Abstract (en)

A lock (1) adapted to prevent forcing of the lock, by bumping the lock, said lock (1) including a key hole (5) to allow insertion of a key (8) to operate the lock, a barrel (3) including a number of bores (9), a casing (2) including a number of corresponding bores (6) to the bores (9) in the barrel (3), and a number of locking pins (10) located in said bores (6) of the casing and the barrel to prevent rotation of the barrel with respect the casing unless the locking pins are correctly aligned in the bores (6,9). Each locking pin has at least two component parts (10,12) so that when the key (8) to operate the lock is inserted in the keyhole the locking pins (9) are depressed and aligned so that the barrel (3) can be rotated with respect to the casing (2) wherein at least one of the locking pins (9) has a component part (10) located in the casing when the lock is capable of being operated that is split into two or more members (11a, 11b).
