Abstract (en)

A lock cylinder (1) has at least one tumbler pin arrangement (12, 13, 14) which includes an intermediate element (14) between the housing and plug pins (12, 13). A conversion key (21) is provided with a pocket (23) in its back edge (22) for receiving the intermediate element (14) for removing the latter, thus to vary the tumbler configuration. A transverse groove (24) is formed in the cylinder plug (7) to enable the conversion key (21) to continue to operate the lock after conversion, by providing run-off surfaces (F) which cam the housing pin (12) out of rotation-preventing condition. A modified conversion key (21') can be provided for inserting an intermediate element (14) also, this key comprising a through-bore (26) for an element-ejecting rod (27).
