Top-of-the-line models will include more functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a simple turn of the key. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple key turn should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock yourself indoors.

Key makes a locksmith can service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for example, the master key is usually used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys are unable to do that.
Car Key – automotive keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment as well as serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial properties.
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 these keys function. Lever lock keys raise 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.
