An illuminator control circuit is mounted on the key and is adapted for delivery of a code signal corresponding to a specifically preset code signal upon energization of the electrical contacts. The key is provided with a pair of illuminator elements in lateral position. The lock cylinder is formed in the key slot and is adapted for establishing an electrical contact with either of the electrical contacts on the key.
