Here is a short explanation of the types of locks:
- Deadlocking have a button inside the door lock so opening from the outside is not possible (even with a key). unlikely to open the door from the outside, regardless of whether you have a key or not.
- Auto deadlocking The door is automatically deadlocked when the door closes. This is a high-security method of locking.
- Standard Good enough for insurance companies, and the police, it provides maximum security.
Drawback Locking and unlocking can be done from the outside and inside using a key code.
