A lock comprises a housing defining a mounting face, a locking mechanism accommodated in the housing and operable to change between a locking state and a release state and a set of operating elements with buttons accessible at the front of the housing and actuable, such as by axial displacement, to operate the locking mechanism. The locking mechanism can be changed from the locking state to the release state in response to actuation of, and only of, a selected group of the operating elements. These elements can additionally be manipulated, in particular rotated, to select the group. The buttons of the selected group can be identified by respectively associated digits forming a code. The lock further comprises a slidable blocking plate blocking the rotation of the operating elements and cancelling means operable to cancel the blocking by the plate. The cancelling means includes a key barrel accessible for operation externally of the housing at a place, in particular the front of the housing, separate from the mounting face. Operation of the key barrel thus has the consequence of freeing the buttons for rotation to change the code. |

1. A lock comprising
a housing having a first side and a second side opposite the first side, the housing defining a mounting face at said second side, a locking mechanism accommodated in the housing and operable to change between a locking state and a release state, a plurality of operating elements accessible externally of the housing at said first side thereof and actuable by axial displacement to operate the locking mechanism, the locking mechanism being operable to change from the locking state to the release state in response to axial displacement of and only of a selected group of the operating elements and the operating elements additionally being manipulable by rotation to make the selection, blocking means for blocking the rotation of the operating elements, and cancelling means operable to cancel the blocking by the blocking means, the cancelling means being accessible — for operation — externally of the lock at a location on the housing other than the mounting face, said location being at said first side of the housing opposite the mounting face. |
