Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a reverse turn of the key. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a simple deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone indoors.

Car Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open acess locks which are often found in motels and commercial buildings.
House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way they work. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
