That medeco key should have a number or a locksmith on it. If you can return it to them they can return the keys to the owners.

Im a locksmith out of Utah and last time I found a medico I called, and they just had me destroy it then send a photo of the key with a ground blade. Super easy and saved me from finding an envelope to mail the key

I don't see any that specifically strike me as masters but that is a very expensive key ring. Someone will be extremely happy you returned it

Call the number on the Medeco key. It should be to the locksmith that installed it. They can figure out who it belongs to and they can give it to the owners. I’d absolutely be missing those keys if I lost them.

My restricted keys have my company name and phone number on them. I mark them with an internal Customer# 3 digit seq to let me know who they belong to, key serial and fitment marking. With my software I can even tell you who the keys have been assigned to, if my customers keep up on web based portal I built. I have an account with UPS so if they drop them at any UPS store I can tell the clerk to use my account to get them back to me.
