An 11-piece skeleton key set for suitable bit and lever locks
The Fairbanks Set gives trained users an 11-piece skeleton key route for suitable older-style locks. Choose the correct Universal or Reversed Universal option before ordering, then use the set for authorised identification, training, and non-destructive entry work.

Buy this when key-based trial work is the right method
Some older locks respond better to a key-based skeleton set than to picks or bypass wires. This set gives you a compact selection to test common patterns, provided the lock type and profile are suitable.
Profile choice
Universal and Reversed Universal options are separate variants, so choose deliberately.
Key-based technique
Useful for suitable bit and lever locks where a skeleton-key route is appropriate.
Compact spread
Eleven keys give more coverage than carrying a single universal key.

How to use the set responsibly
Identify the lock type first and work gently. Keep the keys in order, avoid forcing a profile, and stop if the lock does not match the method.
- Choose Universal or Reversed Universal before buying.
- Test gently and keep the key order consistent.
- Use only on locks you own or are authorised to open.
Helpful next step: lever lock tools.

Quick answers
Is one option enough?
Choose the profile that matches your intended lock work; the variants are different.
Will these open every old lock?
No. Skeleton keys only work where the lock design and profile are suitable.
Are they for pin cylinders?
No. Use pin-cylinder picks or bump keys for pin-cylinder practice.
What matters most?
Correct lock identification and gentle testing matter more than force.
Add a classic key-based opening route
For the right lock family, the Fairbanks set gives you an organised skeleton-key option.
