Makes of keys a good locksmith can service:

Car Key – automotive keys are used to open car doors, boots (trunks) 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 kind of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open electronic access locks which are often 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 difference is in the way these keys work. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
