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 work.

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.
