A lock cylinder includes a housing, in which a sleeve having a cylinder core accommodated therein is rotatably supported. The cylinder core has spring-loaded tumblers forming a form closure with recesses arranged in the sleeve when a key engaging the tumblers is removed. Inside the housing, the sleeve is coupled to a coupling element by means of a disengaging sleeve. The coupling element is supported inside the housing and connected to a bearing in a rotationally-fixed manner. The bearing supports an output element. At least one of the sleeve and the coupling element forms a form closure with the bearing to block the rotation of the output element if an improper object is used in operative connection with the cylinder core.

The magnetic anti-tampering system of the magnetically enhanced key and lock system provides a mechanical and magnetic security system. It utilizes a modified paracentric key and a locking assembly affixed to a component inside of a paracentric lock. The magnetically enhanced key and lock system increases the security of a pair centric lock by defeating the unauthorized operation of pair centric locks by unauthorized users, such as inmates, who have fabricated copies of the authentic, paracentric keys. Paracentric locks and keys are the most common type of locks used in jails, state prisons, and detention facilities. The locking system requires that both the teeth of the key and the magnetic pairs of the key and locking dog combine to open the lock.
