Abstract:
A method of fastening a lock cylinder body in a generally flat element, comprising the steps of:providing in the element (20) an opening (22) which is defined by at least first and second mutually convergent edges (24a, 24b); arranging a blocking element (26) in said opening (22), wherein said blocking element is a tongue (26) formed integrally with said flat element (20); providing in the body (10) first and second grooves (14a, 14b) for co-action with said first and second edges (24a, 24b); inserting the body (10) into the opening (22) such that the grooves (14a, 14b) will lie flush with the edges (24a, 24b); moving the body in a direction parallel with the plane of the element (20) to a position in which said edges (24a, 24b) engage in said grooves (14a, 14b), so as to lock the body (10) against axial movement in said engagement position; and bending the tongue (26) to a position in which the tongue lies generally in the plane of said fiat element, so as to lock the body (10) against movement in directions parallel with the plane of said element (20) in said engagement position.
