Tubular Keys:
Also known as “Ace Type Keys” or “Round Keys”. The tubular key is designed to actuate locks which are constructed with the pin tumblers arranged in a circular fashion. The key is constructed with a cylindrical body designed to enter the keyway of such a lock. Various cuts which appear on the circumference of this key allow the pin tumblers of the lock to be depressed to the proper depth thereby meeting a common shear line, and allowing the lock to turn. Proper arrangement and depth of these cuts are critical in order for the lock to be actuated smoothly and efficiently.
