Abstract
A cylinder housing arrangement, where the cylinder housing encloses a lock cylinder or the like, which comprises a number of locking elements to be arranged by a key, preferably tumbler discs to be turned by a key, which discs in their locked position prevent the turning of the lock cylinder relative to the cylinder housing. The cylinder housing comprises a body part and a separate cover part, which is arranged to be installed in the crosswise direction relative to the cylinder housing at the end of the body part on the inserting side of a key, so that it is locked to the body part in the axial direction of the cylinder housing.

A lock cylinder housing arrangement comprising:
- a cylinder housing comprising a body part having first and second opposite ends and a longitudinal axis, the cylinder housing also comprising a separate cover part that is attached to the body part at the first end thereof, wherein mutual engagement of structural elements of the body part and the cover part locks the cover part to the body part relative to the axial direction of the body part but permits detachment of the cover part from the body part by displacing the cover part relative to the body part in a crosswise direction relative to the body part, and
- a lock cylinder which is enclosed by the cylinder housing and comprises a number of locking elements to be arranged by a key inserted into the lock cylinder from the first end of the body part, which locking elements in an unlocked position allow the lock cylinder to turn relative to the cylinder housing and in a locked position prevent the lock cylinder turning relative to the cylinder housing,
- and wherein the cover part at least partly covers the lock cylinder and prevents removal of the lock cylinder from the cylinder housing.
