A coincidental lock adapted for vehicle steering column applications includes a lock bolt movable between locking and unlocking positions, a latch operative in a latched position to prevent movement of the latch bolt to the locking position, a lock cylinder on the steering column supporting a pawl for engagement on a key when the latter is inserted in the lock cylinder, and means operably connecting the pawl and the latch. The key, upon insertion in the lock cylinder, bodily moves the pawl into a cavity in the lock cylinder and maintains the pawl therein and the pawl, upon bodily movement thereof, urges the latch toward the latched position to prevent locking movement of the lock bolt once the latter achieves the unlocking position and as long as the key remains in the lock cylinder.
