A method of constructing a packer assembly can include installing a body lock ring on a mandrel, and then outwardly surrounding the body lock ring with a structure displaceable relative to the mandrel by a setting mechanism. A packer assembly can include a setting mechanism which displaces a structure relative to a mandrel, and a mandrel lock device which permits one way displacement of the structure relative to the mandrel, the mandrel lock device including a body lock ring and a bias sleeve which urges the body lock ring into gripping engagement with the mandrel, the bias sleeve and the structure being separate elements of the packer assembly. The bias sleeve can be secured against rotation relative to the mandrel while the structure is rotatable relative to the mandrel.

1. A packer assembly, comprising: a setting mechanism which displaces a structure relative to a mandrel; anda mandrel lock device which permits one-way displacement of the structure relative to the mandrel, the mandrel lock device including a body lock ring and a bias sleeve which urges the body lock ring toward gripping engagement with the mandrel, the bias sleeve and the structure being separate elements of the packer assembly, wherein the bias sleeve includes an opening aligned with a longitudinal slit formed through the body lock ring, and wherein the opening is covered by the structure. 2. The packer assembly of claim 1, wherein the structure is rotatable relative to the bias sleeve. 3. The packer assembly of claim 1, wherein the bias sleeve is received in the structure. 4. The packer assembly of claim 1, wherein the bias sleeve is secured against rotation relative to a compressive load transfer component of the setting mechanism, and wherein the structure is secured to the component with threads. 5. The packer assembly of claim 1, wherein the structure comprises a wedge device which outwardly extends a gripping device of the packer assembly in response to displacement of the structure by the setting mechanism. 6. The packer assembly of claim 1, wherein displacement of the structure by the setting mechanism outwardly extends a seal element of the packer assembly. 7. A method of constructing a packer assembly, the method comprising: installing a body lock ring in a bias sleeve prior to installing the body lock ring on a mandrel of the packer assembly; andthen outwardly surrounding the body lock ring with a structure which is displaceable relative to the mandrel by a setting mechanism of the packer assembly. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the body lock ring permits displacement of the structure in a first direction relative to the mandrel by the setting mechanism, but prevents substantial displacement of the structure in a second direction opposite to the first direction relative to the mandrel, and wherein the bias sleeve urges the body lock ring into gripping engagement with the mandrel in response to displacement of the structure in the second direction relative to the mandrel. 9. The method of claim 7, wherein the installing the body lock ring on the mandrel further comprises securing the bias sleeve against rotation relative to the setting mechanism. 10. The method of claim 9, further comprising securing the structure to the setting mechanism after the securing the bias sleeve. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the securing the structure to the setting mechanism further comprises rotating the structure relative to the mandrel. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the rotating the structure is performed while rotation of the body lock ring relative to the mandrel is prevented. 13. The method of claim 7, wherein the structure comprises a wedge device which outwardly extends a gripping device of the packer assembly in response to displacement of the structure in the first direction by the setting mechanism. 14. The method of claim 7, wherein displacement of the structure by the setting mechanism outwardly extends a seal element of the packer assembly. 15. A packer assembly, comprising: a setting mechanism which sets the packer assembly in a well, wherein the setting mechanism displaces a structure relative to a mandrel of the packer assembly; anda mandrel lock device which permits displacement of the structure in a first direction relative to the mandrel by the setting mechanism, but which prevents substantial displacement of the structure in a second direction opposite to the first direction relative to the mandrel, the mandrel lock device including a body lock ring with an interior surface configured to grip the mandrel, and the mandrel lock device further including a bias sleeve which urges the body lock ring toward gripping engagement with the mandrel in response to displacement of the structure in the second direction relative to the mandrel, and the bias sleeve being secured against rotation relative to the mandrel while the structure is rotatable relative to the mandrel. 16. The packer assembly of claim 15, wherein the structure is rotatable relative to the bias sleeve. 17. The packer assembly of claim 15, wherein the bias sleeve is received in the structure. 18. The packer assembly of claim 15, wherein the bias sleeve is secured against rotation relative to a compressive load transfer component of the setting mechanism, and wherein the structure is secured to the component with threads. 19. The packer assembly of claim 15, wherein the bias sleeve includes an opening aligned with a longitudinal slit formed through the body lock ring, and wherein the opening is covered by the structure. 20. The packer assembly of claim 15, wherein the structure comprises a wedge device which outwardly extends a gripping device of the packer assembly in response to displacement of the structure in the first direction by the setting mechanism. 21. The packer assembly of claim 15, wherein displacement of the structure by the setting mechanism outwardly extends a seal element of the packer assembly.
