Standard Keys

Despite the rise of smart fobs and electronic access control, the traditional mechanical key remains a cornerstone of physical security across automotive, residential, and commercial applications. At Noble Key Supply, we recognize the enduring need for high-quality, reliable blanks for every traditional locking mechanism.

Materials and Durability

Standard keys are predominantly made from durable brass, which is strong enough to operate a lock without bending yet soft enough not to cause excessive wear on the lock’s internal components. To enhance aesthetics and provide an extra layer of tarnish resistance, these brass keys are often nickel-plated, giving them a shiny, silver appearance.

Key Head Types: Metal vs. Plastic

The design of the key head primarily serves user comfort and identification:
  • All-Metal Keys: These are the classic, minimalist keys often favored for their slim profile and durability. They slide easily onto a keyring and withstand significant daily abuse.
  • Plastic Head Keys: These modern alternatives feature a metal blade embedded in a larger plastic bow or head. They offer a more ergonomic grip, making the key easier to turn, and the plastic can be colored for easy identification on a crowded keyring.

Applications Across Industries

These fundamental keys span all sectors of locksmithing:
  • Residential and Commercial: Standard Kwikset, Schlage, and Corbin locks still use basic brass or nickel-plated keys daily. Locksmiths rely on quality blanks to duplicate keys for homes, offices, and storefronts.
  • Automotive: While modern cars have transitioned to transponders and smart fobs, older models and fleet vehicles still rely on traditional mechanical keys. The metal blade is essential for physical entry and starting the ignition in many vehicles.
Noble Key Supply provides a vast inventory of metal and plastic-head key blanks, ensuring locksmiths always have the right stock for every standard application, from a simple mailbox to a commercial building door.
