keylock

Door security device

A keylock is a lock that requires a key to open, as opposed to combination locks, electronic locks, or other mechanisms.

The term often appears as an adjective describing devices secured this way: keylock switch, keylock ignition.

In wrestling, a keylock is an arm lock that bends the opponent's limb at an angle resembling a key.
