1. A circuit breaker accessory comprising:
a circuit breaker accessory housing having an aperture;
a lip proximate the aperture;
a lock assembly secured to the circuit breaker accessory housing, the lock assembly configured to selectively disable the circuit breaker accessory, wherein the lock assembly includes,
a lock; and
a lock housing having:
an aperture configured to retain the lock;
a collar about the aperture, the collar comprising a shoulder configured to contact a first side of the lip of the circuit breaker accessory housing; and
at least one resilient member adjacent the aperture,
wherein the collar and the at least one resilient member cooperate to capture the lip of the circuit breaker accessory housing;
the at least one resilient member comprising a resilient member lip configured to contact the lip of the circuit breaker accessory housing, the shoulder and resilient member lip being oriented to capture the lip of the circuit breaker accessory housing.
2. The circuit breaker accessory of claim 1 , wherein:
the lock comprises a body, the body including a first orientation surface; and
the lock housing aperture includes an inner wall having a second orientation surface, wherein the first orientation surface and second orientation surface cooperate to substantially prevent rotation of the body within the lock housing aperture.
3. The circuit breaker accessory of claim 1 , wherein the lock housing includes a tab configured to extend radially outward from the collar, the recess being configured to engage the tab to prevent rotation of the lock housing.
4. The circuit breaker accessory of claim 1 , wherein the at least one resilient member is integrally formed with the lock housing.
5. The circuit breaker accessory of claim 1 , wherein:
the lock housing comprises a first and second end, the collar being disposed at the first end;
the keyed lock comprises a body having a first shoulder;
the aperture comprises an inner wall having a second shoulder configured to interface with the first shoulder; and
a fastener abutting the second end is coupled to the body to secure the body within the aperture.
6. The circuit breaker accessory of claim 1 , wherein the lock includes a cam configured to selectively disable a mechanism housed within the circuit breaker accessory housing.
