A key is considered a type of lever, specifically a wheel and axle. The circular shape of the key allows it to turn smoothly within the lock, acting as a wheel on an axle. When the key is turned, it exerts force on the internal mechanisms of the lock, allowing it to unlock or lock the mechanism in place.
