Worldwide Mail-in Repairs Available 🚚

This time, we received a silver keychain for repair.
Although simple in design, it has a strong presence, and it was clear that it had been carefully used and cherished for many years.

Customer’s Inquiry

“The hook no longer closes properly. Is it possible to repair it?”

At first glance, it may seem like a small issue. However, when a keychain hook no longer closes, it can no longer serve its essential purpose 💧

Cause of the Issue: Spring Wear and Misalignment

The cause of the problem was an issue with the spring inside the hook.

Items like keychains, which are opened and closed repeatedly on a daily basis, can develop problems over time due to spring deterioration or metal fatigue, making it difficult for the hook to close smoothly.
Although the spring is a small and hidden component, it is truly the heart of the hook’s functionality.

After the Repair

After repair, the hook has been restored to a condition where it:

　・ Closes naturally
　・ Opens smoothly when pressed
　・ Has no catching or resistance
　・ Allows keys to be attached safely and securely

We hope you will enjoy using it again 😊

The Smaller the Item, the More Meaning It Can Hold

With keychains, accessories, and small metal fittings, some customers may hesitate to ask, “Can something like this really be repaired?”

However, for the owner, such items often carry deep personal meaning:

　・ They hold precious memories
　・ They are used every day
　・ They were received as a gift

We respect these feelings and strive to restore and preserve items whenever possible.
If you plan to visit our store in person, we recommend making an appointment.
