Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open multiple locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Automotive Keys – vehicle keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as being the ignition key of the automobile itself.
