Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by controlling 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 crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone indoors.

Types of keys a professional locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In homes, for example, master keys are almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Car Keys – automotive keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card loaded with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are often found in hotels and offices.
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 operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock making the levers to line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
