Types of keys a well-trained locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for example, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – Car keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal 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 – 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 lift flat levers in the lock making the levers to line up 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 which permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
