Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions such as double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – They can be opened from inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a reverse turn of the key. The latch can be held 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 simple deadlock function. A simple key turn will deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock people indoors.

Vehicle Keys – Car keys are used to lock and unlock car doors, trunks and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are commonly found in motels and commercial properties.
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 these keys work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to line up and shift 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 which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
