A lock assembly incorporating a number of features designed to defeat attempts
to pick or destroy the lock. The lock cylinder assembly employs multiple arrays
of pass key pins, making picking of the lock much more difficult. Second, the arrangement
of the pass key pins in separate arrays requires that multiple cuts would have
to be made into the lock housing mogul or cylinder blank in order to defeat the
lock cylinder assembly. Third, the lock cylinder assembly of the present invention
may incorporate multiple sets of hardened dowel pins to prevent drilling through
the lock housing mogul in the area of the driver pins. Fourth, the lock cylinder
assembly of the present invention may incorporate a hardened cylinder shield behind
the front face of the cylinder blank to prevent drilling through the cylinder blank.
