Body: The main part of the lock, often rectangular or cylindrical in shape, which houses the internal locking mechanism. Shackle: In padlocks and some types of door locks, the shackle is the U-shaped or straight metal loop that extends from the lock body and is used to secure the lock. Keyway: The slot or hole in the lock body where the key is inserted to operate the lock. The keyway is designed to match the specific shape and pattern of the key. Key: A metal object with a unique pattern or combination of notches and grooves that, when inserted into the keyway and turned, engages the locking mechanism to open or close the lock. Tumblers or Pins: Inside the lock body, there are a series of small components called tumblers or pins. These are arranged in a way that they align with the key's notches when the correct key is inserted, allowing the lock to turn and open. Locking Mechanism: The internal components that prevent the lock from turning or being opened without the correct key. This can include pins, levers, springs, or other mechanisms depending on the type of lock. Cylinder: In some locks, like cylinder locks, the locking mechanism is housed within a cylindrical casing. The key is inserted into the cylinder to operate the lock. Faceplate: In some door locks, a faceplate covers the area around the keyhole and may include additional features such as a strike plate to reinforce the door frame. Finish: Brass locks often have a polished or brushed finish to enhance their appearance and provide additional protection against corrosion. Keyed Alike or Master Keyed: Some brass locks can be keyed alike, meaning multiple locks can be opened with the same key. Master keying allows one key to open multiple locks, while each lock also has its unique key.Specifications
