Abstract
A method of fastening a lock cylinder body in a generally flat element comprises the steps of providing in the element ( ) an opening ( ) which is defined by at least first and second mutually convergent edges ( ), and providing in the body ( ) first and second grooves ( ) that are intended for co-action with said edges. The body is then inserted into the opening ( ) to a position in which the grooves are level with said edges, whereafter the body is moved in a direction parallel with the plane of the element into an engagement position in which the edges are in engagement with the grooves, therewith to lock the body in an axial direction in this engagement position. Finally, a tongue ( ) integral with the flat element is bent to a position in which the tongue lies essentially in the plane of said flat element, so as to lock the body ( ) against movement in directions parallel with the plane of the element ( ) in said engagement position. The lock cylinder body is fastened simply and reliably by means of this method.
