door lock
Key-operated security device
A door lock is a mechanical or electronic device that secures a door in the closed position, preventing entry without a key, code, or other means of release.
The term covers everything from simple deadbolts to smart locks operated by smartphone: The door lock jammed and we had to call a locksmith.
In automotive contexts, door locks may be manual or power-operated.
