In plain English

This category covers padlocks, locks, clasps with frames, and keys made from base metal. The items are divided based on their specific type and intended use, such as locks designed for motor vehicles, furniture, or other applications. Additional classifications separate parts of these locking mechanisms and keys that are presented on their own.
