Makes of keys a good locksmith should be able to service:

Vehicle Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, trunks and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are often found in hotels and offices.
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 operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and move 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 that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
