The lock cylinder assembly of the present invention incorporates features that defeat attempts to pick or destroy the lock, including employing multiple arrays of pass key pins arranged in separately and incorporating multiple sets of hardened dowel pins and a hardened cylinder shield behind the front face of the cylinder blank. A pick-resistant lock assembly (100) includes a generally-cylindrical lock housing mogul (102) having a cylindrical bore (182) having an axis A and being sized to accept a cylinder blank (103). Lock housing mogul (102) has additional arrays of bores, including a top key pin bore (150) and side key pin bore (170), sized to accept key pins, including top pass key pins (104) and side passkey pins (106) and (108). Each array of key pin bores may include a number of key pin bores, and not necessarily the same number of key pin bores. |
