I'm looking for a lock with both a latch and a bolt, where an outside key and inside thumbturn will operate the bolt, but after retracting the bolt, a further turn will retract the latch.
this essentially means the lock would not require a handle on either side.

Most lock cases i see don't give a very good description of the action, or it is difficult to track down.

Is there a keyword i should be using or do most locks do this by default?

You'll still need the handle though to throw the hooks, doubt you could exert enough force with just the key
