Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a reverse key turn. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A reverse key turn will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.
