The proposed lock (Fig.1) consists of the housing and the plug disposed in the housing, which is arranged for rotation. The first plurality of the chambers is formed in the housing, while the second plurality of chambers is formed in the plug and is arranged in such a way that each one of the first plurality of chambers extends coaxially and corresponds sequentially to one of the second plurality of chambers. The plug is in a first rotational orientation relative to the housing; with a first multi-element pin assembly being disposed in the first plurality of chambers and a second multi-element pin assembly being disposed in the second plurality of chambers. The purpose of the invention: the first multi-element pin assembly contains an outer pin element with an axial recess and an inner pin element utilized for selectable axial orientation relative to the outer pin element. There is additionally an apparatus for retaining the inner pin element, which resists its disengagement from the outer pin element and misalignment with it.<IMAGE>
