Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from the inside by controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a reverse turn of the key. 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 crude deadlock function. A simple key turn should 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, but also means that it is possible to lock someone inside.
