Ok, how to disassemble a lock?

[Picklocking]

Many of the topics and guides here advice to disassemble a lock, how does this actually happen and what type of locks can be disassembled?

Im sure here is a guide to that too here but I havent found it so far, thanks for the help already!

[Picklocking]

I was referring on disassembeling as to repin a lock if your wondering, not to attemt burglery ^^

[Shrub]

No we were just wondering why you didnt read up on site how to do it instead of makign a new thread,

Click my www button,

[Picklocking]

Hmm ok Ill keep searching but ill whine here if I cant find

[Shrub]

Hmmm, read what ive replied to you or else ill whine

[GutterClown]

I hate the term "picklocking"

[Picklocking]

I clicked your nice www but it didnt supply me info (tho it was a nicely made nice guide ^^) To be more exact I was looking ways to reping padlocks and info that how to strip different locks.

Or are these on the advanced?

[Shrub]

My www button tells you how to do what you asked to do, is it my fault you now change the goal posts? i think not,

There are a couple of guides on stripping padlocks,

All cylinder locks are stripped in a simular way to how its described on my www button, padlocks are the same except to get the plug out you undo the plug from inside the shackle hole otherwise they cant be repinned without damageing the lock,

If you read up you will get what you want, for anyone to come on this thread and retype whats alreay out there is a bit much to ask as your asking for full guides not just quick tips like cut it up with a hacksaw,

[Picklocking]

Hehe ok dont get stressed

I been modding forums my selfe and I know what pain in the ass it can be when ppl ask the same things over and over again even there is already info posted about the issue. How ever I did look and did not find

I was nearly asking for a link to a thread since I couldt find 1, and yes my question could have been more accurate, sorry for that.

Ill trye to find those posts you mentioned, hopefully with pick and stuff.

Thanks!

Shrub: Here in Finland there are practically no Euro-profiles or any kind of door hardware other than Abloys sold, so it is unbelievably difficult to find a repinnable lock in here or a pin tumbler that can be easily dismatnled.

As for a suggestion on lock, try some cheapie padlocks. Biltema has a few for couple of euros and local hardware stores might carry also a wider selection, mainly Abus and all kind of chinese made locks. Also on the coast you can probably find Assa products sold, if you are lucky.

Hope this helps

And for future, please don't use chatting language like "1" instead of one, unless you are referring to a number

Other than that, welcome to the forums, to the sport and I hope you enjoy it

Thanks Jaakko for the tips!

Actually I am trying to get my hands on the ava chubb pick, I got few of those locks and I do know the prinsible behind to pick them but I havent found it yeat, took me ages to even find the knowledge how they are manipulated, any ideas? if this is advanced just delete

[zeke79]

No need to delete your post but yes it is advanced material and discussion should not continue beyond this point.

[Jaakko]

Yep, advanced as zeke said, so wait till you get permission to the advanced area I haven't seen or heard of such tool, but I might be interested in Ava's I think I go shopping some day

There should a stickied topic on some of these forums that shows how to cook your padlock to remove the spring covers It should not be hard to find

[Picklocking]

Alright! I got my 2 richdoor newbie padlocks repinned for 1 key! Fun project indeed!

Tho I first drilled it open before I notested what Shrub ment ^^ No harm done they were 4 euro locks geh.

I really didnt find a guide for that but im thinking to make a simple howto post.

Second I still dont know how to get the plug out from a padlock? When the sidecover is off I can see the lockingbolt clearly but still I got no idea how to get my hands on the plug or neather how to get the lockingbolt out? or maby I misunderstood something...
