When your home is your castle, the key that unlocks that door should be something special.
Keys to my Castle is a collection of classic, couture, and inspirational key blanks that when ground to your key’s specifications, open the doors to your special places.
Designer Michele Lilley created the line inspired by her grandmother’s collection of enchanted objects. There are dozens of different types, and each key has a whimsical and unique design.
These key blanks can be cut to fit most any lock by a professional locksmith.
You’re handed a pretty little box and you wonder what’s inside? It’s tied with a satin ribbon. You undo the bow, open the lid, and peer inside. You see a key, nestled into the velvet lining of the box.
This is not like any key you’ve ever seen. Does it open the gate to a secret garden? Is it the key to your loved one’s heart or their secret hideaway? Is it the one you purchased for your first home? Does it mean “please move in with me?” There are so many emotions you can tie to a key, but these decorative key blanks are really something unique that will always be a reminder of what the key unlocks!
The three keys in the photo above are just a tiny sample of what’s available on the Keys to My Castle Website.
