ABSTRACT:
A concealed post lock includes an elongated cylindrical post having an enlarged head member secured at one end thereof and at least one locking member movably mounted at the other end thereof. The post contains a lock cylinder which is normally restrained from rotation within said post by locking pins but which are released by insertion of the proper key in the cylinder so that the cylinder may be rotated by the key. The cylinder is operatively coupled to the locking member for moving the locking member between a locked position and an unlocked position when the cylinder is turned within the post. In the unlocked position of the locking member, the locking member is located within the confines of the periphery of the post. In the locked position, the locking member projects outwardly from the periphery of the post. The concealed post lock is sized to be inserted through an opening in a store front gate or other member to be locked with the enlarged head member exposed at the front of the member and the post extending through the opening in said member with the locking member located behind the rear surface of the member, and with the post and locking member concealed and protected by the body of the member to be locked. In one embodiment, the locking member comprises a circular eccentric constituting a terminal continuation of the post, and in another embodiment the locking member comprises a pair of locking pins slidably mounted within the post.
