The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.

Car Key – automotive keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open acess locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial properties.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way these keys operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
