The invention relates to a key-check lock cylinder, which can be used for checking a key in a state of isolating with the outside during the unlocking. In order to ensure no friction between the key and a marble when a key transferring member is used for transferring the key, the diameter of a marble hole processed on a driven member, facing to the end face of the key transferring member, is less than that of the marble hole, backing to the other end face of the key transferring member, correspondingly, the diameter of the marble arranged in the marblehole, facing to one end of the key transferring member, is less than that of the marble, backing to the other end of the key transferring member, and the small diameter end of the marble can not be in contact with the key transferring member when the marble is moved to the limit position towards the direction of the key transferring member from the marble hole of the driven member, therefore, when the key is transferred to a key checking region, the key is not in contact with the marble, i.e. no friction resistance exists. The invention can be a lock directly locking a rotating shaft and can be also cylinders of other anti-theft locks.
