A better setup would be to have it not magnetized at all, of course.

I fear for the glue failing on the key and the little magnet falling out - best case scenario, in your pocket or purse and you just don't find it again. Worst case scenario, in the lock and it jamns in the magnetic pin cylinder
Is it glued or welded to the key?
