Top-of-the-range models will incorporate more functions like double-locking, dead-locking, resistance to hacksaw and drill attack and resistance to picking.

The outside operation is by key, but it can be disabled by using the snib button on the inside as a crude deadlock function. A reverse key turn should deadlock both the bolt and lever inside.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 inside.
