Skeleton key

Canon Linked from 18 articles

The skeleton key was a type of key able to open any possible door to anyone wanting to break in. By 48 BBY, Mattis Coto, the prison warden of Devshi prison complex, sold keys to his inmates as a way to buy himself out. A different skeleton key belonged to the slicer DJ. It was made of liquid metal, so its teeth could automatically shape to match any lock. In 34 ABY, DJ used it to escape from his cell in the Canto Bight police headquarters.
