Abstract (en)

The lock has a spring unit for prestressing a casing pin towards a core pin. A panel closure tool (11) lies in the casing pin (8) or the core pin (9), in an opening position. The tool is held in a recess of the casing (1) or a core (2). The tool projects between the core pin and the casing pin, and penetrates into the recess which faces the interlocking bags of the core or the casing, in the closed position.
