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

Makes of keys a locksmith should be able to service:

Master keys – A master key is a key used to open more than one set of locks. In houses, for instance, the master key is normally used to open all the doors in that particular residence, but the other room keys cannot do that.
Vehicle Keys – Car keys are made to lock and unlock car doors, boots (trunks) and glove compartments as well as being the ignition key for the vehicle itself.
Skeleton keys – skeleton keys, or passkeys, are a simple make of key which is meant to open drawers and cabinets. A skeleton key offers very little security.
Key Card – a key card is usually a card with an electronic signature on it. It is used to open acess 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 lift flat levers in the lock allowing the levers to align and move 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 which allows it to rotate,turn the key, and open the lock.
