Keyed Entry
Keyed Entry locks have a locking mechanism requiring a key, these are standard on front and back doors to your home.
Hall/Closet (Passage)
Hall/Closet a.k.a Passage locks do not have a locking mechanism, meaning you cannot lock a passage door lever or knob. The knobs and levers freely operate the hardware latch. You will most likely use a passage lock on your interior doors that lead into rooms that do not require privacy. An example of this is a door that leads into a pantry.
Bed/Bath (Privacy)
Bed/Bath a.k.a Privacy locks have a locking mechanism, a way to lock the door from the inside of the room using a locking push pin. You will most likely use a passage lock on your interior doors that lead into bedrooms, bathrooms and any room that requires privacy.
Half-Dummy
Dummy levers and knobs are fixed, meaning they do not operate like passage or privacy sets. You will most likely use a dummy lever where no latch is needed, but a grip is needed in order to open or close the door. An example of this is on closet doors or french doors.
