Bit keys are a special type of key that are used particularly in older locks and in special applications such as furniture and safes. The term "bit" refers to the jagged part of the key that grips the lock and unlocks it when the key is turned.

Which bit keys are there?

Bart keys are a traditional type of key that is mainly used for furniture, cellar doors, garages or old buildings. They differ fundamentally from modern cylinder keys due to their simple mechanical design.

Buntbart key

The bit key is probably the most commonly used type of bit key. This type of key is mainly used in room doors, old front doors and sometimes also in cupboard doors. The name "Buntbart" is derived from the shape of the beard, which can vary to prevent any key from fitting into the lock. However, this type of key does not offer a high level of security, as they can be imitated or manipulated relatively easily.

Double-bit key

The double-bit key is a slightly more secure variant that is often used for safe locks and high-quality door locks. It has two symmetrical bit segments arranged on both sides of the key. This double structure makes the lock more resistant to simple manipulation and therefore offers a higher level of security compared to the bit key.

Furniture keys

Furniture keys are specially designed for use in furniture, such as antique cabinets, chests of drawers and desks. They are often smaller and more delicate than conventional bit keys and fit into specially designed furniture locks. These keys often have a decorative design and, especially with old or antique furniture, are not only functional but also an aesthetic element.
