house keys
Front entrance unlockers
House keys are the keys that unlock the doors to one's home.
The term functions as a unit—you grab your house keys before leaving, not your "keys to the house." Forgetting or losing them creates a specific domestic crisis: I locked myself out; I left my house keys on the kitchen counter.
