Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from inside by controlling the lever unless it has been deadlocked from the outside with a simple turn of the key. The latch can be held 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 will deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This deters intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.
