A lock mechanism is disclosed. The lock mechanism includes a body and a clasp with a hole in. The clasp engages and locks with the body. There is also a key receiver with a keyway and a latch biased in a first direction by a spring. The latch has a protrusion for engaging the aperture to lock the clasp to the body. There are split pins which straddle a shear line between the latch and key receiver when in a locked condition and that do not straddle the shear line when the correct key is in the keyway. The split pins are biased by springs in a second direction, transverse to said first direction. The lock mechanism also has a retainer for maintaining the engagement of the latch and the key receiver.
