ABSTRACT:
A rekeyable lock cylinder comprises a cylinder body and a plug assembly disposed within the cylinder body. The plug assembly comprises a plug body, a plurality of assembled pins, a position block and a rotating member. The plug body has a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and a first through hole. Each of the assembled pins is movably disposed in the plug body and comprises a first rack component and a second rack component selectively engaging with the first rack component. The position block is disposed at the plug body and has a plurality of pin runners for disposing the first rack components and a second through hole corresponding to the first through hole. The rotating member is installed penetrating the first through hole and the second through hole and has a contacting portion located within the second through hole, wherein the position block is capable of being pushed by the contacting portion and moved along the transverse axis-direction of the plug body for disengaging the first rack components from the second rack components.
