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

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.
