There could be at least 10 types of wards but i will wait before naming them as others probably want to have a go

ten's probably the minimum amount, I have a set of skeleton key's that if extended would probably jiggle that old sash lock open!
Looking through my little book here, there's loads of different wards, and therefore i shall not even hazard a guess!
