Well there are many types of locks out there but one the most popular ones in use today are the Pin Tumbler locks and for this lock there are 9 different depths that can be cut in the key, 1 being the shallowest cut and 9 deing the deepest cut. Now most locksmiths will have a set of 9 keys which each will be numbered from 1 to 9 now the key numbered #1 will have all cuts number 1 on it and the other key numbered #2 will have all and only number 2 cuts and so on. Now this locks can have 3 up to 7 pins but the usual would be 5 pins so your code keys would have 5 cuts one after another on the key all of the same depth. So for example you #1 code key would have 5 cuts one after another all the same depth which in this case would be a very shallow cut, but that's what a code key is in locksmithing.
