This man has the keys to the city — and he’s selling them for a measly 150 bucks.

If the wrong person buys a set, we could all be in trouble.

Retired New Jersey locksmith Daniel Ferraris, 69, is hawking what he calls a “firemen’s key ring” — and what a terrorist might call a dream come true.

The set consists of five keys that would allow control of virtually any elevator in the city, could knock out power to municipal buildings and skyscrapers, darken city streets, open subway gates and some firehouse doors and provide full access to 1 World Trade Center and other construction sites.

HURT UNLOCKER: Retiredlocksmith Daniel Ferraris — with his master-key set in hand — greets a buyer at his home in Union City, NJ.

Ferraris sold an undercover Post reporter the key-collection ring after posting his wares on eBay under the user name “thesixlever.”

Total cost: $149.95.

He agreed to hand them off at his home in Union City, just minutes from the Lincoln Tunnel, saying the keys “probably still work, but don’t try to use them.” He asked no questions.

Most of the keys did, in fact, work.

Three of the five are standard issue for members of the FDNY, and the set had a metal dog tag that was embossed with an FDNY lieutenant’s shield number, 6896.

The keys include the all-purpose “1620,” a master firefighter key that with one turn could trap thousands of people in a skyscraper by sending all the elevators to the lobby and out of service, according to two FDNY sources. And it works for buildings across the city.

That key also allows one to open locked subway entrances, gain entry to many firehouses and get into boxes at construction jobs that house additional keys to all areas of the site.

The ring sold to The Post has two keys used by official city electricians that would allow access to street lamps, along with the basement circuit-breaker boxes of just about any large building.

The sale of the newer of the two, a Yale 47 key, prompted concern from the city Department of Transportation.

“That key belongs on the key rings of our city electricians, not on the auction block,” an agency official said.

Former FDNY and NYPD Commissioner Howard Safir also sounded the alarm.

“These keys are issued to firefighters for emergency situations,” he said. “Just anyone having them is very dangerous.”

Okay, people seem to be more interested in one who claims to have six toes.
It is what it is...

Is it butt hurt that your thread isn't as popular as a six toes thread?

Perhaps... Anon

Since they pictured the keys, can't someone make copies based off the pictures? It shouldn't be to hard.

What is BS about it?

I posessed the master key of a train station for a while to do my work.

I had access to everything.

No, just proving how stupid people on this forum can be.

Maybe time to move on..

30 years ago I to had one of those keys that worked in a city in Holland.
Every large building I could enter that way.
Tested and it worked.

Never really used it, I just liked keys and locks.
I made it myself, it was fun.

And a set of lockpicks opens more doors for less money.
If there's a security fault, it's making all the locks accessible by the same key, but I'm pretty sure building codes insist on this. On the other hand, most locks aren't very secure.
