The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock someone inside.

Types of keys a decent locksmith should service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for instance, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and the glove compartment in addition to being the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key used to open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access locks which are often found in hotels and commercial properties.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way they function. Lever lock keys lift flat levers in the lock making the levers to align and move 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 that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
