The outside operation is by key, but this can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a easy deadlock function. A reverse turn of the key should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This stops unwanted intruders from getting in via another means and undoing the lock with the lever, but also means that it is possible to lock people inside.

Key makes a decent locksmith should service:

Master keys – Master keys are a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is almost always used to open every door lock in the house, but the other room keys are unable to function in this way.
Vehicle Keys – Car keys are used to open car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as serving as the ignition key of the car itself.
Skeleton Key – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple kind 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 an electronic signature on it. Key cards are used to open electronic access control locks which are regularly found in hotels and commercial properties.
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 they function. 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 lock pins with the key and the shear line of the cylinder lock which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
