Wilson Bohannan lock disassembly

[Sturgell]

I have come across a few of the Wilson Bohannan brass padlocks that have lost key or have been phased out and I was wondering if anyone knew how to disassemble them and see what they are made of I am almost 100% certain these locks have master keys as I have picked the locks several times. Anyways I want to know how to remove the cylinder and pins.

ave a picture of the key way ?

I have 3 of the locks and two of them seem to be an M1 keyway and the other will have to wait for my camera to charge.

the key type isn't what i'm looking for it's the lock assembly

I am most interested in the left lock and the center one.

See if the tags work this time.

If not here it is.

open the lock and look in the shackle reciever hole and see if you can see a hex screw of some sort. if so then unscrew and it'll just about fall apart if not then you got some destroying of some locks ahead

[Sturgell]

No hex screws but how do they put them together? Surely there is some way to disassemble the lock without destroying it.

[UWSDWF]

nope.... it is assembled with a bunch of holes in the case that are then filled with metal when complete

[UWSDWF]

also they are most likely keyed alike and not master keyed

[Sturgell]

I can see where the holes were filled. If I drilled them out would it allow me to pull it apart? I dont really want to destroy them since I have started picking locks I have been given 30+ locks since Mid-December by random people that lost the keys or just had them laying around and I think picking that many different locks keeps my picking abilities up.

These locks have completely different origins the reason I think some of them have master keys is because sometimes when I pick the left one the outermost pin in the cylinder can be at one of two heights like a 3 or a 6 cut.
