Embodiment Construction

[0075]Turning now descriptively to the drawings, in which similar reference characters may denote similar elements throughout the several views, the attached figures illustrate a locking apparatus for securing locking devices requiring a barrel lock with the locking apparatus, in an example embodiment, comprising a key and a keyless insertion barrel lock.

[0076]One aspect of the current invention comprises a method for retaining a barrel lock able to be inserted and removed from locking hardware capable of receiving a barrel lock. FIGS. 10a through 10e show an example embodiment method for retaining a barrel lock. Referring to FIG. 10 a barrel lock 1 is inserted into locking hardware 14. Referring to FIG. 10b this causes a retainer 10 to retract as a result of inserting the barrel lock into the locking hardware 14. The retraction is a result of the interaction between the retainer 10 and the locking hardware 14. When the barrel lock is inserted the retainer 10 is forced into recess 3...
