A house key is the most common type of key. There are two main types of house keys. The older form is a lever lock key.
These keys are usually slightly bigger and heavier than their more modern counterparts; the pin-tumbler lock key. With a pin-tumbler key
there are grooves on both sides of the key blade and it is slightly smaller and lighter. Both types of keys will have an identifying
code on the key and a corresponding code on the lock that it is designed to fit. You can use these codes to help generate an order for your replacement keys. Magnum Millenco, Yale Superior and S-Tech keys have the cutting information on a key code card and keys can be cut to code by quoting the A, B and C codes stated on the key code card.

A common problem with finding the code for a padlock key is corrosion, as many padlocks are used as part of an outdoor security
measure and therefore subject to adverse weather conditions. If you can identify the brand and code of the padlock then there will be no
problem in generating a replacement key.

longer in operation, but replacement keys can be obtained by using the name of the brand and the code of the key.
