Abstract
A new reset mechanism for an existing retractable wire lock. In one embodiment, the internal component for placing the prior art lock in reset mode by pushing the locking head into the lock casing is replaced by a component with a reset button. In a second embodiment, the internal component for placing the prior art lock in reset mode is replaced by a component with a reset button and that further includes a mechanism for using the locking head to retain the component in the reset position so that the button does not have to be continually pressed during the reset procedure.
