ABSTRACT:
A magnetically coded lock assembly has a lock having a housing formed with a key slot, a latch element movable in the housing between a locked and an unlocked position, and at least one magnet wheel in the housing rotatable adjacent the slot about a wheel axis. This magnet wheel is provided with a magnet, operatively engageable with the latch element, and displaceable between a blocking position preventing the latch element from moving from the locked to the unlocked position and a freeing position not blocking such movement of the latch element. A key has a body fittable in the slot and formed with at least one seat and a respective magnet-carrying disk rotatable in the seat about a disk axis through a plurality of angularly offset positions. Each disk is closely juxtaposed with a respective one of the wheels when the key body is fitted in the slot.
