The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a simple deadlock function. A reverse key turn will 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 makes it possible to lock yourself inside.

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 these keys work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to line up 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 thus enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
