key blank
Key before cutting
A key blank is an uncut key—a metal blank with the correct profile to fit a particular lock type but without the notches or grooves that would actually operate the mechanism.
Locksmiths cut key blanks to match existing keys or lock cylinders.
The hardware store had the right key blank for my deadbolt.
