Deadlocks

Be aware that if your battery goes flat while the door deadlocks
are engaged you will not be able to open the doors with remotes
or keys
It happened to me and you have to hacksaw the grill to get at the
bonnet catch

 

you can still get in the drivers door with the key on my 2 cars

 

Or Climb through the boot

Your either pretty stupid or thick

Whats the point of a deadlock then?
I mean how does your lock know the difference between a key and a
screwdriver?

Deadlock are (were) supposed to disengage the key hole.

Erm, no they're not.

They're supposed to stop anyone pulling up the interior doorknob after
they've smashed the window.

 

no they were not.
they were to disarm the pull up button to stop the packing tap/coathanger
brigade

This isn't really the place for a locksmith's course. Search the web for
information on how locks work to discover how they know the difference.

Since, originally, deadlocks were set by the physical use of a key (we
didn't have remote key fobs back in those dark cold days) what would
have been the point in them disabling the locks? You would never have
got back in.

The point of deadlocks is to require the use of the key (remote or
physical) to actuate the locks. On some modern cars (e.g. Vauxhalls) the
lock barrel will spin if more torque than the correct key would apply is
experienced. This gives the same effect you are putting forward.
