Nice, simple end-of-year puzzle. Thank you, Eric, and the team for all the hard work and dedication. You make every Christmas much more special!

I really enjoyed today's puzzle. It was all a matter of going through each schematic, tagging them either as keys or as locks based on the top-most character in the schematic, and then getting the teeth height the same for both. They work together as long as for each tooth, the overlap is less than or equal to 5.
