Key makes a decent locksmith should be familiar with:
Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is usually used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Car Key – automotive keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little 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 motels 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 main difference is in the way they operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up 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.
