A cylinder plug, and a keyway, are provided. The projection of the key extends into the longitudinal groove upon insertion and withdrawal. The key projects from the keyway past the surface of the cylinder plug and penetrates into a space beyond the longitudinal groove for maintaining the key in its inserted position.
