A permutation lock is mountable on one section of a case and is adapted to secure a hasp carried by another portion of the case. The lock comprises a main housing in which a permutation setting mechanism is disposed. That mechanism includes a movable spring-biased locking element which is movable between a locking position and an unlocking position. A movable spring-biased locking bolt is arranged for rotation between a locking position for securing the hasp and an unlocking position for releasing the hasp. When the locking element is in its locking position, it prevents the bolt from moving from its locking position to its unlocking position. The bolt is mounted in an ancillary housing which is connected to the main housing at a rear end thereof, such that a wall separates the bolt from the locking element. The locking element includes a projection which is arranged to project through an opening in the wall when the locking element is in its locking position, in order to prevent rotation of the bolt from its locking position to its unlocking position. The ancillary housing is attached to the main housing only in cases where the depth of the main housing is insufficient to enable the projection to directly reach the hasp.
