They are normally either 3 or 5 lever locks you need to consider a BS 3621 (Insurance Rated) 5 lever Dead Lock on all external doors and Three Lever Dead Locks on Internal Doors.

Also found on wooden doors Mortice Sash Locks are an extension to the Mortice Dead Lock where a latch would be included within the lock case and these types of locks normally work with Handles that have key holes as well. The latch is designed to hold the door into the frame and the dead lock to throw the bolt into the keep to secure the door into place.
