    Hi

    My in laws have a lock which opens with a key on the outside but with what looks like an add on knob on the inside. This knob must be twisted like a key so it's like a possible key cover however you can still use a key on the other side.

    Any idea what they are or where I could buy them?

    Its called thumb lock and they can be got from a locksmiths shops and some diy stores.
    Some insurance companies frown on them,as a skinny armed thief or teenager can get their hands in through a latter box and twist them to open the front door.Check with your insurance company 1st before you fit one.
