This video explains how standard locks work.
Basically all the parts of the lock are mass produced. Only the pins are unique. And they’re aren’t actually unique, just the combinations of pins are.

Loads of keys are also the same, there are just enough different keys to make it work.
Some are maybe all unique, I don’t know. What I do know thougjmh is that it’s almost as quick and easy to lock pick simple locks than it is to use the correct key.
