Skeleton Keys

Architectural skeleton keys are different from standard furniture skeleton keys. Most furniture keys are small and have a bit sticking out from one side of the key. For architectural locks, the key generally has two bits, one on either side of the key. These keys are also longer. One similarity between the keys is the need for trial and error to find one that fits. The keys listed here are some of the most popular designs in the hopes of finding the right fit for your lock.
