A Key grants you to access to a thing with a lock (e.g. Steel Door, Steel Trapdoor, Locked Chest), even if you don't own it. You can obtain keys from other players or making your own from a Skeleton Key. Each key is unique and only fits into one lock. If the locked thing has been removed, the key won't unlock anything.
Usage
Wield the key and right-click on a locked thing to attempt to access it. If the key fits, you perform the action (e.g. you open a door). If it doesn't fit, the key does nothing. You can always smelt keys back to gold ingots when they have become useless.
Creating a key
Keys are made from skeleton keys. See Skeleton Key to learn how to make your own keys.
