Top-of-the-range models will include additional functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it has been deadlocked from 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 it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock yourself inside.

If you want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by implementing a burglar alarm. The majority of criminals would rather target a home or commercial property which is NOT protected by an alarm system. In addition, government statistics show that the majority of attempted burglaries committed on protected residences are actually unsuccessful. This proves that alarm systems are a great form of home security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Car Key – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to being the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card loaded with digital signature on it. Key cards are used to open access control locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial offices.
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 work.

Cylinder lock keys line up the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
