Nothing a little spray paint can't fix!
Right. Maybe black plasti-dip??Nice! If only you could find a set in black.
Modify the stock twist cap and epoxy a thin rare earth magnet to its backside? Totally stealth that way.Nice! If only you could find a set in black.
I don't get it... Could you flesh out the idea a little more?
The plastic twist lock mechanism, rather than throw one of them away, cut off the cap portion that is visible that you twist with your fingers, in a way that its a bit hollowed out, perhaps with a dremel. Epoxy a small thin rare earth magnet to the inside face of the plastic cap, something like this in whatever size is correct (obviously don't need to buy a hundred): https://www.amazon.com/Magnets-Neodymium-Adhesive-Backing-Whiteboard/dp/B098BHQ1QB/

Hey..Cool ideas. Definitely works so you don't have to carry keys!
The great thing about round keys is that if you ever misplace the key, you can just take any standard plastic pen, open it, and use the tube pushed into the mechanism to open them. No skill needed, literally just jam it in there, wiggle, twist, and it will open, lol!
Here is a photo of the installed lock -- I used part from the original lock and just bent it upward a little so it would fit. Works great.
