The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and let go with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is 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 this 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 deters intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock someone inside.

If you want to complete home security, you can increase protection of your house by installing a residential alarm system. The majority of criminals would rather target a house or commercial property which is not protected by a burglar alarm. Also, government statistics show that the majority of attempted break ins committed on protected properties are actually unsuccessful. This proves that burglar alarms are an excellent form of security and a sucessful deterrent to most prospective burglars.

Car Keys – automotive keys are made to open car doors, trunks and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very poor security.

House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way these keys function.

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