|  | | | This very well may be a lame question, but I dont know much about keys/locks.
I found these keys near an active location I'd like to checkout. Could anyone tell me or post pictures of what kind of locks these keys would go into? So far I've ruled out padlocks.
The ones lined up with each other are the same key, but flipped over. Also the one on the right looks very peculiar. What sort of locks are these used in?

| | | | The ones on the right look like some locker keys I have seen....
Can I ask what type of location, that might help.

| | | | Are you sure you have exhausted the possibility of them being padlock keys? I mean, say if they were found near the gym, its possible its for the cages where they lock up the balls, etc. Also, Im not sure about the school in question, but at mine you needed a key to operate the bleachers in the gym as far as them being pulled out for games or being "folded" back up for gym class. Honestly, they could be a million things, but most likely not for a typical door. The first looks like standard office door keys. And that last one, I dont know, perhaps a master key for something since the grooves are so deep?

| | | | Lol hun, Im no expert, but usually the master keys are a little deeper. A roof rack is not too promising though! =(

| | | | I'm guessing a trophy case or something similar for the ones on the right.
The one on the left might be a tractor or something to that effect. Not a lot of doors or locks have double sided keys. Some do, but not a lot.

| | | | the top left and bottom left both look like car keyes, they look really similar to older honda and datsun keyes i used to cut when i worked at a hardware store.
the one on the far right with no text is different than most keyes, on most the cutting wheel has a 90deg side and a 45deg side kinda looks like this : |/ but with a point obviously. the 'no text' key was cut with a 60deg wheel it looks like. a lot harder to find -the wheels are- so it may be a restricted access key.

| | | | Yup. The master key got me into a sweet excavated tunnel thing with pipes running through it. It looks like a room where they used to tortue students. With a wierd lightbulb hanging from the ceiling.

| | | | Yup. I'm going to eventually create this school as a location and post plenty of pictures of all the cool *off limits* parts of it.
Here is where that master key on the very right opens.
It look like a room they used to use to interrogation kids....Haha
Creepy light bulb hanging from the ceiling with nothing but a cinder block to sit on. Maybe they used to lock the naughty children up in there. But seriously. I wonder why that room was used for. On the school map it says that this area is "unexcavated" It could not have been build purely for the purpose of harbouring those pipelines.
The writing above the entrance from the inside reads: "I WONT" then under that it says: "you will"

| | | | The first key, double-sided, appears to be for a Toyota. The second key,a common milling configuration, which could be for any number of things. Cam lock, filing cabinet key, Thermostat box etc. The last key appears to be for a Slaymaker lock.
