Which model is being sold here? I see more than one type? Does it have brass locks?

The toy is exactly what you see here. Each door has a lock that has to be opened with a specific key. All the keys are attached to the black cord you can see hanging from the handle. It has four little people, one to go behind each door. Each door has a door bell with a different sound. My grandson enjoys it. I hope this helps.

How do you get hold of some spare keys for this toy

You could contact Melissa & Doug in Southampton and they may be able to help. Their number is 0800 731 0578 or email care@melissaanddoug.com

House vs board? Which does your child prefer?

Whose asking? I bought the house for my grandson and he has had hours of fun playing with it, worth the money. I don't know what you mean by 'board'. Whatever it is we don't have it.

What batteries does this take?

Bought as a gift not yet opened but didn't realise/think it has batteries!
