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 reverse key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.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 inside.

Types of keys a locksmith should be familiar with:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In houses, for example, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but each other room key cannot function in this way.
Automotive Keys – Car keys are used to open car doors, the car trunk and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key that can open drawers and cabinets. Skeleton keys offer very little security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card encoded with digital signature on it. The key card is used to open access control locks which are regularly found in motels and commercial buildings.
House Keys – there are two types of house keys: house keys for lever locks and house keys for pin tumbler cylinder locks. The difference is in the way these keys operate. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock which allows the levers to align 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 that permits it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
