You misread.
Not only did it unlock his door, but it also fit and worked in the
ignition.

The packaging says it is only for the door locks becuase it is not a
very durable unit. Our local AAA (auto club) will make one out of
plastic while you wait to do the same thing.

It is not keyed any different for the doorlock or ignition (though I
can't say about the glove box, eg: a valet key) but it is not designed
to be twisted in the ignition to engage the starter. The stress of
turning on the accesory power mode is nothing compared to the start
position.
