I just traded a lock for this one with my friend. Here are some close-up pictures of it.

It's a nice lock. I got one, early on in my picking experience, thinking it had an IC core. :oops:

Mine has one

Have you picked yours yet ?

by **Mad Mick** » 1 Oct 2005 19:01

I'll pull it out of the 'pending' bucket tomorrow.

Are you sure about the IC core?

by **ThE_MasteR** » 1 Oct 2005 19:03

It seems that it can come out, or else they wouldn't have made it that way.

I have a 576 which seems to be the same except for an extended shackle and brass on the outside. It was a nuisance at first because of the counter-tension. I was wondering if it were IC too...

How could I be sure it's a IC core ? By picking it I guess..I don't have the keys for these, so I can't do it, I got them from a friend.

I have the keys for mine, and so far as I can tell I can't find a way to pop the core out.

by **ThE_MasteR** » 1 Oct 2005 21:28

I'll pick it, and tell you how mine is..gimme a minute :lol:

Can enyone tell me how this lock is different from the No 530? I have one that looks exactly like that.

From what I can gather, the cylinder is probably the same, but the actual lock & shackle dimensions differ...

Well, if it's the same cylinder, then I guess I do have some experience with this lock. I bought one early on as well. I bought it because it was a "Contractor's Grade" and claimed pick resistance. I was a little put off when I took it out of the package and popped it open in under 3 minutes. I would say, not a very tough lock at all.

...both show the actual cylinder in the lock body. The shape is similar to an IC core, but I'm sure it is a lot smaller in this case. Having not actually dealt with a true IC, I can't give any reliable info. I didn't get around to pulling this lock out of the pending bin & playing with it today, due to my 'other' favourite past-time...reading.

Anyone actually been successful in removing the 'core' from this lock?

by **ThE_MasteR** » 2 Oct 2005 20:08

Was going to ask the same thing..Thanks for asking.

Not likely an IC, but more likely has a removable core. Try opening the padlock and looking in the hole where the toe of the shackle was. You'll likely see the head of a hex screw. Remove that and the cylinder should pretty much fall out.
