ABSTRACT:
A lock cylinder having a key plug stop comprising an elongated arcuately formed wire received in an annular groove in the key plug. One end portion of the wire stop is retained in a slot in the cylinder shell. Opposite end portions of the stop are disposed in the path of the key and cooperate with the key to limit rotation of the plug relative to the cylinder shell. The stop may be assembled with the plug in either of two positions to selectively limit angular movement of the plug in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction from a key withdrawal position.
