Makes of keys a professional locksmith should be able to service:

Master Key – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for example, master keys are usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – Car keys are made to open car doors, trunks and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access control locks which are often found in motels and commercial offices.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way these keys function. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
