A lock mechanism of the present invention includes a housing having an exterior surface and a locking cylinder associated with the housing. The locking cylinder preferably includes a rotatable element for locking and unlocking the locking cylinder, the rotatable element having a portion adapted to mate with an interface of a tool having a flexible portion leading to the interface. The lock mechanism preferably further includes a non-linear guide passage extending between the exterior surface of the housing and the rotatable element of said locking cylinder. Preferably, the flexible portion of the tool may be inserted into the guide passage to mate the interface with the rotatable element of the locking cylinder to permit manipulation of the rotatable element of the locking cylinder by the tool.
