Abstract
A barrel lock has a cylindrical barrel with an axial bore. A compression spring and a center pin are coaxially mounted in the bore. A pair of locking balls mounted for limited movement in radially extending passageways are held radially outward in a locking position by the compression spring. When a key for locking and unlocking the lock is fully inserted into the lock and the key handle is operated, the compression spring is drawn rearwardly and the locking balls are permitted to move radially inward to an unlocking position.
