Different Types of Keys and Their Uses
Cylinder Keys
These keys have a cylindrical design, typically made from metal and feature specific ridges and grooves that match the internal mechanism of the lock.
When the key is inserted and turned, it aligns the pins inside the lock, allowing it to open.
Cylinder keys are easy to duplicate and commonly found in various properties.
Dimple High Security Keys
These dimples correspond to unique pin configurations inside the lock, making it much harder to pick or drill.
Cutting and duplicating these keys require specialised equipment and expertise.
Their intricate design makes unauthorised duplication very difficult, providing robust protection against security threats.
Mortice Keys
Mortice locks are typically installed in wooden doors. These keys have a rectangular or square shaft with specific cuts or grooves along one side.
The grooves correspond to the lock's internal levers and pins, allowing the key to turn and unlock the mechanism.
Mortice keys are generally thicker and more durable than other keys, offering enhanced security due to the complex internal structure of the lock.
Summary
- Cylinder Keys: Commonly used in residential and commercial cylinder locks; easy to duplicate; feature ridges and grooves.
- Dimple High Security Keys: Provide enhanced security with unique dimple patterns; resistant to picking and drilling; require specialised equipment for duplication.
- Mortice Keys: Used with mortice locks in wooden doors; have a rectangular or square shaft with specific grooves; offer robust security due to their durable design.
The type of key you choose depends on your specific lock system and the level of security you need.
Cylinder keys are versatile and widely used, dimple high security keys offer advanced protection and mortice keys provide strength and durability for secure locking mechanisms.
