About the Key

A key is a small metal tool that is used to open locks. Locks are mechanisms that prevent something from being opened or accessed, and a key is the tool that allows you to unlock them.

Keys come in many different shapes and sizes, and each key is designed to work with a specific lock. Some keys have simple, straightforward shapes, while others are more complex and ornate.

To use a key, you insert it into the lock and turn it, which either releases a mechanism that allows the lock to be opened, or moves the lock’s tumblers into the correct position so that the lock can be opened.

Keys are used to secure many different types of locks, including locks on doors, cabinets, safes, and vehicles.
