<p>A locking mechanism having a lock mount with a core-receiving chamber and a lock core. The lock core includes front and rear core faces and a core body extending between the front and rear core faces, the core body having an outer core surface defining a core boundary. The lock core is slidably mounted within the core-receiving chamber of the lock mount and is movable between a projected position wherein the rear core face is positioned away from the rear mount face of the lock mount by a first distance and a retracted position wherein the rear core face is positioned within the core-receiving chamber and away from the rear mount face by a second distance that is less than the first distance. The lock core further includes a lock lug coupled to the core body and movable between a first lug position outside the core boundary and a second lug position within the core boundary, a travel limit stop coupled to the core body and movable between a first limit stop position outside the core boundary and a second limit stop position within the core boundary, and a key plug rotatable within the core body which interacts with the travel limit stop to move the travel limit stop between the first and second limit stop positions.</p> |
