The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened at all times from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.

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

Key types a locksmith should be familiar with:
Master Key – A master key is a key used to open multiple locks. In homes, for example, master keys are usually used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Car Key – vehicle keys are used to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key for the automobile itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. It is used to open acess locks which are commonly found in motels 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 allowing the levers to align and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock that allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
