(54)	Vandalproof cabinet and lock protection device

(57) A vandalproof cabinet comprises a housing (1) which has a lockable door (2) at at least one side, which door is for this purpose provided with locking means (3) accessible through a keyhole. To protect the cabinet (1) against forceful opening and other forms of vandalism, a lock protection device (4) is securely connected to the door (2) at the area of the keyhole. The lock protection device (4) comprises a robust body which at the area of the keyhole is provided with a through hole (5). The body further has a cavity (6) which extends substantially transversely to the through hole (5) and intersects the through hole (5). Blocking means (7,8) are present in the cavity (6), blocking up the through hole (5) in a first position and clearing the through hole (5) in a second position, so that the keyhole can be reached with a key.
