Attention!
The cylinder lock has to have an emergency operation feature.
That means that the cylinder lock can be opened from the outside independent
of whether a key is inserted on the inside or not.
With ”normal” cylinder locks, the key inserted on the inside will block opening
from the outside. The door can no longer be opened from the outside!
