1. A locking arrangement comprising:

  • a solid lock body, said body being defined by two opposite sides formed by parallel faces and a side wall extending between and around the perimeters of said faces, a first passageway extending through said body between, and normal to, said faces;

    a second passageway extending in from the side wall to transversely intersect the first passageway and a further predetermined axial extent beyond said first passageway into the lock body,an elongated element configured to fit closely, but slidably through said first passageway to extend beyond both of said faces its extremities with members to receive the extending extremities of said element and to be secured thereby, said elongated element having at least one orifice intermediate its extremities and co-alignable with the second passageway in the lock body when the element is disposed in the first passageway,an elongated lock secured in said second passageway of the lock body, said elongated lock including a plunger axially movable in said second passageway from a first position removed from the first passageway, to a second position extending through the first passageway and through said at least one orifice when said element has been disposed in said first passageway and its orifice is aligned with the second passageway, and into the further extent of the second passageway in said body;

    said elongated lock having a key receiving outer extremity and being operated by a key insertable into the last said extremity to move the plunger between its first position and its second position, in which second position the said elongated element is prevented from being moved within said first passageway, and upon turning the key and removing it from the key receiving extremity, the plunger is maintained in its second position, thereby to secure the said elongated element against any movement relative to the lock body and to the members receiving the extremities of the elongated element.
