Hi Shyfted,
it's useless to find info about the pins if you're dealing with simple locks like your padlocks.
Pre-concepts will distract you from the important part of the game: the feedback! Just focus on the pins, they'll tell you what's happening.
If you want to find out their name or model number, maybe you can look on their website
