Large Purple Key Covers for Tubular Keys - 2 Covers (New)

Give your tubular keys a clear color marker with this pair of large purple key covers. Purple makes a key easier to spot in a group of similar-looking keys. It also gives you a simple way to sort keys by machine, route, location, or purpose.

This listing is for two new purple key covers. The covers are accessories for tubular keys. They are not keys or locks.

Product Details at a Glance

  • Product: large key covers for tubular keys
  • Color: purple
  • Quantity: two covers (one pair)
  • Condition: new
  • SKU: PLKCP
  • Manufacturer listed by Vending World: Aba
  • Main use: visual color coding of tubular keys

Check the size and shape of your key head before ordering. The product page says these covers fit tubular keys, but does not list exact measurements or every compatible key style.

Why Purple Helps

Purple is easy to tell apart from many common key colors. It can stand for one machine group, one route, or one person. A clear color system reduces time spent checking keys, especially when several keys look alike.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Two Covers in One Order

This product includes two purple covers. You can mark two keys the same way or keep a spare cover ready. The listing does not include tubular keys, locks, key rings, or tools.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

A Simple Way to Sort Keys

Choose one meaning for purple and use it each time. You might use it for one vending location or a specific group of cabinets. Keep a written key list if you manage many machines.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Useful for Vending Operators

Vending routes often involve several doors and locks. A color marker can help you find the intended key faster. The cover does not change the key code or make one key work with another lock.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Keep Key Codes Separate

Color is a visual aid, not a replacement for the key code. Two keys with purple covers can still have different cuts. Always match the correct key to its lock.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

A Clear Look on a Key Ring

A bright purple cover can stand out among plain metal keys. That can make it easier to locate a key before opening a vending machine or storage cabinet.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Check Fit Before Use

Tubular keys come in different designs. Compare the head of your key with the product photo and any available dimensions. Do not force a cover onto a key if the fit seems wrong.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Simple Color Coding

Give each color a job. For example, purple can mean one location while other colors mean other sites. Write the system down so team members can follow it.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

For Shared Key Sets

If more than one person uses a key set, a shared color system may help. Add a plain-language label or key log when needed. Color alone may not be enough for large collections.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Easy to Identify at a Glance

A colored cover helps distinguish the covered key from uncovered keys. The benefit is visual organization. It does not improve the security or strength of the lock.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

New Accessory

The Vending World listing identifies these covers as new. They are a small add-on for people who already use tubular keys and want a more organized key set.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Order the Right Item

The SKU for this purple pair is PLKCP. Check the color and pack count on your order. Other cover colors may be listed separately.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

For Cabinets and Equipment

Tubular keys are used on various cabinets and equipment. These covers are meant for the key head, not the lock face. Fit still depends on the actual key design.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Keep Your System Consistent

If purple stands for a route, avoid using it for a second, unrelated purpose. Consistent labels make key handoffs easier to understand.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Know What a Cover Does

A cover marks the key and may change how the head feels in your hand. It is not a replacement for a damaged key, lock, or key blank.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

A Pair for Small Key Sets

Two covers can be useful when you need to mark only a few keys. If you manage many keys, count how many covers you need before ordering.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

A Pair for Larger Key Sets

A larger key collection benefits from a clear plan. Use purple for one category, then record each key code in a secure inventory. Avoid putting sensitive lock details on public labels.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Use with Existing Keys

These are covers only. Keep using the original tubular key that matches your lock. Adding a cover does not change the metal key or its cut.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Keep the Key Working Freely

After fitting a cover, make sure the key can still be inserted and turned normally. If the cover gets in the way, remove it and recheck compatibility.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Quick Visual Checks

Before leaving for a route, you can check the color groups on your key ring. A color check is helpful, but verify that you have the correct keys by code or label.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Helpful During Key Handoffs

When giving keys to a coworker, describe the color system and the exact keys. Do not rely on color alone when several locks or machines are involved.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.

  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Not a Locking Device

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.

Separate Similar Keys

  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.

  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

Avoid Guessing Compatibility

  • Identify the key by its correct code or label.
  • Use purple as a visual guide, not proof of compatibility.
  • Check that the cover fits without blocking normal key use.

In a site access checklist, it helps to know which key you are reaching for. A purple cover can mark the group you choose. Keep the meaning simple. For example, assign purple to a site, cabinet group, or work role. Then use that meaning every time.

Before a key is used during a site access checklist, check the actual key code or trusted label. The color helps you find a candidate key. It does not confirm the lock match. If the key feels wrong, stop and check rather than forcing it.

  • Choose a clear meaning for purple.
  • Keep a separate record of key codes.
  • Check fit and normal operation after adding the cover.
  • Store keys in a secure place when not in use.

Will these covers fit every tubular key?

What if the cover blocks the key?

Can two different keys use purple?

Yes, but keep clear records so the keys do not get confused.

Why Buy A Refurbished Machine?

Great Returns - Commercial Grade Machines - Affordability


New vs Refurbished

We used to sell new machines as well as reconditioned ones. We no longer sell new, for one main reason.

According to a recent survey of vending operators, about 93 out of 100 potential vending accounts don't generate enough revenue to justify the cost of new equipment. New machines are great if you have high volume accounts, but most people do not have these accounts.

Typical pricing on new "commercial grade" machines:

  • Can drink machines: $6,200–$7,400
  • Snack machines: $6,600–$8,500
  • Cold food machines: $8,900–$11,700

(Priced with mech and validator, typical options, vendor pricing not including sales tax or shipping in some cases.)

As you can see, that's quite high compared to used or refurbished equipment.

Please remember 'anyone and everyone' can call their machines refurbished but what does that really mean? Please see our machine ratings page for what we actually do to our machines. Many of our competitors don't even 'clean or paint the inside' of the machines.

Start small and grow as you can afford it.

Many people start in the vending business without much knowledge, and that can hurt them financially if they're not careful.

All of the machines that we sell are full size, commercial machines. There are many machines that are made that are small, countertop or mechanical coin acceptance. These machines are fine if you are a housewife looking to make a little extra money on the side. We used to sell those type of machines and no longer do. The main reason is that people who were serious about vending would out grow these type of machines in several months.

Small mechanical machines have two main problems:

  • They don't make change or accept dollar bills
  • They "work you to death" — frequent refills for very little payoff

Most hold under 100 products and gross only $40–$50 per full restock, and profit is less than half of that.

A full-size commercial machine, by contrast, usually holds 350 to 600 products and empties out at $250–$500. Since you spend most of your time just driving to the location, you might as well fill 500 products instead of 50.
