Recently moved to a gym that uses padlocks for locking your stuff, they sell them too for an inflated price of 3.5$, jokingly I tried my key on a friend’s lock, and one more random one, of course it didn’t work and it made me curious.
My question is how do factories make all keys/locks different even at these cheap mass produced kinds that are probably sold for 0.5-2$, how is it worth for a factory to “use different patterns” at that price, or how do they do it?

When I worked at home Depot there was like max 6 different types for home door locks. Most only had two or three different key versions. Many people can possibly unlock your home just by knowing the brand of knob you have. Pretty neat
