ABSTRACT:
A lock assembly includes a lock body and a keyway covering member. The lock body includes a keyway disposed on an outer surface. The keyway covering member is assembled with the outer surface of the lock body, and is slideable between a covering orientation and an uncovering orientation. When the keyway covering member is in the covering orientation, a covering portion of the keyway covering member aligns with the keyway to cover the keyway. When the keyway covering member is in the uncovering orientation, an opening in the keyway covering member aligns with the keyway to permit insertion of a key in the keyway.
