The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A simple turn of the key should deadlock both the inside lever and the bolt.This stops intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the inside lever, but also means that it is possible to lock someone indoors.

Car Key – vehicle keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments in addition to serving as the ignition key of the automobile 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 poor security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with digital signature on it. It is used to open electronic access control locks which are often found in hotels 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 they work. Lever lock keys raise flat levers in the lock making the levers to line up and shift a bolt back and forth. Cylinder lock keys line up 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.
