The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and released with a key from outside. Top-of-the-range models will incorporate additional functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse key turn. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a simple deadlock function. A simple turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also means that it is possible to lock someone inside.

Key types a locksmith should service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open a lot of different locks. In homes, for example, the master key is normally used to open every door lock in the house, but each other room key cannot do that.
Automotive Keys – Car keys are made to open car doors, the car trunk and the glove compartment in addition to serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple type of key that can open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open acess locks which are commonly found in hotels and commercial offices.
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 these keys operate. Lever lock keys elevate flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and move a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys align the pins in the lock with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock enabling it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
