A lock including a lock casing (1), a locking mechanism (2) dislaceable therein and connected to a latch bolt (2a) and block means (12), which are movable transversally to the displacement direction of the locking mechanism and resiliently loaded (14) towards positions blocking the locking mechanism, wherein the blocking means can be brought to releasing positions by insertion of a card (3) serving as a key and having recesses (3a) corresponding to the blocking means. The blocking means (12) are preferably annular and entirely guided in the displaceable locking mechanism (2) as well as moveable between two blocking end positions, in which each blocking means is in locking engagement with the lock casing (1a,1b). The card (3) belonging to the lock has through-going, elongated slits (3a) located and dimensioned to receive the annular blocking means (12), so that upon insertion of the card all the blocking means (12) are brought to intermediate positions permitting the displacement of the locking mechanism.
A lock including a lock casing, a locking mechanism displaceable in said lock casing and connected to a latch bolt, and annular blocking means, which are movable transversally to the displacement direction of the locking mechanism and resiliently loaded towards positions blocking the locking mechanism, the blocking means being adapted be brought to releasing positions by insertion of a card serving as a key and having recesses corresponding to the blocking means, said blocking means being entirely guided in the displaceable locking mechanism and movable between two blocking end positions, in which each blocking means is in locking engagement with the lock casing, and said card belonging to the lock having through-going, elongated slits located and dimensioned to receive arcuate portions of the blocking means, so that upon insertion of the card all the blocking means are brought to intermediate positions permitting the displacement of the locking mechanism.
