Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are regularly found in hotels and offices.
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 work. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and move 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.
