ABSTRACT:
A locking mechanism includes a lock mount (10) and a lock core (50). The lock mount (10) includes front and rear mount faces (15, 14) and an inner mount wall (17) which defines a core-receiving chamber (18) extending from the front mount face (15) to the rear mount face (14). The lock core (50) is slidably mounted within the core-receiving chamber (18) of the lock mount (10) and is movable between a projected position and a retracted position. The lock core (50) further includes a core body (52) and an outer core surface (49) defining a core boundary. The lock core (50) further includes a lock lug (75) coupled to the core body (52) and movable between a first lug position outside the core boundary and a second lug position within the core boundary and a travel limit stop (90) coupled to the core body (52) and movable between a first limit stop positioned outside the core boundary and a second limit stop positioned within the core boundary. Additionally, the lock core (50) includes a key plug (59) rotatable within the core body (52) which interacts with the travel limit stop (90) to move the travel limit stop (90) between the first and second limit stop positions.
