The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.
