Top-of-the-line models will incorporate more functions such as 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 has been deadlocked from 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 the snib button on the inside as a basic deadlock function. A simple key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.This prevents intruders from gaining access via another means and releasing the lock with the lever inside, but also makes it possible to lock people indoors.
