Right, but you forgot to mention, that you can only buy your keys from one vendor which might or not might sell you one, depending on if he likes your house. The key vendor also has the ability to revoke your keys validity anytime, because someone else (from a different house) lost his key somewhere.
You also neglected to mention that *all* houses need to be locked, and for some (ARM) he does not need to sell you a key at all. A tad annoying if you can't get into your office because you can't get a key for it.
Your analogy isn't really appropriate on so many levels :-)...
