Fitter in many locks (8,3)

I believe the answer is:

skeleton key

(Other definitions for skeleton key that I've seen before include "Versatile opener" , "That which can open numerous doors" , "it opens many doors" , "Master admitting" , "Device that can open different locks" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
