You have to change all your locks to have only one type of keys though.

No, it's pretty obviously just rods going through the "eye" of the keys, any kind with holes (which are the vast majority) should work. They're obviously gonna use the same kind of keys in the product photos but that doesn't mean its a forced thing. If it was a forced thing they'd not sell at all and wouldn't have come to the position of being mentioned here.

It only works with basic keys. Anything that isn't slender and flat with teeth on one side juste won't fit. Maybe all keys are like that in the US, but it's certainly not true elsewhere.

My home key and school key both are smart things with RFID tags so wouldn't fit. If they did I'd definitely rock one lf those.

I think they try to make these things so you can just put in your normal keys, so they work with the different key profiles.

I've got house keys, storage unit keys and padlock keys on that bad boy. I drilled out a post office key to make it big enough for the screw once.
