that’s something you have a worry about. 

Unlike a lot of smaller sized hands-free germ keys, the Saint Midas manages to stand on its own with nearly every day-to-day task, all while looking glamorous. 

With some thoughtful design touches, the Midas stands out looking sleeker and more polished than a standard block of metal. Crafted from antimicrobial brass, and weighing only 0.9 ounces, it’s a beautiful little tool to have. Compared to other contenders it can handle everything you need for the day – elevator buttons, ATM machines, and most doors can be opened with ease, unless they’re unusually larger than the one-inch hook section. 

The finger hole diameter is small and rounded, making it comfortable for a wide range of hands, and the tip of the Saint Midas is a unique pyramid shape that works well for touchscreens and smartphones as long as you angle it correctly so that the entire face of the pyramid touches the contact surface. 

The Aviano Copper No-Touch Door Opener stands out from the rest of the pack because it’s crafted from 99% copper metals, as opposed to most openers and no-touch tools that are brass – an allow of copper of zinc. The benefits of pure copper are that it’s thought to be more self-cleaning than the rest. 

With the slit in the finger hole section, the Aviano was designed with this quick-attach feature that allows you to easily slide it onto a belt loop or similar. The door handle hook is large, able to handle almost every door you could throw at it, while the nose allows you to toggle elevator buttons, ATMs, and touch screens. 

A caveat about the front ‘nose’ of the Aviano is that the door push and touchscreen edges are exactly the same lengths, making it so that sometimes if you’re using a touchscreen or smartphone at a 90-degree angle, it will press two places at once. 

If you’ve been in the market to find a purely copper no-touch keychain, this may be for you. One other thing to note is that since it is copper – it will fade over time and can be more prone to scratches and scuffs as opposed to the other alloy material contactless door openers.
