The movable piece of a locking [[cylinder]], located in the middle of the cylinder itself. The plug's movement is restricted by the locking components until all components are in the correct position through the action of a [[Key|key]]. Once the plug can rotate, it actuates the locking [[Bolt|bolt]] to retract or extend, thus locking or unlocking the lock.

== History ==

The plug was first invented by [[Linus_Yale_Jr|Linus Yale, Jr.]] during the creation of the Yale Cylinder Lock in the mid-1800s.

== Resistance to Compromise ==

Because the plug is integral to the security of the locking system many security enhancements exist to protect against various attacks.

* A round mating surface with the cylinder. This improves tolerance between the plug and cylinder to improve [[Lockpicking|picking]] resistance.

* A lip or bevel on the user facing end of the plug to prevent shimming and other forms of [[Bypass|bypass]]. This also makes disassembly easier by only allowing the plug to be removed and inserted in one direction.

* Ball bearings to prevent [[Destructive_Entry|destructive entry]] in the form of drilling.

* Construction keying features, normally to catch ball-bearings from the pin chambers and provide key control during and after construction of a building.
