Vehicle Keys – Car keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are often found in hotels and commercial buildings.
House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way they operate.

Cylinder lock keys line up the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
