A card operable magnetic lock apparatus comprising an elongated non-magnetic plate member and a plurality of tumbler members which are normally biased into engagement in longitudinally spaced recesses of the plate member to prevent longitudinal movement thereof. The tumbler members pivot about a common axis and have north and south magnetic poles which are substantially opposite relative to the axis. A properly encoded magnetic card can be positioned adjacent the tumbler members to urge the tumbler members out of engagement in the recesses to free the plate member for longitudinal movement.
