[QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 941153, member: 22"]A skeleton key is a type of master key in which the serrated edge has been removed so that it can open numerous locks, most commonly the warded lock. The term derives from the fact that the key has been reduced to its essential parts. I doubt this is 500 years old.[/QUOTE]
