Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9627724A1] A cylinder lock (10) having a changeable key combination, the cylinder lock including a cylinder housing (14) defining a bore (17), a plug (16) arranged in the bore (17) and defining a keyway (22) and at least one plug pin (25) disposed in the plug along at least one plug pin axis and communicating with the keyway, the at least one plug pin (25) having a key engagement end face (37) communicating with the keyway, the key engagement end face (37) being configured such that rotation of the plug pin (25) about the plug pin axis effects a change in the key combination of the cylinder lock and wherein the cylindrical housing (14) defines at least one access opening (20) which permits access to the at least one plug pin (25) for selectable rotational positioning thereof for changing the key combination of the cylinder lock by means of rotation of the at least one plug pin (25) about the at least one plug pin axis. Various keys suitable for use with the lock are also described and claimed.
