i am so broke that i went to harbourfreight looking for some new locks to play with and i stumbled across this lock.. funny thing is that next to the keyway it had a phillips screw.. well i took a screwdriver and unscrewed it and BAM the entire lock mechanism slid right out.. talk about security..
It has been brought to my attention that some users do not like the fact that my username has the word "Crook" in it. It is a 10 year old gamertag and I am working on changing it. I hope that it has not caused any confusion // misinterpretation.

that screw's not accessible when the lock is attached to something. you might be about to get a 90 degree angle screwdriver to it, but it depends on what it's attached to at the time.

nah i removed the screw without even turning the keyway.. i did this in the store(with a screwdriver that i was going to buy and i also bought the lock(so dont think i was opening packages that i hadnt planned on paying for) i still purchased the lock so i could remove the cylinder..

As the previous poster stated, when that hockey puck lock is locked onto a shackle, the cylinder screw is inaccessible.
