The Tubular Key

A tubular key has a hollow, cylindrical shaft that is shorter in length but larger in diameter than a conventional key.

A tubular key has a hollow, cylindrical shaft that is shorter in length but larger in diameter than a conventional key. It is designed to open a tubular pin tumbler lock. At the end of the shaft and parallel to it are grooves of different lengths. The pins in the lock slide to the ends of the groove. A small tab on the outside of the shaft prevents the pins from pushing the key out. The hollow center guides the key as it is turned. This type of key is hard to duplicate. Not only is it less common, but it can only be duplicated by a special type of machine.
