Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse 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 basic deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone indoors.

Vehicle Keys – vehicle keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and the glove compartment as well as being the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key used to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access control locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial offices.
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 operate. Lever lock keys lift 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 which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
