Anyone know which key to buy to open this lock?

I moved into a new home recently and we've been given the keys to all the rooms but one, now we like the old door and don't want to break it down so I was wondering if any of you knew the exact key I'd need to buy to open this lock:

Looks to be a warded lock. Hardware stores frequently have generic 'keys' for these.

You might be able to look closely inside the key way and see the wards that need to be flipped.. Assuming the door is locked and you want in...

It was a trap set by dragons to catch those with too much curiosity. He succeeded in opening the door, and the dragons ate him.

What concerns me is if the dragons have invaded this realm, or if they simply reset the trap. :roll:

I don't know how I missed this post.

That is by far the creepiest picture of a keyway I have ever seen.

I can just picture the smeared bloody handprints on the opposite side of the door.
