Mississippi Locks

Top-of-the-line models will include more functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from inside by controlling the lever unless it is deadlocked from outside with a reverse key turn. You can hold the latch back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A simple turn of the key will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock people indoors.

If you really want to complete home security, you can improve your home protection by implementing a burglar alarm.

House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The main difference is in the way they operate.

Cylinder lock keys align the lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
