“A key. A key will open a particular lock.”
A Key is a miscellaneous item in Fallout.
Background[edit]
There are several keys found in the wasteland, categorized into one of two types. There are low-tech keys for mechanical locks and high-tech key cards for electronic locks. Low tech locks look similar to commonly found key ring variants.
High-tech electronic lock keys appear as brightly colored flat plates or cards. Electronically locked doors are often color-coded so that one can figure out which color key card goes with which door.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
A key that has been crafted to open a particular lock. Commonly found throughout the wasteland, in areas where previous owners once lived or worked.

There are several types of keys in Fallout 2, but they all fall into one of two types: low-tech keys for mechanical locks and high-tech key cards for electronic locks. If the key looks like one you might find on your own key ring at home, it's for a low-tech lock. If the key looks like a brightly colored flat plate or card, it's for a high-tech electronic lock. Electronically locked doors are often color coded so that you can figure out which color key card goes with which door.
