Metal Magery Skeleton Key Set Reproduction for Antique Furniture - Cabinet Doors, Grandher Clocks, Dresser Drawers, Roll Top Desk Locks | Set of 10 Keys

The term ‘skeleton key’ derives from the fact that the key has been reduced to its essential parts.

However, the name often refers to any antique key, no matter how ornate. As long as there is a bow, a narrow shank or shaft, and a flat extension on one side near the bottom of the shaft, a key is often considered a skeleton key.

Although a skeleton key is a “master key,” not all skeleton keys are the same. The size and cut of the key’s bit, as well as the diameter of its barrel, determine whether it fits with a lock. Additionally, antique (or reproduction antique) skeleton keys are known for their intricate details.

This might leave you wondering, “How can I open a skeleton key lock?” Maybe you have a piece of antique furniture, such as a desk, cabinet, or dresser, that uses a skeleton key. Or maybe you live in an old home that still has the original locks on interior doors. But here’s the catch: You don’t have the original skeleton keys for these locks.

Below you will find the sizes of all the keys included. Hopefully this will help in your determination if the keys below will help unlock your desired locks. Sizes are approximate.
