Check out this novel way to keep your keys together.

Step 1: Determine screw length
Decide how many keys you want on the keychain to determine the length of the screw you will be purchasing.

Step 2: Take keys
Take your keys to your local hardware store and purchase a Chicago screw that will fit through the keychain holes in your keys.

Tip
If the screw is too big, use a drill to enlarge the key holes.

Step 3: Add a washer
Thread a washer onto the screw; then add your keys. Fasten the bolt closed with the fastener. 

Step 4: Put drops on
Put a few drops of thread locking compound on the screw to prevent it from loosening.
