KEYS:

Hold an imaginary "key" between your thumb and index finger and twist it twice in a lock.

 

KEYS (side view version):

    
 



Signing Note: If you use just a single twist, the sign becomes a "verb" that means "lock" as in, "I locked the door."

LOCK / to lock / lock it



Sample sentence: YOUR KEYS, YOU LOSE BEFORE? = "Have you ever lost your keys?"
