The skeleton keys were common in both cabinetry and door locks in early Colonial America. They stayed in common usage within the United States through the 1940s. After World War II the pin tumbler lock took its place.

Read More »I must say that I have quite a fascination with antique skeleton keys. I particularly enjoy working with the ornate styles and incorporating them into my designs. I find myself imagining their purposes in years past. The homes they locked up safe at night or small shops they opened for businesses each morning. The skeleton key is also commonly known as a passkey. A skeleton keys purpose was to bypass the wards inside a warded lock. This is the same as a lever or “bit” type key. A skeleton key is a key that is filed and/ or cut so that it may unlock a variety of warded locks. I’m sure you have noticed that some skeleton keys are hollow at the shaft. This was done to allow it to pass by the wards without unlocking or locking the lock. Wards were placed in the center and on the outside, making it harder for illegal attempts at making an entry successful. A skeleton key has a very simple design. It has a cylindrical shank and one to two minimal flat, rectangular tooth/ teeth or bit/ bits. Skeleton keys are also distinguished by their bow which is the part one would hold when inserting the key. These keys were most popular in the late 1800s. A bit key is distinguished from a barrel key in that a bit key usually has a solid shank, whereas a barrel shafted key can be made either by drilling out the shank from the bit end or by folding metal into a barrel shape when forging the key. The skeleton keys were common in both cabinetry and door locks in early Colonial America. They stayed in common usage within the United States through the 1940s. After World War II the pin tumbler lock took its place. Most skeleton keys and their locks were made of brass, but pewter was sometimes used to make them as well. I find great joy in incorporating skeleton keys into a piece of jewelry. Skeleton keys are such beautiful representations of history and carry great distinction in their unique designs. A beautiful skeleton key hung from a simple chain makes for a simple and classic accessory.

The most important differences are the size and position of the Enter/Return, and a few differences in the layout. The ~ key and the key have an entirely different position on both keyboards. Also, the US keyboard has no € label (although it can be entered: Alt + Shift + 2 ). The International keyboard (‘keyboard type’ = ISO) also has one more key than the US keyboard (‘keyboard type’ = ANSI). Some Apple keyboard layouts use that key for essential characters, and this can cause problems for users with only the US keyboard.
You could potentially build a custom keyboard for as little as $100, but it's not recommended, because at that price you can get a prebuilt...
