The basic model is a simple latch that can be opened from the inside and released with a key from the outside. Top-of-the-range models will include more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.
Tubular Deadbolt – It can be opened from the inside by operating the lever unless it is deadlocked from the outside with a simple key turn. The latch can be held back by using the snib.
The outside operation is by key, but this 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 stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also makes it possible to lock someone inside.

Makes of keys a decent locksmith should be familiar with:

Master Key – Master keys are a key used to open many different locks. In homes, for instance, the master key is almost always used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys are unable to function in this way.
Car Key – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key of the vehicle itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very minimal security.
Key cards – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open access control locks which are regularly found in motels and offices.
House Keys – house keys come in two different types: 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 elevate flat levers in the lock allowing 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 that enables it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
