Abstract

The present invention relates to a swivel lever lock which is securable by a cylinder lock device and is mountable in a thin wall, such as a sheet-metal cabinet door. The swivel lever lock includes a base plate having two projections penetrating through the door leaf. One of the projections serves for the connection of a rod drive or for an articulated shaft for a hand lever, which can be swiveled away. The projection can be used simultaneously for fastening one end of the base plate. The other projection has a recess for receiving the cylinder lock device holding the swivel lever in its swiveled-in position and can be used simultaneously for fastening the other end of the base plate. Either the base plate or the swivel lever has a recess for receiving a second cylinder lock which can be actuated independently of the first cylinder lock for securing the swivel lever in its swiveled-in position. The tappets of the two locking cylinders respectively act on a common locking element in such a way that the locking element can be released from the position in which the swivel lever is locked in its swiveled-in position by one of the two cylinder locks.
