They're actually known as keyway locks. Their original purpose was to be placed inside a mortice lock for extra security. This is common in antique furniture that might only have a single lever lock, making it easy to pick. Sliding the keyway lock into the keyhole then secures the furniture's compartment. In practice they vary in size, but those meant for chastity cages are all uniform. If you're buying one as a replacement, keep an eye out: cheaper versions have a rectangular plate hiding the mechanism, while higher quality ones have sturdier builds with three or four round inserts visible to show where the pins go.
