The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and let go with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will include additional functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a simple turn of the key. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock yourself inside.

Car Key – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key for the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly found in hotels and businesses.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way they function. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
