Restricted Key
A restricted key, also known as a restricted keyway or restricted key system, refers to a type of key that is designed to provide a higher level of security and key control. In a restricted key system, keys are specially designed and manufactured to be unique to a specific lock or group of locks within a system.
A key that is patent protected is illegal to copy unless you have special permission. This is designed to keep the key from being freely cut and limits access to the lock it works in. Restricted keys are usually cut with specialty equipment, so not just anyone can make them.
Night Latch
A night latch, also known as a rim lock, is a type of latch lock commonly found on household doors. It’s mounted on the inside surface of the door, with the latch bolt extending into the door frame to secure it.
Night latches are often used as a secondary lock in addition to the primary lock on the door, such as a mortice deadlock or a Euro cylinder lock. Prices start at £65 to supply and fit.
Deadlock
A deadlock, also known as a deadbolt, is a type of lock mechanism commonly used to secure doors. Deadlocks provide additional security compared to latch locks because they feature a solid metal bolt that extends into the door frame, making it more resistant to forced entry.

They are often installed in conjunction with other types of locks, such as latch locks or night latches, to provide multiple layers of security.
Multipoint Lock
