Book Key

This icon indicates access-controlled content and restricted educational materials in security and permission management applications. Displaying a book with a key symbol, this access control indicator has become the standard for showing premium content, restricted resources, and permission-based learning materials across secured educational platforms.

Users encounter this icon in applications such as premium learning platforms or corporate training systems, where content access requires specific permissions or subscriptions. It appears in educational interfaces during permission checks, or in content management systems where administrators need to control access to sensitive training materials, proprietary knowledge, or subscription-based educational resources.

From an information security perspective, the key element communicates more than simple 'restricted access' - it specifically indicates that valuable content lies behind permission barriers, suggesting both protection and potential accessibility through proper authorization. This authorization emphasis helps in content discovery workflows where users need to understand which materials require additional permissions while maintaining awareness of available premium or restricted content.

Book Key is one of 1,655 icons in Lucide, made by Lucide Contributors and released under ISC. It is drawn on a 24 × 24 grid with a 2 stroke.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds BookKeyIcon to components/icons/lucide-book-key.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed BookKeyIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Yes, if your project has lucide-react: Book Key is `BookKeyIcon` there, used as <BookKeyIcon />. The shadcn.io MCP server answers with that import when it finds the package. Without it, copy the icon from here.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Book Key icon, or any of 1,655 Lucide icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 24 × 24 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation, and its stroke.

Book Key is a line icon drawn with a stroke width of 2. Change it in Customize before you copy, or pass strokeWidth to the installed component when all of its strokes share one width.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Book Key", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. BookKeyIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <BookKeyIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. ISC allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: ISC only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Lucide, Lucide Contributors and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.

Its tags are security, access, book, restricted, key and private. Each tag page lists the icons that carry it from every library, which is the quickest way to find a match for Book Key in another set.
