ABSTRACT:
A tamper-resistant lock assembly includes a pair of cooperating keyway guard plates, each of which has a keyway formed therethrough. The guard plates are laterally displaceable relative to one another for movement between an open position, in which the keyways thereof are substantially aligned to allow for passage of at least a portion of a key shank therethrough, and a closed position, in which the keyway of one of the guard plates is at least partially blocked by the other of the guard plates. A uniquely-configured key is also disclosed for use in combination with such guard plates.
